what was the first sport ever
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Yep wrestling would be the first sport ever invented.The Chinese were using a form of wrestling called Shuai Jiao back around 2697 BC at the time of the Yellow Emperor's reign.They used horned helmets as well to gore their opponents in much the same way Rhino does in TNA today. thought cavewoman tossing was the first sport!!! HAHA just kidding! I guess it is possible. There are numerous references to wrestling in one form or another dating back to the days of the Romans. Greco-Roman wrestling was a sport in ancient times, but I am sure there were others.
