Hm, >we invented handball and (most of) modern gymnastics events. And total niche memes like Faustball, or Headis.
Skiing was invented in Scandinavia, that includes ski jumping and the like. Not all races
Various athletics events that aren't races are older than the English language itself
But yes, most organized sports come from England, which is impressive indeed

>that includes ski jumping
Are you implying ski jumping is NOT a real sport?

we invented most of the world's sports because we have a unique appreciation of "fairness"

They were all invented, directly or indirectly, by the Church, as the Church is the inventor/creator/builder of this civilization (Western Civilization) and everything good that you see around you is of the Church and everything bad is where we deviated from the Church.

Early cycling races started in France, Belgium and the US.

You can say the same thing about a lot of sports (soccer, tennis, boxing, bowling…) but yes, I agree, the fact that the English version has become the standard for so many sports is very impressive.

In no small part to the English invetion of the lawn mower, and thus lawn tennis was created.
