Yet we rarely ask questions about it's origins. This practice, which has it's roots in antiquity, has been invented twice. Jean- Manuel Roubineau looks back at this curious birth. He examines the whole world of sport, with a view to restoring the ancient significance of sporting practices. While highlighting the differences that separate our modern conception of sport from that of Antiquity, the historian underlines the similarities with our current practices, such as the emergence of the social figure of the athlete, the glory that surrounds the victor and that of a fervent public, and even athletic dietetics.
