Canoeing

As this is a popular Olympic Sport, canoeing is usually done in one of


two types of competitions; which are canoe sprint or canoe slalom.
Both involve going downstream and competing against other
individuals doing the same to see who traverses the waters first. This
is also an individual sport and doesn’t involve teams.

Skiing

Skiing is a sport involving traversing icy or snowy mountainous


terrain on skis and performing stunts while doing it. A variation called
ski jumping is very popular as a popular Olympic Sport.
Gymnastics

Gymnastics is
considered a sport of
skill and form rather
than that displaying
brute force or speed.
It is based on keeping
certain physical
forms or twisting the
body into different
shapes rather than scoring a goal or a boundary. It is a popular
individual sport and an Olympic Sport with a lot of popularity.

The sport has several variations like trampolining, which involves


the use of trampolines, and tumbling, which involves both artistic
gymnastics and trampolining. The term Olympic gymnast carries
several positive connotations with it including physical beauty.
Running

Running from one


spot to the other,
no matter the
distance is a very
old sport. It
measures speed
first and foremost
and can be a team
or individual sport.
However, it is one
of the most
popular sports in the world and is most commonly identified as an
individual sport.

Many variations of this sport exist, such as sprints, which measure


speed over short distances, marathons, which measure endurance
as well as speed, etc.

Basketball

Basketball is a popular team sport in which two teams of five


players each compete against each other. The objective is to score
as many points by shooting the basketball through a hoop. It
is played on indoor courts and is part of the Olympic Games.

The game has penetrated into pop culture and has produced
legendary athletes like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Tennis

Tennis is a popular racket and ball game that involves maneuvering


a ball around a netted tennis court. The sport involves skill,
accuracy, speed, endurance, and strength. It is a popular individual
sport as well as a popular team sport, with two opposing players in
the former and a duo of opposing players in the latter.
Football

It is undoubtedly the most popular sport in the world with over four
billion fans worldwide. The FIFA World Cup, the world
championship event of the sport is one of the most highly watched
events of the year. The athletes in football are among the richest
and most influential in the world.

Golf

Golf involves hitting a ball with a golf club into a small hole. The
game traditionally involves playing on lavish courses and hitting
balls into 18 different holes. It is considered a game of skill and
focuses as well as intelligence since it involves hitting balls over
large distances and anticipating the effect of wind speed, terrain,
and ground elevation on the shot.
Volleyball

Volleyball is a popular team sport that involves maneuvering a ball


around a netted court by using just the hands while not allowing
the ball to touch the ground. Players are not allowed to hold the ball
at any moment, just to throw it around the court with their hands
and their fingers knotted with the opposing hand.
Sports entertainment is a type of spectacle which presents an
ostensibly competitive event using a high level of theatrical flourish and
extravagant presentation, with the purpose of entertaining an audience. Unlike
typical sports and games, which are conducted
for competition, sportsmanship, physical exercise or personal recreation, the
primary product of sports entertainment is performance for an audience's
benefit. Commonly, but not in all cases, the outcomes are predetermined; as
this is an open secret, it is not considered to be match fixing.

The term "sports entertainment" was coined by the World Wrestling


Federation (WWF, now WWE) chairman Vince McMahon during the 1980s as
a marketing term to describe the industry of professional wrestling, primarily
to potential advertisers, although precursors date back to February 1935,
when Toronto Star sports editor Lou Marsh described professional wrestling as
"sportive entertainment". In 1989, the WWF used the phrase in a case it made
to the New Jersey Senate for classifying professional wrestling as "sports
entertainment" and thus not subject to regulation like a directly competitive
sport.

Some sports entertainment events represent variants of actual sports, such as


exhibition basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters. Others modify sport for
entertainment purposes: many types of professional wrestling (which derived
from traditional wrestling), and more recently many of the various mascot
races held at numerous Major League Baseball games in-between
innings. Roller derby was presented as a popular form of sports entertainment
in the 1970s, though modern versions are legitimate competition.

Sports entertainment has a stigma of being mindless, low-level pop culture, in


some cases glorifying violence for the sake of entertainment, and has been
criticized as such in popular media, often through lampooning.
