    What was the first sport to be captured on film?

    I recently got into a conversation concerning 'action' film of World War One. I rememeber reading (or hearing) somewhere that virtually all the supposed 'live' combat film from that war was, in fact, 'staged', usually after the event it was supposed to depict. Does anyone know of a definitive reference that can confirm - or deny - this?
