I am postive there's more people here who can name much better games. The first one that I thought of was of course sword play/ stick play.

I'm pretty sure they considered jousting tournaments a sport, they also had lots and lots of other competitions and some are still done today, some of them are: Bow, Spear throwing, Hunting competitions, sword fights (natuarally), Foot Races, Horse Races, and Wrestling, they also had forms of football/rugby, soccer (with a ball made out of a goat liver) and sometimes baseball
