What kind of sports is the most popular in Russia? This, of course, football! However, not all Russians have the desire and opportunity to engage in professional football, to participate in world-class Championships. Many of the young people prefer to just play ball with friends in the yard when there is free time.
Others show their attention to this sport only because they watch football on TV or go to football matches as spectators.
Despite the fact that football is quite common, Russian teams rarely manage to win world-class competitions. This fact is very disappointing. On the second place among the most popular sport in Russia is hockey. Becoming a professional hockey player is not easy. To achieve this goal, we have to work hard for many years with a professional coach and a close-knit team. Only after that, the hockey player will be able to play well enough.
The popularity of hockey in our country has affected the development of the Continental Hockey League. Now it includes the strongest teams from our country. This sport brings the country sometimes even more victories than football. Our hockey players have repeatedly proved their professionalism in the past. Undoubtedly, they will do so also in the future.
The most popular sport not only in Russia but throughout the world is, of course, football. Statistics are based on how much a person is engaged in sections. So, it is engaged in more than 1.53 million. Man in the football section. But interestingly, in the second place there is volleyball and concedes he is half a percentage point - something in the region of 1.47 million people.. In third place - with a difference of 1% from the second place is basketball. But it is believed those involved professionally. If we consider those who simply chasing the ball in the yard - football will lead to much greater margin. primarily because it is not necessary any special equipment for this sport. For volleyball - Net, Basketball - ring and grabs the ball players and flat surface - the door can be provisionally identified on the ground. More probably, there are statistics on the number of spectators - but I was not interested in her, but I can assume - that football is again in the first place. Other sports (especially hockey, biathlon, figure) will be off-scale ratings only at certain times - hockey and figure at the time of the world championships, biathlon somehow often look in winter. In summer, for some reason, interest in biathlon falls =)
