sports


Sport is competition or activity that needs physical effort and skills and can be played following rules to keep you healthy, entertained or busy. Sportsmen should play sport in a way that shows respect and fairness towards the opposing player or team. Sport is good and a great way to meet new people and keep healthy. Professional sportspeople can earn lots of money. They receive payment for their performance because it is their occupation. Sports can develop important skills such as timing, hand-eye coordination, and sportsmanship. Football, rugby, cricket, marathon, etc are outdoor sports and badminton, basketball, volleyball, fitness, etc are indoor sports.
The Olympic Games are one of the largest multi sport event in the world. The Olympics is an international multi sport event which is divided into summer and winter sporting events and the summer and winter games are held in every four years. The program of Olympic sports generally consists of 53 disciplines, 35 different sports and more than 400 events. The Winter Olympic Games basically offer only 7 sports with 15 disciplines.
The flag of the Olympic Games has been divided into five different interlocking rings on a white ground that is black, blue, green, yellow and red. These five colours of the interlocking rings are representing the five parts of the world that were joined together in the Olympic movement. The five parts of the world are Asia, Australia, Africa, America and Europe.
"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well."
