How many of today's action sports, athletics has its origin in the first Olympic Games in Greece. If you look at who invented track and field begin, you'll find that once again such as football, track and disappeared during the "dark" times, and emerged with modern facilities, in the wake of 1800.
Since we do not have tanks and jeeps and trucks in the ancient world, the soldiers have pride in their athleticism. The performance was one of the first competitive sport, and is aFavorite games today. It is debatable when exactly the Olympic Games began with a gap of 776 guesses in BC, as early as the ninth or tenth century BC.
There was a lack of games but also during the Middle Ages. In 1896 they were again in Athens, as organizers tried to bring the old tradition. A characteristic of these games was what is now called "Marathon" like. It was called "Marathon" on the run by Pheidippides in 490 BC in honor ofGreek town of Marathon to Sparta. He ran all day, to warn teammates' Persian invasion at Marathon. This distance was about 149 miles, the races of today are about 26 km, considerably shorter. When London hosts the 1908 Olympics, was their "marathon" Run 26 miles 385 yards (42.195000 kilometers) from the starting point for the stadium.
So, I think, if you know who invented it are athletics, you might want to give the honor of Pheidippides. However, there were bronze tripodswas found up to now run its course, until the tenth century BC, some might believe that prices for older games at Olympia. Or if you want to see more on the development requirements of athletes should be organized to meet the year 1849 in England when the Royal Military Academy, his first Track and Field. Maybe they should reward the track and field invented?
Old games finally extended to more races, boxing, wrestling and a pentathlon with fiveRunning, throwing and jumping events. In the United States track and field events are from 1860. Collegiate and amateur groups have formed here in 1873 and 1888. organized sports events for men rose to the first NCAA national championship in 1921. Women who had only recently received the U.S. elections were included in the Games in 1928. to make history in 1952, the Soviet Union sent the first team at the Olympics. The fierce competition between the USSR and the U.S.worked for the duration of the cold war, in the next 30 years. In the tradition of Olympic standards, are wars for the duration, so that all countries to participate in peace suspended.
Today's most popular events in the pentathlon competitions (5 sports) and heptathlon (7), Decathlon (10).
