Paris Games 2024: History Of Athletics
The word “athlete” comes from the Greek terms “Athlos” and “Athlon,” which translate to “one who competes for a prize.” Evidence of organised athletic competitions in ancient Greece can be found in the 23rd book of Homer’s Iliad, where Achilles holds funeral games to honour his deceased companion, slain by Hector in the Trojan War.
The contemporary Olympic Games have their origins in these early Greek sporting events. Historians often trace the beginnings of athletics back to the 9th century BC, with running, jumping, and throwing events being some of the earliest forms of sport, potentially dating back to prehistoric times.
