Rowing, sculling (which is almost the same, the only difference is that in rowing you use 1 oar and sculling you use 2), backstroke in swimming, tug of war (which was an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1920), demolition derby (this is where a car goes backwards in order to hit another car), and even the high jump and pole vault you usually go over the bar backwards. Don't forget the shot put! Figure skaters spend more time going backwards than forward....
