| Sports Sports can be identified with many of the physical activities dating as far back as the prehistoric times. Prehistoric cave paintings uncovered with the discoveries of ancient civilizations across places like the Indus valley, Mesopotamia, & Greece have always depicted some ancient activities which can be identified as the major forms of sports that these races enjoyed. Swimming, fishing, archery could always be identified with their daily livelihood and a competition of similar activities could often be termed as 'sports'. The advent of the Olympic games could be connected with the Mount Olympus, a place which is believed to be the heavenly abode of the Greek gods. Sports activities gained their modern shape with the introduction of local games like Prizefighting, horse-racing, football which came to prominence across large parts of Europe including England & Italy. Many of the popular rural games gradually swept past their urban locales with the start of the industrial revolution. The history of modern sports has mainly thrived upon the participation of the male species of humankind, while the women were not introduced to such degrees of physical activities till the early 20th century. |
