UNIT 9
Task 18. “Sports around the world” Transcript
Different nations have very different ideas about which sports really count. Rugby is a classical case. There’s only one nation whose national sport is rugby, and that’s New Zealand.
Rugby is also popular in South Wales but not North Wales, which is mad about football.
Much the same is true for other sports. Hockey is big in Canada, Czech Republic and Russia. Cricket is an interest only in Britain and former British colonies.
Baseball is popular in the United States and some (but not all) of Latin America.
Cycling is massive in France, the Low Countries and maybe Italy. The Australians stay up late to watch their swimmers, and so on.
Even the Olympic Games are not a true global phenomenon, because my Olympics is different from yours.
Though no sport is truly global, all sports are becoming more international.
