Is there any modern sport mentioned or described in the Holy Bible?

While the Bible doesn't explicitly mention many sporting activities, It does mention the following:

Wrestling: "And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day." - Gen 32:24 KJV

Boxing: "Thus I do not run aimlessly, I do fight as if I were shadowboxing. No, I drive my body and train it, for fear that, after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified." 1 Cor 9:26

Athletics: "An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules." 2 Tim 2:5 ESV

Endurance running (Marathon): "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" - Heb 12:1 ESV

Running(both Sprint, as well as Long-Distance), mostly in 1 Corinthians.

Remember back then Sports were a preparation/training for Warriors, to build up their bodies, and skill.

In the Holy Bible there is perhaps more emphasis on the spirit, self belief, self-discipline, adherence to the rules and sportsmanship of sport rather than a sport or sport itself. There are a lot of comparisons made of the Christian walk with Athletes at say the Olympics especially in the New Testament Epistles.

In the NLT version 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 "Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified."

I'm pretty sure the Bible tells all about curling.
