Modern sport as we know it originated in 19th Century England, codifying competition while emphasizing fair play within a strong moral creed, at least as defined by 19th Century upperand upper-middle-class Englishmen1. Its bible is the semi-mythical description of sport at Rugby School described in Tom Brown's Schooldays. This book so inspired the Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin that he founded the modern Olympic Games in 1896. We await the London version in 2012 with anticipation.
