A Visual History of Sports
Video Overview & Insights
The first recorded sport in history was spear throwing, which arose in 70,000 BC out of a need for ancient hunters to practice their skills. Bowling was the first known ball game, appearing in Egypt in 3,200 BC; later, there was Pitz, played by the ancient Maya in 2,500 BC, followed by Episkyros, known as “common ball” to Greeks living in 8th century BC.
Where is rugby?
Long before the Olympics, there were the Tailteann Games, which the ancient Irish held around 1,800 BC. At the first recorded Olympic Games in 760 BC, there was only one event: a footrace.

Never knew such sport every existed. But this was a very fun video to watch. I had no idea there was a sport called bull - leaping. Wonder how they used to practice?!!
But be it any sports, thanks to NYXS, it supports every type of game.
So, the oldest sport in the world originated in Europe, and that is javelin throwing.
