Sport in Great Britain — Спорт в Великобритании (3)

The British are known to be great sports-lovers, so when they are neither playing, nor watching games, they like to talk about them. Many of the games we play now have come from Britain.
One of the most British games is cricket. It is often played in schools, colleges, universities, and by club teams all over the country. Summer isn’t summer without cricket. To many Englishmen cricket is both a game and the way of life.
But as almost everywhere else in the world, the game, which attracts the greatest attention, is football, or soccer. There are plenty of professional and amateur soccer clubs all over Britain.
International football matches and the Cup Finals take place at Wembley Stadium. Rugby football is also very popular, but it is played mainly by amateurs. Next to football, the chief spectator sport in British life is horseracing. A lot of people are interested in the races and risk money on the horse, which they think, will win. Derby is perhaps the most

famous race-course competition in the whole world.
Britain is also famous for motorcar racing, dog-racing, boat racing, and even races for donkeys. The famous boat racing between the teams of Oxford and Cambridge attracts large crowds of people.
A great number of Englishmen play tennis. Tennis tournaments at Wimbledon are known all over the world.
The British also like to play golf, baseball, hockey, and grass-hockey. Various kinds of athletics, such as running, jumping, swimming, boxing are also popular.
You can sometimes hear that there are no winter sports in England. Of course, in England it’s not always cold enough to ski, skate, or toboggan, but winter is a good season for hunting and fishing.

Спорт в Великобритании (3)

Британцы, как известно, являются большими любителями спорта, и даже когда они не играют, и не наблюдают за игрой, им нравится говорить о спорте. Многие игры, в которые мы теперь играем, родом

из Великобритании.
Одна из многих британских игр — крикет. В него часто играют в школах, колледжах, университетах и клубных командах по всей стране. Лето не лето без крикета. Крикет для многих англичан — и игра, и образ жизни.
Но, как и почти везде в мире, игрой, привлекающей самое большое внимание, является футбол. По всей Великобритании существует много профессиональных и любительских футбольных клубов.
Международные футбольные матчи и финалы кубка проводятся на стадионе Уэмбли. Регби также очень популярен, но в него играют главным образом любители. Наряду с футболом главным спортом для зрителей Британии являются скачки. Многие люди интересуются 1 скачками и делают ставки на лошадей, которые, по их мнению, победят. Дерби, возможно, самые известные в мире соревнования по скачкам.
Великобритания также известна автомобильными гонками, собачьими бегами, лодочными гонками и даже гонками ослов. Знаменитые лодочные гонки между командами Оксфорда и Кембриджа привлекают большие толпы людей.
Огромное число англичан играет в теннис. Теннисные турниры в Уимблдоне известны во всем мире.
Британцам также нравится играть в гольф, бейсбол, хоккей и хоккей на траве.. Различные виды легкой атлетики, такие как бег, прыжки, плавание, бокс также популярны.
Вы можете иногда услышать, что в Англии нет никаких зимних видов спорта. Конечно, в Англии не всегда достаточно холодно, чтобы ездить на лыжах, кататься на коньках или санях, но зима — хорошее время года для охоты и рыбной ловли.
