Why is Britain the originator of modern sports?

The British have a tradition of invention, good at making rules and advocating fair competition. In addition to the above 10 events, water polo in swimming and race walking in track also originated in Britain. The two new events, rugby and golf, added in the next Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games also originated in Britain.

In addition to the Olympic Games, many sports originated in or were regulated by Britain: horse racing, polo, snooker, billiards, cricket, squash, darts, curling, sledding and rock climbing ... Among sports events, the oldest recorded sports competition also appeared in Britain (1673 Scotton Archery Competition in Yorkshire). The Olympic movement originated in ancient Greece, but the embryonic form of the modern Olympic Games is the Winlock Olympia Games in Britain, and the Paralympic Games also began in Britain after World War II.
