hello friends this is another you thing
from it buzzer calm
today we'll be focusing upon questions
we just puts related because in each and
every paper we see a number of questions
regarding to a particular spot so
regarding that the topics of today's
discussion would be firstly we'll be
discussing the national sports of
various countries then we'll also see
into various sports related terms of
each and every sport as far as possible
but also you can do certain important
facts regarding a particular sport for
example what is the size of a tennis
ball
what is the height of a tennis court
unit and etc after that we look into
major tournaments at the national as
well as at the international levels and
certain famous stadiums like the
Venkatesh Stadium de Provence Stadium
and all so starting with the national
sports of various countries here it will
be very difficult for us to remember the
sports of each of the 182 184 countries
that we have as of today so we'll just
look into the sports or national sport
of the major countries only firstly in
the case of Argentina it is the sport of
Patou which is handball played on a
horseback for Bahamas we have this loop
sailing which is sailing when a masters
put on a boat in the case of Bangladesh
it is company for Brazil that is
capoeira capoeira is simply a kind of
martial art that the practice in busy in
the case of Canada it is ice hockey
which is a winter sport and they play
lacrosse as the national sport in these
summers Chile have the Chilean rodeo in
case of Iran we have a form of wrestling
core verges Epis Thani we have also
certain other countries such as
Philippines as armies now harness is
also a kind of a martial art Sri Lanka
is volleyball New Zealand is rugby as
you all know Russia plays
bandy as its national sport band is kind
of ice-skating in the case of Bhutan it
is archery and baseball in the case of
USA so these are the major sports or
national sports of major countries after
that we look into various sports related
terms of say important sports for
example we have in the case of athletics
the relay track lane hurdles hammer
throw discus throw high jump and all
here we have to keep in mind that what
kind of questions would come it would be
like this particular term discus throw
is related to which sport this
particular term like drop is related to
which of the following spoke so we have
to associate these terms with each and
every sport so in the case of badminton
we have the equipment such as
shuttlecock the service got we have
other things like smash hit drop double
fault and all further in the case of
basketball we have terms such as foul
technical foul under head overhead
common foul and others in the case of
boxing boxing has been more important in
recent times because he has been seeing
a resurgence in boxing so the terms
related to boxing are ring stoppage
timing footwork punch kidney punch
knockout and others in the case of
oscillating similarly we have a major
event that is held called the three-day
event showjumping presses falls and etc
coming to football which is one of the
most popular games in the country so we
all might be knowing some kind of terms
related to football so this will be
quite familiar terms such as hat-trick
foul left out penalty kick goal kick
head offside and etc in the case of
gymnastics
terms such as horizontal bar parallel
bar uneven bar floor exercise push-up
are more important see the question
sector would not at all focus on common
games such as football and cricket it
would obviously try to put in certain
terms related to uncommon or unpopular
sport just simply to intrigue the
candidate so we have to focus on games
such as gymnastics such as athletics
horse riding and all similarly in the
case of judo we have the color pills
which are by the name white blue green
and all in the case of hockey which is
the national sport in our case in the
case of India so this becomes more
important than the others also we have
terms such as short corner penalty
corner penalty stroke dribble push in
tiebreaker offside so we have to go
through each and every term related to
important sports in our case hockey
being on his most important sports
swimming is also unfamiliar or an
unpopular spot so we have to know or we
ought to know certain terms and hated
whistling - like freestyle breath dog
butterfly Lane pool crown and etc polo
has terms such as checker and mallet
tennis or lawn tennis as we more
popularly associated it with has terms
such as Grand Slams Grand Slams are the
four major tournaments as we all know
the breakpoint drop short grass court
dues and other related terms in the case
of shooting now shooting again being an
unpopular sport we have terms such as
rapid fire pistol standard rifle bull's
eye
free pistol range so these are the terms
which are again important for us to
remember volleyball has deuce similarly
in the case of tennis Spikers
booster smash sidearm penetration these
are the terms related to volleyball in
the case of wrestling we have freestyle
analysts in point and Heath so these are
the terms related to wrestling and
various important sports that we article
I would again repeat that we have to be
comfortable with various terms which are
related to sports which are especially
not popular
so we by default know much about games
such as football cricket we have to know
about games such as wrestling such as
volleyball such as tennis gymnastics
aesthetics so we can focus on those
areas as well come into our next area
that of discussing facts about major
sports again will not go into facts
related to each and every sports below
only be discussing facts related to
major sports such as basketball such as
tennis baseball soccer and all so
starting with basketball firstly the
plain quote is 94 feet by 50 feet wide
this may also vary depending upon the
tournament that is being played the
basket ring is 18 inches inside diameter
with the white cord 12 mesh net each
ring is made of metal which is not more
than 5/8 of a ring and it has to be
brighter in color for understandable
reasons the height of the basket has to
be 10 feet and the weight of the ball
should be between 20 to 22 ounces so
these are certain facts which we have to
keep in mind because such facts are very
very easy or easy to catch marks in the
question paper the circumference of the
ball in the case of basketball should
not be greater than 30 inches and should
not be less than 29 or 1/2 inches there
is a free-throw line which is 15 feet
from the face of the backboard which is
2 inches wide and again we all know that
there is 3-point field goal
19 feet from this 92 feet in 9 inches
from the center of the basket so these
are the dimensions related to basketball
so those were the important facts
related to the game of basketball
now we come to the next popular game
that is soccer so in the case of soccer
the maximum playing field is 100 yards
by 50 yards which can go till 130 by 100
yards wide
the longer boundary lines are called
touch lines or sidelines and again we
have a line called the goal line
discussing a readout the goal area in
the game of soccer two lines are drawn
at right angle to the goal line six
yards from inside of each goalpost lines
extend into playing field for six yards
and are again joined by parallel lines
with the goal line the KU distance
between the two goal posts of the goal
is eight yards and distance of the top
goal post or which is called as a
crossbar is again eight feet the weight
of the ball cannot be more than 16
ounces and cannot be less than 14 ounces
circumference of the ball again should
not be more than 38 inches and should
not be less than 27 inches so it should
vary between 27 to 28 inches the penalty
area in the game of soccer is the two
lines are drawn at right angle to the
goal line 18 yards from inside of each
goalposts lines extending the playing
field for 18 yards and that joined by a
line again drawn parallel to the goal
line the flat posts these are not less
than 5 feet high and not less than 1
yard outside the touch line now we come
to the game of football we are
have to differentiate that the games of
football and soccer are different so
discussing about football the length of
the field is 120 yards the width is
fifty three point three yards or 160
feet the height of the goalposts is at
least thirty feet height of crossbar ten
feet width of the goalposts is 18 feet
six inches or in a half feet inside to
inside and size of the ball or
circumference of the ball has to be
twenty three quarters to twenty quarter
inches talking about golf
so the specification of the ball firstly
the width of the ball should not be more
than one point six two ounces and size
should not be less than one point six
eight inches in diameter of the ball the
velocity of the ball should not be
greater than 250 feet per second
when tested in the USGA apparatus they
also allow for a two percent tolerance
in the apparatus the hole is four
quarter inches in diameter and it has to
be at least four inches in depth the
overall distance standard says that the
ball should not exceed a distance of 280
yards plus six percent tolerance again
when tested on the USGA apparatus so
that was about the game of golf now we
move on to the important facts related
to the game of tennis or lawn tennis as
we popularly call it firstly the size of
the code itself which is 120 by 60 feet
spy the rectangle marked is at 78 feet
by 27 feet for singles and 78 feet by 36
feet for doubles so we have to keep in
mind that there are dif
dimensions when single players are
playing and there are different
directions when the game is between two
players on one side or doubles the
height of the net in the case of non
tennis is three feet in the center which
gradually rises when we move to hurt
support the ball shall not be more than
two and a half inches and should not be
less than 2 5 by 8 inches in diameter
and its weight should be less than 2
ounces the service line is 21 feet from
the net this was about the major facts
about the important sports or popular
