Culture today ...
Sports such as Ultimate, bandy and kabaddi arc becoming popular around the world and not just in the countries where they started.
A All three sports are about speed, agility and thrills and spills, and can be played by both men and women. However, only in Ultimate do both sexes play in the same team and against each other. There are a number of reasons for the popularity of the sports. All three are very exciting and both kabaddi and Ultimate have the advantage of requiring very little in the way of equipment. After all, the only things you need to play Ultimate arc a plastic disc to throw and catch and enough space to run around in.
B In bandy, also known as Russian hockey, the two teams have eleven players each. The game is played on ice and is similar to ice-hockey, although a ground ball is used and not a flat puck. Players try to score by putting the ball into their opponent’s net. They can move the ball using their stick or any part of their body apart from their hand, arm or head. The pace of the game is frenetic and only comes to a stop v/hen the ball leaves the playing area or a foul is committed. The only player that can handle the ball is the goalkeeper, and they are also the only player without a stick.
C Ultimate is played by two teams of seven and the aim of the game is to score by getting the disc into the ‘end zone’. This is done by throwing the disc to your own players, while the other team try to intercept it. Ultimate is a non-contact sport, so players must not touch each other. When a player touches an opponent it is a foul. On the other hand, kabaddi is quite a physical sport. Again, teams arc made up of seven players and the aim of the game is to tag opponents. A team sends a player, called a raider, into the other teamtasks half. This player holds their breath and must try to get back to their own half before breathing again!
D The three sports all clearly have national origins. Ultimate was first played in universities in the USA in the 1960s. Bandy has been played in Russia since the early 18tasktask century and is often regarded as the national sport. Theretasks even a story about Peter the Great playing the game on the frozen Neva River. Kabaddi originated in India and the name is actually a combination of two Indian words - kai meaning ‘handtask, and paid meaning taskcatchtask. Nowadays, all three are played in many countries around the world, with international competitions taking place almost every year.
