suggested for the game the name of Ping-Pong, the sound of the ball until the impact with the racket and the table. Ping-
Pong is very popular in England, even in South Africa and Australia. In that same year, a student of 14 years of the School
of Staffs, A. T. Finney, invented a short and parchment-covered command racket, presenting in the game a network of

athletics
Running, walking, throwing and jumping are natural movements in man and, in fact, the concept of athletics
goes back to very distant times, as confirmed by some cave paintings of the Lower Paleolithic (6000 BC-5500
BC) to the Neolithic showing rivalry between several runners and launchers.1 The sources are made more
accurate in Egypt in the fifteenth century before our era, with the oldest written reference, referring to the foot
race, found in the tomb of Amenhotep II (1438-1412 BC) 1 At the same time, the Minoan civilization (Crete)
also practiced racing, as well as javelin and discus throwing.
