4. Do you think the types of sport that are popular will change in the future?
5. How can sports bring people from different countries closer together?
Answer: Depending on what type of sports one plays, there are several
benefits of playing sports. For example, if one plays sports like soccer and
cricket, which require a high degree of physical activities, they will help
one to remain physically fit and healthy by reducing the possibility having
obesity, heart diseases, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
Besides, these sports also help people to get rid of depression and other
mental illnesses. Finally, game, like “chess”, stimulates the brains which
are really good to develop our memories.
Answer: Yes, it is very possible that the types of sports, that are popular
today, would change in the future mainly because we will become even
busier with our works, and our priorities most likely would change with it
as well in the process. So, the chances are that we will probably play only
those sports which require very little time. Besides, the chances are that
those sports (ie. video games and computer games), which we are able to
play at home with our families, will also become popular in the future.
Finally, more and more sponsors and businesses would try to make other
forms of sports popular because of more financial gains.
5. How can sports bring people from different countries closer together?
Answer: Some international sports are more popular than others because
of their long history in our countries as well as because they are more
intricately ingrained into our cultures than other international sports.
Besides, some sports are not just given the chance to truly shine and show
what they are capable of simply because they are perceived to be “not as
exciting as others”. Finally, it is so also because the businesses and
sponsors keep promoting and “patronizing” certain sports over the others
purely because of additional financial gains.

What types of sports are popular in your country?
Well, India is a land of sports and the outdoor sports are mostly preferred in the
country. There are a large number of games and sports are played across the country
including cricket, soccer, badminton, kabaddi, cycling, golf, ice hockey, basketball,
volleyball, table tennis, wrestling, boxing etc. But the country is globally famous for
its top class cricket playing team, Team India. Cricket has occupied the highest
position in the country in comparison with the other games and sports and is played
everywhere of the country. Recently, motorsport has gained much priority in India
and racing are also held on different occasions with the sponsorship of large
corporations or multinational companies. If I talk about indoor games of India,
chess will be at the top position and various chess championship events take place
round the year. For our information, when I was in my college, I was the chess
champion of my department. Though soccer is an important outdoor sport in India,
it could not shine that much in the international arena like cricket did. But whatever
the game or sport is, the participation of the common Indians on the sports as the
audience is spontaneous. Sometimes they wait in long queue for having a ticket of
any international cricket match both in and outside of India to enjoy and inspire the
players. But sometimes they turn violent on losing the matches as they are always on
the view to grab the victory. It is sad that when their dreams shatter, they turn the
worst audience.
Do you think the types of sport that are popular will change in the future?
Ahh, if you ask me individually, then my answer will be that we may experience a
substantial change in the sports and games for the aggressive emergence of virtual
games and sports. Earlier, people used to participate in sports out of the home while
the kids and youths of the current days participate in a wide sort of games and sports
before their computer. Using internet connection they play different games and
sports with each other and sometimes by forming local groups. This may have some
negative impact on the real-life sports and games. Earlier, chess competitions were
held around the year, soccer players were hailed on the playing grounds while the
cricketers were adored for their performances. But in the current days, the number
of such large competitions has reduced to some extent. If you ask the reason, then I’ll
refer it to the availability and accessibility to the virtual options. The kids and youths
of the day are unwilling to participate or be the audience for the events. Since a large
portion of the audience is lost by this way of virtual gaming, multinational
corporations are afraid to sponsor the events lest their advertisements turn into
failures. I’m afraid that an age is appearing where people will be playing or
participating in different games and sports sitting before their computer desk.
How can sports bring people from different countries closer together?
Hmm, it is true that sports can bring nations together. When an international
sporting event takes place in a country, people of different nations crowd to see the
event. When they spend a notable time together, they get familiar with each other
and a sense of friendship is formed among them. It helps to create a social bonding
and sometimes they get connected to the social networks. You are highly familiar
with social networks, aren’t you? So, I think you could get my point. Thus, they come
closer and the relationships are cordial and longer lasting too in some cases. This is
the charisma of sports in uniting people from different corners of the world.
