The most popular outdoor winter sports are shooting,
hunting, hockey and in the countries where the weather is frosty and there is
much snow-skating, skiing and tobogganing. Some people greatly enjoy
figure-skating and ski-jumping.
Summer affords excellent opportunities for swimming,
boating, yachting, cycling, gliding and many other sports. Among outdoor games
football takes the first place in public interest. This game is played in all
the countries of the world. The other favourite games in different countries

All the year round many people indulge in boxing,
wrestling, athletics, gymnastics and track and field events. A lot of girls and
women go in for callisthenics.
Among indoor games the most popular are billiards,
