Wrestling was the world's first sport.

Is wrestling the first sport in the world? Yes. It's crazy. I never knew about it! The sport of wrestling has come a long way since it was practiced by our earliest ancestors, becoming a more formal and organized representation of the world's oldest form of competition. These days, traditional and modern forms of wrestling are practiced on every continent and in almost every country.

According to article: "Wrestling is considered the oldest sport in the world. We know because the famous cave paintings in Lascaux, France, dating back to 15,300 years ago, depict wrestlers. And not only in France either; Paintings with illustrated wresters have been found in caves all over the world, from 7000 BC in Mongolia, from 6000 BC in Libya and in prehistoric caves in Japan. A papyrus fragment was found with wrestling instructions on it, dating somewhere between 100 and 200 AD. And after all this time, it is still one of the most popular sports in the world."
Wrestling is also one of the most dangerous sports because of physical injuries suffered after wrestling which include concussions, skin diseases, and eating disorders. Physical injuries that stick with you for life are usually cauliflower ear, dislocations, skin diseases, torn ligaments, and concussions. A lot of people stop doing wrestling because of their injures and health.

There are two wrestling styles: freestyle, which permits holds all over the entire body, and Greco-Roman, in which holds are only permitted from the head to the waistline. Greco-Roman was the first style of wrestling added to the Olympic Games, making its debut in 1896, more than 1,500 years after Greek wrestling was established at the Olympic level. The Greco-Roman style was both the focus and main event of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, and was so popular that it paved the way for emerging styles in the 20th century.
Every year wrestling is growing more and more. Internet and television coverage has allowed the sport to reach more individuals than ever before, continuing to bring the unique and pure competitive elements of wrestling to spectators and athletes around the world.

The entire human body replaces itself about every 7 years

Today's alternate fact is "The entire human body replaces itself about every 7 years." Did anyone know about it? I did not! I think it is pretty interesting fact to read about. But does everyone like to read? I don't think so! Some people might have troubles with reading and understanding what is it about or it takes so much time. For this we have visual facts, videos that we can watch. So, today I am going to compare 2 sources that I chose. One is going to be only primarily text and the other one is primarily visual and you all can decide what is better for you. A written article is more about understanding and paying attention to each word. In primarily text author includes strong details and strong words since we can't see any pictures. We also can see written examples. We have to have imagination. That way we can imagine pictures in our heads. In the article I chose we can paragraphs and each paragraph has a title and a different meaning. What I think

How do I feel about blog?

I am trying my best for my blog to meet all the rubric criteria and I think I am doing pretty good with it. I have some struggles thought. Sometimes it's really difficult to write a certain number or words but I write as much as I can. I love writing as long as I can write my thoughts. I was a little bit stressed when we had to read articles about George Taylor and Kamala Harris. It was difficult for me to read and understand the difference between these two candidates. It took me few times to read each article and compare these two candidates. I am putting all my efforts into my blogs. I spend a lot of time on each blog. I am choosing the best pictures for it and I am checking all my grammars to make sure it's in a good shape. After I post my blog, I usually read it one more time and check for grammars. I am trying to follow all the rules that my Instructor gave us and finish all my work in time. I don't really mind if someone reads my blog. Just sometim

Social Media

Social media has become the main source of news online with more with more than 2.4 billion internet users , nearly 64.5 percent receive breaking news from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Snapchat and Instagram instead of traditional media. But, can we trust everything what says in social media? "There are many "fake news" websites that compete for attention with sensational headlines and ridiculous storylines that tend to get shared more often due to the lack of readers fact checking or reading more than the headline. That means that authentic content is hard to come by now. In fact, fake news is actually more likely to spread than the truth," said Martin, Nicole. I agree with it. It seems like we can't trust social media. Most of the time they make up the news. That way more people want to read the news and the website gets more views. News happens fast now. Today’s story will be tomorrow’s forgotten story. It is easy to miss things now because of how
