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 Egypt and the ancient Olympics, to the eventual explosion in formalized sports during the 19th century, which helped set the stage for the modern Olympic movement and thriving sports industry.
Our second practice episode where we continue discussing the history of sports and how that connects with the Olympic & Paralympic Games. Not quite as much a mess as the first practice, but still kind of a mess.
