mountaineering
- people
- Sir Hugh Thomas Munro, 4th Baronet (16 October 1856 – 19 March 1919) was a Scottishmountaineer best known for his list of mountains in Scotland over 3,000 feet (914.4 m), known as Munros. Munro was the fifth child of Sir Campbell Munro, 3rd Baronet and also a grandson of Sir Thomas Munro, 1st Baronet of Lindertis.
angling
- [a history of english country sports by michael billett] comprises the art or skill of catching fish with rod, line and hook but this was not the usual method of fishing before the 15ht c. It was often then done by net and spear to provide food without any hint of a sporting spirit. One of the earliest treaties on the subject in 15th c was written as an appendix to the second edition of dame juliana berners' book the boke of st albans in 1496. Wynkyn de worde printed the work which was entitled treatyse of fysshynge with an angle. Izaak walton wrote the compleat angler or the contemplative man's recreation - being a discourse of rivers fishponds fish and fishing not unworthy of the perusal of most anglers in 1653. The six great rivers for fishing at the time were thames, medway, tweed, severn, tyne and trent. The angling which took place in the 15th and 16th c was mainly for carp. Fishing lines running along the rods, through guides, from reels were not used at the time, despite the knowledge of their existence in china for several centuries.
- 有一位美國垂釣者，他的魚鈎上只掛一朵小野花。這突然降臨的鮮花，在魚的世界裏，不亞於爆炸性的新聞。魚兒們圍過來，對花朵進行研究、分析，躍躍欲試，伺機上前親吻，甚至會偷咬一口花瓣。當魚兒們再次來臨到花朵旁，牠們興奮地游來游去，浮標在水面時沉時浮。終於，一尾金色鯉魚像小野花一樣掛在了魚鈎上。美國人和英國人同宗，但對釣魚卻有不一樣的管理模式，頗顯規範。德國人向來以嚴謹著稱，所以在德國釣魚--要像考駕照一樣考釣魚證。釣魚證有效期分為1年、5年、10年，你要先通過資格考試；要想參加考試，你要先參加40個小時的專業培訓課；上了課，考了試，有了釣魚證，還需加入一個釣魚俱樂部，因為不同俱樂部對應不同的垂釣水域，真可謂釘是釘鉚是鉚，不能閃轉騰挪。中國古時候，士大夫把釣魚作為一種消遣，更是通過釣魚表達自己對自由山水和生活的感受。明太祖朱元璋相約解縉釣魚，地點選在了御花園裏。斯里蘭卡流行高蹺釣魚，什麼叫高蹺釣魚呢？對，類似踩着高蹺釣魚。斯里蘭卡北部灣海濱早晚漲潮時巨浪滔天，出海捕魚危險系數較高。充滿智慧的斯里蘭卡人，從森林裏取來一根根長木頭，運到海邊來，待到退潮時分別豎起來立在海灘裏，再弄來一些粗壯的樹枝，用鉚釘將它們釘在木頭上，做成一個個小凳子，這樣漁民們等潮來時坐在上面海釣就非常愜意了。生活在非洲撒哈拉地區的阿格雷人，是在沙子裏進行釣魚的。原來，沙漠下面有很多暗河，暗河裏有水也有魚。穆托姆博是一位70歲的古稀老人，每當部落裏缺少食物，他就領着十幾個漢子去沙子裏釣魚。他有一項非常厲害的本領，是單靠觀察沙堆形狀便可判斷下面是否有暗河。穆托姆博常抄一把小鐵鏟，只要在沙子上挖上幾鏟，通過觀察沙土的顏色與濕潤程度便可判斷沙子下面是否有暗河，他把昆蟲掛在簡陋至極的魚竿上，然後「捅」進滲水的暗河中去。接下來，需要做的只是耐心等待，魚一咬鈎，就算「開張」了。運氣好的話，穆托姆博和他的「團隊」一天可以釣30多斤魚，如果做成「魚粥湯」，可讓部落吃上一天半呢！http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2020/07/21/b02-0721.pdf
Archery
- 韘，shè、xiè、韘在古代射箭时戴在手上的扳指时读shè。读xiè时古通“渫”，是疏浚之意。扳指在古代名韘，射决也，在商代便已经出现，是射手用来扣住弓弦射杀猎物的工具。中国传统扣弦开弓法不同于欧洲那种以食指和中指拉弦的方式，而是以戴上韘(扳指)拇指拉开弓弦,包括后来的蒙古族、满族，也都是这种开弓法.射箭时戴在右手大拇指上扣住弦弓. 韘又称为“决”。传统的汉族韘与满族,蒙古族的扳指略有区别,汉族的韘从侧面观是梯形,即一边高一边低,而蒙古族,满族的扳指一般为圆柱体.
football
- a bicycle kick, also known as an overhead kick or scissors kick - Labourers from the Pacific seaports of Chile and Peru likely performed the first bicycle kicks in football matches, possibly as early as the late 19th century. Advanced techniques like the bicycle kick developed from South American adaptations to the football style introduced by British immigrants. Brazilian footballers Leônidas and Pelé popularized the skill internationally during the 20th century. The bicycle kick has since attained such a wide allure that, in 2016, FIFA (association football's governing body) regarded the bicycle kick as "football’s most spectacular sight".
- Leônidas da Silva (Portuguese pronunciation: [leˈõnidɐz dɐ ˈsiwvɐ]; 6 September 1913 – 24 January 2004) was a Brazilian association footballer and commentator, who played as a forward. He is regarded as one of the most important players of the first half of the 20th century. Leônidas played for Brazil national team in the 1934 and 1938 World Cups, and was the top scorer of the latter tournament. He was known as the "Black Diamond" and the "Rubber Man" due to his agility.Leônidas is one of several possible players credited for inventing the "Bicycle kick".

- http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20200204/PDF/b4_screen.pdf清代蘇州桃花塢的一幅《十美踢球圖》年畫中，我就了解到原來明清女子也能參與到蹴鞠活動中。畫中有十位穿着滿漢服裝的女子，其中三位在踢蹴鞠，另外七位女子和兩個兒童在一旁觀看，這是當時女子流行的一項體育娛樂活動。
- http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20200417/PDF/a20_screen.pdf 蹴，意思就是「踢」，可見《晉書》。唐代變古蹴鞠戲為「蹴毬」，亦即「踢球」；「其法：植兩修竹，高數丈，絡網於上為門以度毬，毬工分左右朋以角勝負」，亦即球員分作兩隊，雙方角逐，務求把足球踢進對方有網的龍門。唐代詩人白樂天也有「蹴毬塵不起」之句。唐代那時距今大約一千二百多年了。鞠，部首從「革」，是我國古代用皮革製成的充氣皮球。早在《史記‧衛將軍驃騎傳》，述及漢武帝時，年輕猛將霍去病（衛青姊子）六次出擊北方匈奴，於塞外缺糧草或不能自振時，「尚穿域蹋鞠」。西漢時期，軍中常以踢皮球比賽作為「習武之戲」，以鍛煉靈活性和體能等。《史記》、《漢書》，以至《戰國策》均有記載。蹋鞠，亦即蹴鞠，用腳踢皮球的意思。後來唐代韋應物有詩句：「蹴鞠軍中樂。」漢武帝在位五十三年，即公元前一四○年至公元前八十七年，距今大約二千一百多年。試問英格蘭那時是否已有踢足球比賽呢？可否提出足夠的證據呢？ 一九七三年，湖南長沙馬王堆三號墓中，出土西漢古帛書，距今約二千一百多年，所書《十六經》中的一篇《正亂》，記述黃帝戰勝蚩尤之事；有一段內容是涉及蹴鞠的，指黃帝命令把蚩尤的大胃充氣，當作皮球般來踢。另外劉向《別錄》也說：「蹴鞠者，傳言黃帝所作。」不過，迄今全無實物證明，僅屬一種神話傳說，不足以作為蹴鞠的起源。現時，較早的實物是漢代畫像石上刻的蹴鞠圖，像河南省南陽發現的畫像石和登封啟母闕的浮雕，線條皆簡練生動，踢球姿勢優美。蹴鞠盛行於唐、宋；宋代的銅鏡背面、象牙雕筆筒和陶瓷枕上，皆見有栩栩如生的蹴鞠圖。附圖是宋末元初錢選彩繪宋太祖趙匡胤、太宗與近臣挑踢足球取樂，皮球用一塊塊幾何形的皮革綴成，是那時代現實生活的寫照。至於女子踢足球，在描繪唐代宮廷婦女娛樂的《仕女圖》卷上清楚可見。
- 中國足協14日在上海召開職業聯賽專項治理工作會議，公布2021-2023賽季各級職業聯賽俱樂部財務約定指標，同時發布《關於各級聯賽實行俱樂部名稱非企業化變更的通知》。 根據指標，下賽季起中超俱樂部年度總支出限額為6億元人民幣，中甲和中乙俱樂部年度總支出則分別不能超過2億元人民幣和5000萬元人民幣。中超俱樂部一線隊國內球員年薪限額500萬元，外籍球員年薪限額300萬歐元（約合人民幣2382萬元）。中超俱樂部國內球員平均年薪應不超過300萬元，外籍球員薪酬年度總支出限額為1000萬歐元（約合人民幣7941萬元）。 中超俱樂部在亞冠聯賽單場贏球獎金不超過600萬元，平球獎金不超過200萬元。參加中超和足協杯的單場贏球獎金和平球獎金限額則分別為300萬和100萬元。中國足協要求各俱樂部在新賽季使用中國足協公布的合同模板與俱樂部球員簽訂新合同。如球員原合同薪酬高於新合同約定薪酬，俱樂部可與球員簽訂補充協議，在2023年12月31日前發放薪酬差額部分。 為推進政策並杜絕「陰陽合同」等情況出現，中國足協制定了嚴格的懲罰措施。俱樂部總支出、球員薪酬超標等情況將被罰除6到24個聯賽積分。如俱樂部與球員弄虛作假被查實，俱樂部將被強制降級，球員將被處以兩年禁賽。 根據俱樂部名稱非企業化政策要求，俱樂部名稱不得含任何股東及關聯方、實際控制人的字號、商號或品牌名稱，也不得使用相似或近似的漢語或詞組。俱樂部名稱要體現地域傳統文化、歷史風俗、人文精神或俱樂部理念等特色。各俱樂部需要在2020年12月31日前將工商部門初步核准的擬用名稱報中國足協競賽部審核，並在2021年2月28日前完成新賽季註冊。http://www.takungpao.com.hk/life/238149/2020/1216/532157.html

Fencing
- A foil is one of the three weapons used in the sport offencing, all of which are metal. It is flexible, rectangular in cross section, and weighs under a pound. As with theépée, points are only scored by contact with the tip, which in electrically scored tournaments is capped with a spring-loaded button to signal a touch. A foil fencer's uniform features the lamé, a vest, electrically wired to record hits in such cases. It is the most commonly used weapon in competition.
- The sabre is one of the three weapons of modern fencing, and is alternatively spelled saber in American English. The sabre differs from the other modern fencing weapons, the épée and foil, in that it is possible to score with the edge of the blade; for this reason, sabreur movements and attacks are very fast. For the other two weapons, valid touches are only scored using the point of the blade. Like the foil, but unlike the épée, sabre uses the convention ofright-of-way to determine who acquires the touch. The term sabreur refers to a male fencer who fences with a sabre. Sabreuse is the female equivalent.
- A decidedly medieval invention, with some predecessors before it but nothing quite exactly, it was the great invention by need of the Hungarians to face off the Turks to their right with their very curved Scimitars and the Franks to their left with their straight longswords. The sabre combines the best of two worlds and maximizes the fighting prowess of a mounted warrior. The military sabre, with slight changes in curvature and length and weight, remains unchanged and their technique also remains basically the same (the art has evolved with the user, but the foundations are the same). And while no longer actively used as a weapon of war, it is still widely taught to western martial arts practitioners.https://www.quora.com/What-European-Medieval-technology-is-still-being-used-mostly-unchanged-today

The Marines won the inaugural Japan Series in 1950.In 1958, the team was merged with the Daiei Unions and renamed the Daimai Orions. In 1964 they became the Tokyo Orions, and the Lotte Orions in 1969. The franchise was slow to replicate its initial success: the Orions made the Japan Series in 1960 and 1970, only to lose both years.本球隊由日本樂天集團ロッテ所有（日本的老闆為重光武雄，而韓國樂天是由他的親兄弟幫忙管理；儘管重光武雄是在日韓僑，韓名辛格浩，後來為了公司發展入籍日本，該企業還是被認為是韓國企業所擁有），但為了與樂天株式會社分別，尤其是後者成立了東北樂天金鷲，為了避免出現樂天雙胞胎的情況，故棒球迷一般稱呼為羅德。

Polo is a team sport played on horseback. The objective is to score goals against an opposing team. Players score by driving a small hard white ball into the opposing team's goal using a long-handled wooden mallet. The modern game usually lasts one to two hours and is divided into periods called chukkas (or "chukkers"). Polo is played professionally in 16 countries. Polo was an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1936.
- The invention of polo is dated variously from the 6th century BC to the 1st century AD.[3]Its exact origins are unknown, although China, India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan all claim to be the birthplace of polo. Valuable for training cavalry, the game was played from Constantinople to Japan by the Middle Ages. It likely began as a simple game played by mounted nomads of Iranian and Turkic origin in Central Asia, from whence it spread to Persia and beyond. An archaic variation of polo, regionally referred to as buzkashi or kokpar, is still played in parts of Asia. The sport entered Persia during the period of the Parthian Empire (247 BC to 224 AD). In Persia, polo enjoyed great patronage under kings and noblemen and became known as chovgan. The game continued to be supported by Mongol rulers of Persia in the 11th century, as well as under the Safavid dynasty. Emperor Shapur II learnt to play polo when he was seven years old in 316 AD, and in the 17th century, Naqsh-i Jahan Square in Isfahan was built as a polo field by King Abbas I. The game was also learnt by the neighbouring Byzantine Empire at an early date. A tzykanisterion (stadium for playing tzykanion, the Byzantine name for polo) was built by emperor Theodosius II (r. 408–450) inside the Great Palace of Constantinople. Emperor Basil I (r. 867–886) excelled at it; Emperor Alexander (r. 912–913) died from exhaustion while playing and John I of Trebizond (r. 1235–1238) died from a fatal injury during a game.[9] After the Muslim conquests to the Ayyubid and Mameluke dynasties of Egypt and the Levant, their elites favoured it above all other sports. Notable sultans such as Saladin and Baybars were known to play it and encourage it in their court. Polo sticks were features on the Mameluke precursor to modern day playing cards.

Rodeo
- Rodeo is a competitive sport that arose out of the working practices of cattle herding in Spain, Mexico, and later Central America, the United States, Canada, South America, Australia and New Zealand. It was based on the skills required of the working vaqueros and later, cowboys, in what today is the western United States, western Canada, and northern Mexico. Today it is a sporting event that involves horses and other livestock, designed to test the skill and speed of the cowboys and cowgirls. American style professional rodeos generally comprise the following events: tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, bull riding and barrel racing. The events are divided into two basic categories: the rough stock events and the timed events. Depending on sanctioning organization and region, other events such as breakaway roping, goat tying, or pole bending may also be a part of some rodeos. American rodeo, particularly popular today within the Canadian province of Alberta and throughout the western United States, is the official state sport of Wyoming, South Dakota, and Texas. The iconic silhouette image of a "Bucking Horse and Rider" is a federal and state-registered trademark of the State of Wyoming. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta has considered making American rodeo the official sport of that province. However, enabling legislation has yet to be passed.

老鹰捉小鸡，粤语称为麻鹰捉鸡仔Kabaddi is a contact team sport. Played between two teams of seven players, the object of the game is for a single player on offence, referred to as a "raider", to run into the opposing team's half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders, and in a single breath. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the game if they are tagged or tackled, but can be "revived" for each point scored by their team from a tag or tackle.Two major disciplines of kabaddi exist; Punjabi kabaddi, also known as "circle style", refers to traditional styles of the sport that are played on a circular field outdoors. The "standard style", played on a rectangular court indoors, is a discipline primarily played in major professional leagues, as well as international competitions such as the Asian Games.
car racing
- Grand Prix motor racing is a form of motorsport competition that has its roots in organised automobile racing that began in France as far back as 1894.[1] It quickly evolved from a simple road race from one town to the next, to endurance tests for car and driver. Innovation and the drive of competition soon saw speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), but because the races were held on open roads there were frequent accidents with fatalities resulting to both drivers and spectators. Grand Prix motor racing eventually evolved into formula racing, and Formula One can be seen as its direct descendant. Each event of the Formula One World Championships is still called a Grand Prix; Formula One is referred to as Grand Prix racing. The first motoring contest took place on July 22, 1894 and was organised by a Paris newspaper, Le Petit Journal.
- Formula One (also Formula 1 or F1) is the highest class of single-seater auto racingsanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and owned by the Formula One Group. The FIA Formula One World Championship has been one of the premier forms of racing around the world since its inaugural season in 1950. The 'formula' in the name refers to the set of rules to which all participants' cars must conform. A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix (French for 'grand prizes' or 'great prizes'), which are held worldwide on purpose-built circuits and public roads.The formula is a set of rules that all participants' cars must meet. Formula One was a new formula agreed upon after World War IIduring 1946, with the first non-championship races being held that year. A number of Grand Prix racing organisations had laid out rules for a world championship before the war, but due to the suspension of racing during the conflict, the World Drivers' Championship was not formalised until 1947. The first world championship race was held at Silverstone, United Kingdom in 1950. A championship for constructors followed in 1958. National championships existed in South Africa and the UK in the 1960s and 1970s. Non-championship Formula One events were held for many years, but due to the increasing cost of competition, the last of these occurred in 1983.[8] On 26 November 2017, Formula One unveiled its new logo, following the 2017 season finale in Abu Dhabi during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit. The new logo replaces F1's iconic 'flying one', which was the sport's trademark since 1993.

凧（たこ）A kite is a tethered heavier-than-air craft with wing surfaces that react against the air to create lift and drag. A kite consists of wings, tethers and anchors. Kites were invented in Asia, though their exact origin can only be speculated. Many early sources point to China. In China, materials ideal for kite building were readily available including silk fabric for sail material; fine, high-tensile-strength silk for flying line; and resilient bamboo for a strong, lightweight framework.The kite has been claimed as the invention of the 5th-century BC Chinese philosophers Mozi (also Mo Di, or Mo Ti) and Lu Ban (also Gongshu Ban, or Kungshu Phan). By 549 AD paper kites were certainly being flown, as it was recorded that in that year a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission. After its introduction into India, the kite further evolved into the fighter kite, known as the patang in India, where thousands are flown every year on festivals such as Makar Sankranti.Kites were known throughout Polynesia, as far as New Zealand, with the assumption being that the knowledge diffused from China along with the people. Anthropomorphic kites made from cloth and wood were used in religious ceremonies to send prayers to the gods. Polynesian kite traditions are used by anthropologists get an idea of early "primitive" Asian traditions that are believed to have at one time existed in Asia.Kites were late to arrive in Europe, although windsock-like banners were known and used by the Romans. Stories of kites were first brought to Europe by Marco Polo towards the end of the 13th century, and kites were brought back by sailors from Japan and Malaysia in the 16th and 17th centuries.风筝，亦称风琴、纸鹞、鹞子、纸鸢，闽南语称风吹（白话字：Hong-chhoe）。古代称之为“鹞”，北方谓之“鸢”。风筝是一种比空气重的，能够借助风力在空中漂浮的制品。晚唐，人们在纸鸢上加哨子，其鸣如筝如琴，故称“风筝”或“风琴”。

- The Olympic Order is the highest award of the Olympic Movement and is awarded for particularly distinguished contributions to the Olympic Movement, i.e. recognition of efforts worthy of merit in the cause of sport. It was established in May 1975 by the International Olympic Committee as a successor to the Olympic Certificate. The Olympic Order originally had three grades (gold, silver and bronze). In 1984, at the 87th IOC Session in Sarajevo (Yugoslavia), it was decided that in future there would be no distinction between the silver and bronze order. The gold order would continue to be awarded in exceptional circumstances. Traditionally, the IOC bestows the Olympic Order upon the chief national organiser(s) at the closing ceremony of each respective Olympic Games. The insignia of the Olympic Order is in the form of a collar (or chain), in Gold, Silver or Bronze according to grade; the front of the chain depicts the five rings of the Olympic Movement, flanked on either side by kotinos emblem (olive wreath). A lapel badge, in the form of the five rings in Gold, Silver and Bronze according to grade, is presented to recipients to wear as appropriate.

- Evangelis or Evangelos Zappas (Greek: Ευαγγέλης/Ευάγγελος Ζάππας; Romanian: Evanghelie Zappa, 1800–19 June 1865) was a Greek patriot, philanthropist and businessman who spent most of his life in Romania. He is recognized today as a founder of the modern Olympic Games, who sponsored the Olympic Games of 1859, 1870, 1875, and 1888 and preceded the Olympic Games that came under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee. These Games, known at the time simply as Olympics, came before the founding of the International Olympic Committee. The legacy of Evangelis Zappas, as well as the legacy of his cousin Konstantinos Zappas, was also used to fund the Olympic Games of 1896.During his youth, Zappas joined the Greek War of Independence (1821–1832), achieving the rank of Major and fighting in several significant battles. Following Greek independence, he moved to Wallachiawhere he had a successful career as a businessman, becoming one of the richest men of that time in Eastern Europe. Aside from being the only major sponsor of the Olympic revival at that time, Zappas's philanthropy also included contributions toward the foundation of several Greek institutions and schools as well as sports and exhibition facilities.
- Winter olympics
- history
- A predecessor, the Nordic Games, were organised by General Viktor Gustaf Balck in Stockholm, Sweden in 1901 and were held again in 1903 and 1905 and then every fourth year thereafter until 1926. Balck was a charter member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and a close friend of Olympic Games founder Pierre de Coubertin. He attempted to have winter sports, specifically figure skating, added to the Olympic programme but was unsuccessful until the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom.[30] Four figure skating events were contested, at which Ulrich Salchow (10-time world champion) and Madge Syers won the individual titles. Three years later, Italian count Eugenio Brunetta d'Usseaux proposed that the IOC stage a week of winter sports included as part of the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. The organisers opposed this idea because they desired to protect the integrity of the Nordic Games and were concerned about a lack of facilities for winter sports. The idea was resurrected for the 1916 Games, which were to be held in Berlin, Germany. A winter sports week with speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey and Nordic skiing was planned, but the 1916 Olympics was cancelled after the outbreak of World War I. The first Olympics after the war, the 1920 Summer Olympics, were held in Antwerp, Belgium, and featured figure skating and an ice hockey tournament.[34] Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey were banned from competing in the Games. At the IOC Congress held the following year it was decided that the host nation of the 1924 Summer Olympics, France, would host a separate "International Winter Sports Week" under the patronage of the IOC. Chamonix was chosen to host this "week" (actually 11 days) of events. The Games proved to be a success when more than 250 athletes from 16 nations competed in 16 events.[36] Athletes from Finland and Norway won 28 medals, more than the rest of the participating nations combined.[37] Germany remained banned until 1925, and instead hosted a series of games called Deutsche Kampfspiele, starting with the Winter edition of 1922 (which predated the first Winter Olympics). In 1925 the IOC decided to create a separate Olympic Winter Games and the 1924 Games in Chamonix was retroactively designated as the first Winter Olympics.

Hostingsnow sports competitions during the Beijing Winter Games will add something extra to the city'ssocio-economic development amid the joint development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economiczone. There are numerous business opportunities for Hong Kong-based enterprises toparticipate in the shaping of another regional growth engine on the mainland and hopefullyefforts to extend the development drive toward the country's northwest. To host a successful Winter Olympics Beijing and Zhangjiakou need to undertake manyinfrastructure projects, including sports venues and related facilities such as athlete village,hotels, roads and all the necessary utilities. It will give Zhangjiakou's urban development a majorboost as well. Given the high international standards required of these facilities, Hong Kongbusinesses will be in an advantageous position to bid for construction projects as well as themanagement of such facilities after they are completed. The SAR government is encouraged to start organizing business trips to the Winter Games hostcities for Hong Kong-based enterprises interested in finding business opportunities in northernChina. Beijing will be the first city in the world to host both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Ihope Hong Kong, particularly the business community and young people, will seize thisopportunity and make the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games a great success. The author is president of Hong Kong Commercial & Industry Association.

- Hurling (Irish: iománaíocht, iomáint) is an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic and Irish origin and is the fastest field sport in the world[citation needed]. It is administered by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). The game has prehistoric origins, and has been played for 3,000 years.
- Hockey is a sport in which two teams play against each other by trying to maneuver a ball or a puck into the opponent's goal using a hockey stick. There are many types of hockey such as bandy, field hockey and ice hockey. The first recorded use of the word hockey is in the 1773 book Juvenile Sports and Pastimes, to Which Are Prefixed, Memoirs of the Author: Including a New Mode of Infant Educationby Richard Johnson (Pseud. Master Michel Angelo), whose chapter XI was titled "New Improvements on the Game of Hockey".[2] The belief that hockey was mentioned in a 1363 proclamation by King Edward III of England is based on modern translations of the proclamation, which was originally in Latin and explicitly forbade the games "Pilam Manualem, Pedivam, & Bacularem: & ad Canibucam & Gallorum Pugnam". The English historian and biographer John Strype did not use the word "hockey" when he translated the proclamation in 1720. The word hockey itself is of unknown origin. One supposition is that it is a derivative of hoquet, a Middle French word for a shepherd's stave.[3] The curved, or "hooked" ends of the sticks used for hockey would indeed have resembled these staves. Another supposition derives from the known use of cork bungs, (stoppers) in place of wooden balls to play the game. The stoppers came from barrels containing "hock" ale, also called "hocky".
A lawn game is an outdoor game that can be played on a lawn.[1] Many types and variations of lawn games exist, which includes games that use balls and the throwing of objects as their primary means of gameplay. Some lawn games are historical in nature, having been devised and played in different forms for centuries. Some lawn games are traditionally played on a pitch (sports field). Some companies produce and market lawn games for home use in a front or backyard.
- Kubb (pronounced [kɵbː] in Swedish or [kubː] in Gutnish) is a lawn game where the objective is to knock over wooden blocks (kubbs) by throwing wooden batons (kastpinnar) at them. Kubb can be described as a combination of bowling and horseshoes. Play takes place on a small rectangular playing field, known as a "pitch". "Kubbs" are placed at both ends of the pitch, and the "king", a larger wooden block, is placed in the middle of the pitch. Some rules vary from country to country and from region to region, but the ultimate objective of the game is to knock over the "kubbs" on the opposing side of the pitch, and then to knock over the "king", before the opponent does. Games can last from five minutes to well over an hour. The game can be played on a variety of surfaces such as grass, sand, concrete, snow, or even ice. The alleged Viking origin of the game has led some players and kubb fans to nickname the game “Viking chess”.

It may be an ancestor of cricket (a game it resembles), baseball, and rounders, in fact stoolball is sometimes called "Cricket in the air". Traditionally it was played by milkmaids who used their milking stools as a "wicket". The game's popularity has faded since the 1960s, but is still played at a local league level in Sussex, Kent, Surrey and the Midlands. The National Stoolball Association was formed in 1979 to promote and expand stoolball.[1] The game was officially recognised as a sport by the Sports Council in early 2008.[2] The National Stoolball Association changed its name to Stoolball England in 2010 on the advice of the Sports Council and was recognised as the National Governing Body for stoolball in England in 2011. Some variants are still played in some schools. Teams can be ladies only or mixed. There are ladies' leagues in Sussex, Surrey and Kent and mixed leagues in Sussex.
