AnswerIt is probably wrestling.

I just looked up the oldest 'event' in history, dating back to 1673 it's the Scorton Silver Arrow, an Archery contest in Yorkshire England.

It is wrestling and there is evidence. There was an artifact found (a piece of papyrus) that was written in Greek and had wrestling "instructions" on it. It was dated to 100 - 200 AD
