Since the Greek gods and goddesses were from long ago there is no Greek god or goddess of sports but if meaning like the Olympics it would be Zeus because, the Olympics were dedicated to him. Above is one idea. Here is another idea Nike is the Greek goddess victory and the one that many consider to be the Greek Goddess of sports.
NIKE (or Nicé) was the winged goddess or spirit of victory, both in battle and peaceful competition. When Zeus was gathering allies at the start of the Titan War, Styx brought her four children, Nike (Victory), Zelos (Rivalry), Kratos (Strength) and Bia (Force) into the service of the god.Nike was appointed his charioteer, and all four were appointed as sentinels standing beside the throne of the god. Beyond this Nike never acquired any distinctive mythology of her own.Mother:Styx/Oileis (River of divine promise)Father:Pallas (Titan of the spear)Sister:Bia (Force, Power, Might, Compulsion )Brother:Zelos (Emulation, Zeal, Eager Rivalry, Envy)Kratos (Strength, Might, Power)
She is the goddess of war, wisdomand and battle strategy -well she was more of the goddess of war strategies and all and she was like the fave. daughter of Zeus
The Roman goddess Venus.
==== well if you read it like the famous shoes brand,then it means nothing :) but if you read it like "nicky" then it means "victory" ==== Nike was the goddess of victory.
She liked winning since she's the goddess of victory.
I think that Nike carries a caduceus since it is a symbol of messengers. As the Winged Goddess of Victory, Nike needs to proclaim people's victories, sort of like a herald. This would signify the need for a caduceus.
Nike was the Greek goddess of victory. She was often depicted with wings, symbolizing swiftness and triumph. Nike was a significant figure in Greek mythology, closely associated with athletes and warriors seeking success.
Nike comes from Greek. Nike was the Greek goddess of victory. Nike entered the American language when it became a brand name. It is technically a name, not a word. It is like Kleenex, which is a brand name that has come to mean 'tissues' over time.

Um...Tawerat was/is an egyptian goddess. She's the goddess of birth, fertility, etc. She looks like a fat hippo Just ask Rick Riordan ;)
Ah, okay. The answer is really like, whoa. so if you've read about Greek gods and goddesses you MIGHT remember one named Nike. She was the goddess of Olympics. of course. so that's why the company chose Nike. The shoe brand is made for athletics.
There is Nike, a company that sells shoes that is also the greek goddess of victory. Also sayings like Achilles heel and Pandora's box. Also the word nemesis comes from the greek goddess of revenge.
Nike is the goddess/personification of victory. Athena is a warrior goddess, unlike the other warrior olympian, Ares, she favored diplomacy, and was thought to be more decisive and tactical. Where as Ares just enjoyed bloodshed and fighting for the sake of fighting. Most depictions of Athena holding Nike derive from what was thought to be her statue in the Parthenon. Holding Nike in her open extended hand was like her extending victory to the Athenians. Whom she was the patron deity of. In fact the name Athens comes from her name.
Nike's most common symbol was the palm branch. She was also frequently pictured with Athena and sometimes the goddesses were called Nikai, so Athena's symbols such as the owl and the olive tree sometimes translated to Nike.
Nike was the winged goddess of victory - both in war and and peaceful competition.Pallas, Titan god of warcraft and the Greek campaign season of late spring and early summer was her father.Styx, was both the goddess of the Underworld river of like name and of hatred. Zeus made her river the agent of the binding oath of the gods, the mother of Nike.Nike's siblings were;Kratos, god of strength.Zelos, god of rivalry.Bia, goddess of force.
