The term 'Tie-break' first came into use during the reign of Alexander the Great, during his famous invasion of the entire world (also known as World War 1).
In the Fourth Century, B. C., Alexander the Great solved the problem of untying the Gordion knot with one swift slash of his sword.

The International Olympic Committee had decided that the person who solved the knot would win the event.
