    About this audiobook

    Sports is marked with an ocean of historical moments when it transformed the world and made audiences hold their breath. Men have enjoyed indulging in sports since eons. We have looked for ways in which we can entertain ourselves. While ancient history tells us of board games and outdoor games which gradually evolved into the games that we see today, sports has been not just a mode of entertainment but also a way of keeping ourselves healthy.

    Long ago, great warriors used to be exemplary sportsmen who excelled in more than one fields. Many renowned kings and leaders have also been known as unparalleled sportsmen who had the ability to defeat anyone in many different forms of sports that were prevalent in those days.

    As sports gained mainstream and people began to choose sports as a mode of entertainment as well as a way of showcasing their skills, championships became commonplace too. Today we have numerous championships held across the world at different levels.
