Answer 4

The oldest sport with a lot of history is wrestling. In biblical times, it became the first sport with even the word, "Israel" means "wrestles with God". Over the years, it spread more to the Greeks, where they standardized it in Sparta with brutal rules of competition, which was adopted by Rome. This became Greco Roman. Many more styles develped overtime, and the first cage match was during the Civil War, where to guys wrestled what's known now as folkstyle in a fence of chicken wire.
