information and facts about sport
Articles and basic information about non-scholarship sport most of these sports are played at the club or "intramural" level at most colleges Badminton dates back at least two thousand years to the game of battledore and shuttlecock played in ancient Greece, India and China.
A surprisingly long history for one of the Olympics newest sports! Badminton took its name from Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the home of the Duke of Beaufort, where the sport was played in the last century. By coincidence, Gloucestershire is now the base for the International Badminton Federation. Bodybuilding is the sport of developing muscle fibers through the combination of weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest. Professional bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points. Bowls is one of the most popular games on earth. I was once told from a very reliable source that there were more registered lawn bowlers in Australia than any other sport. Cricket I love cricket. Many say you have to be born into the game and most Americans simply cant understand what all the fuss is about but unlike baseball cricket is truly an international game. It has been likened to watching baseball on "valium" and a game can last for 5 days without anyone winning. |
Orienteering first began in the forests of Scandinavia as a part of army training. The term 'orienteering' or 'orientation' was a military term meaning crossing unknown territory with the aid of a compass and map as early as 1886, and by 1895 orienteering competitions were being held between different military units in the Sweden and Norway. Strong links are still maintained between the military and orienteering clubs in many parts of the world. Hitler banned the sport in occupied Norway because orienteers with detailed terrain knowledge were of great help to resistance groups.
Table Tennis is the second most popular sport in the world as well as the newest of the world's major sports.
