According to historical data such as cultural relics and buildings, China began to carry out sports as early as around 2000 BC. Gymnastics was a very popular sport in ancient China. From the monument built for Pharaoh, we can see that swimming, fishing and other sports have developed in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago and established the rules of sports.

Other sports in Egypt include javelin throwing, high jump and wrestling. The sports in ancient Persia include Iranian traditional martial arts and heroic sports, which are closely related to fighting skills. Sports that also originated in ancient Persia include polo and javelin competitions.

Since ancient Greece, a large number of sports events have been produced, and the development of military culture and sports in ancient Greece has influenced each other. A prominent manifestation of the profound influence of sports on the ancient Greeks is that they founded the Olympic Games, which was held every four years in a small village called Olympia in the Peloponnesus.

Since the ancient Olympic Games, the organization and related rules of sports have been continuously strengthened. Industrialization has given residents in developed and developing countries more leisure time to participate in and watch ornamental sports. The number of people participating in sports has increased and communication has become more common.
