Description
It was Ernest Hemmingway who said "There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games". Extreme Sports enthusiasts differentiated "sports" from "games" by whether you might be killed doing them. At the other end of the scale, the likes of the World Bridge Federation and the World Chess Federation have long been campaigning for "Mind Sports" to be admitted into the Olympic arena. Suffice it to say that within these pages you will find many questions on sports, games and pastimes, however you may personally define each of those terms.Whether you are ultra-competitive or do quizzes purely for fun, it is always nice to know the correct answer and the broad range of sports and games covered in this book will surely give you plenty of opportunity to show off your knowledge. What's more, the additional nuggets of related trivia provided with the answers will help you to learn something interesting about sports you do not follow closely so that the next time you get a question about that sport, you'll be well armed.You can choose to work your way through each quiz on your own or use it to compete with friends. The 1,000 questions cover all of the major sports from around the world as well as numerous games and pastimes. Quizzing is always fun, and what can be more fun than quizzing about sports and games you love to watch and/or play?
