Historically Football is our number 1 sport in popularity and quality, but for the past decade or so I really agree Volleyball is the sport we're best at.

 

I think they considered the world ranking for team sports only, that's why some results are strange to say the least...

What do you guys think about this map which shows the sports each nation is best at? (detailed results here)

 

 

I always knew that Niger was a volleyball nation, even though they have never even competed at the African Championships (according to Wiki). :d

 

More to the point, this is about team sports. :p And it seems quite wrong. Israel has ice hockey?? Handball in Algeria.... I'd say those are just completely wrong. Sweden should rather have ice hockey.

They took world rankings of team sports.... and only male it seems. Now it makes sense.

 

But still, we have a like a million world titles in male Polo and Roller Hockey, so even worse: they only took "popular" sports.

Even, their list of popular sports is very much a particular one. Netball and Rugby League, but no Water Polo or Futsal ? Meh, that's a very anglo centric map.

Water polo, basketball, handball, fencing, judo

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

      the basic is the same but with different tricks, different strategy etc. it's a mixture of frestyle and Greco because you can't dive for a single leg attack.    I'm surprised to see ~20 wrestlers in each weight. hopefully that doesn't tempt UWW or IOC to try this in major events. as a wrestling fan I find this very unwatchable !

      Where is Piva? Pietrini and Lubian are out all time, when Velasco will be the coach. Antropova will play on OH this summer in NT, so when Egonu come back, they will be play together on the court- probably only on the European Championship.   https://www.volleyball.it/2026/04/28/notizie/argomenti/vnl-femminile/articolo/italia-femminile-ufficializzate-le-liste-delle-atlete-per-la-stagione-2026.html

      Lasting 2 Weeks and including 24 sports    I bet Beach Sepaktakraw(including their favourite Chinlone, Hoop), Water Skiing, Arnis, Floorball, Wushu, Weightlifting, Taekwondo, Underwater Hockey, Boxing and a few martial arts (Kickboxing/Muay Thai etc)   Obstacle Racing also should make the cut.
