Sports thoughts & how they evolved:

curling ...is based on a very simple idea - slide your stone along the ice and get it closer to the target ...

cricket ... involves two teams of eleven players - score more runs or lose less wickets ..

rugby ... is a team sport - fifteen players on one side and fifteen on the other - all at one time running or kicking a oval ball ...

chess ... is a board game for two players - with lots of funny named (wood/plastic/ivory) pieces - object: knock of the queen ..

lawn bowling ... teams of people - roll a larger ball - towards a smaller ball...

table tennis ... much like (big tennis) just with smaller paddles - balls and playing area ...

snow boarding ... needs snow: boards: sticks - sometimes hills: ramps and lots of flags ...

high jump ... athletes attempt to jump over a horizontal bar ... 

shot put ... more athletes - this time trying to throw heavy balls ...

other sports ... TBA
