First of all, this magazine is going to introduce the sport section. Therefore we are going to start giving the reader a definition about the concept.
A good definition of a sport would be: "An activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitions". A similar definition in the Oxford dictionary would be: "Activity that you do for pleasure and that needs physical effortor skill, usually done in a aspecial area and according to fixed rules".
For your information, in order to add to this definition we can say that sports can be divided in two types of sports: Mental and Physical sports.
Since ancient times, sports have been a discipline, an important one, in which the contenders are brought face to face in order to win the match. Structures and pictures have been found in China, suggesting engagement in sports activities as early as 4.000 B.C like gymnastics. In early Egypt evidence was found about fishing and swimming sports.
Ancient Greeks had established a wide range of sports which were a prominent part of their culture creating the Olimpic Games, being the first Olimpic game organized in Olimpia in 776 B.C.
Now a days, new sports have been transitioning from the physical aspect to the mental or physical aspect of a competition involving new techniques to perfect any discipline.
