Where did sports come from? While that may always remain a bit of a mystery, we take a dive into the history of sports across the world, from ancient Egyptian sports, the ancient Olympic Games, and eventually the explosion in formalized sports during the 19th century, which helped set the stage for the modern Olympic and Paralympic movement and the thriving sports industry.
This one’s a real treat because it was our first practice episode…so you get to hear us fumbling around and trying to figure things out as we talk about the history of sports and its Olympic and Paralympic connections.
