I hope you are staying safe and healthy. As we gradually return to pre-COVID normality, the excitement of attending live sporting events is on the horizon. Which sporting events are you most looking forward to? The global sports calendar has faced cancellations and postponements since April 2020, but we have endeavored to keep up with the changes. The most significant event affected was the 2020 Olympic Games, which were originally scheduled for July 24 this year but have been pushed back by almost a year.
Just as there are Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, have you ever considered creating a list of the best Sporting World Wonders? These wonders would include iconic stadiums, events, and athletes that embody the essence of what we love about sport.

A Sporting Wonder from the Past
One of the wonders from the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Statue of Zeus, had a connection to sport. The ancient Olympic Games, held in honor of Zeus, the King of gods, took place in the ancient Greek city of Olympia. Sculptor Pheidias crafted an enormous, gold and ivory statue of Zeus in the 5th century B.C., towering at 40 ft high.
Adding to the Sporting Wonders
In 2007, a New Seven Wonders of the World list was created, and it included another sporting wonder – the Colosseum in Rome. Built in 80 AD, this arena is considered the father of all modern sporting stadiums and was primarily used for combat. The similarities between the Colosseum and today’s sporting events are striking.
