sports

Throughout mankind, there have been many sports and arguments, but personally, I’ve never heard the argument what is the oldest sport and I bet you haven’t either. If you go on the internet some will tell you running/track and others will tell you wrestling or spear-throwing if you ask me I would say wrestling because of the cave paintings "15,000 years ago in France, Egypt and other places"(stated by Simone). Wrestling could have been made up from young men just being bored and horse playing. Same thing could be said about running as well.stated in history https://www.catawiki.com/stories/4865-the-5-oldest-sports-in-the-world "Wrestling was introduced in the ancient Olympics In 708bc. Track and field didn’t get introduced in the Olympics until 776bc which held a 600 foot long race". Going back to the paintings of wrestling which dated back to 15 -20 thousand years ago, there are old fragments found with wrestling instructions on it. Paintings have been found in places like Mongolia even japan, after all this time wrestling is still a very popular sport and one of the most popular ones out right now even though it gets out shined by sports like basketball football soccer etc. it’s still a milestone in history as the first sport to ever be created and that’s something nobody can take away from it.
