While football wins the popularity price, I'd say 1) speed skating 2) cycling and 3) field hockey, for being more uniquely Dutch. Purely personal opinion though.

dcro 10,186 Posted August 8, 2019 #66 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don't like the criteria: sport invented in X -> national sport of x. Football is the main sport here, but I don't like to call it "national sport", because that sounds rather pretentious. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm sure there's plenty of things wrong with it (also it's about the most popular sports in a country instead of the national sport, maybe cricket 'won' in UAE because of all the foreign employees ), but it's mostly about the broad picture: football is just too big to be any one nation's national sport in my opinion If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 3,604 Posted August 8, 2019 #69 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Football over cc skiing in Norway? You're not serious? And if sumo OR judo isn't a national sport in Japan over baseball these guys have no idea what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Baseball is the undisputed top sport in Japan, and is jokingly called Japan's national sport (ironically, Japan actually has no officially recognized national sport—not even sumo or kendo). While most Japanese people would understand the word "baseball," locally it's called yakyu, or puro yakyu when describing the professional league. Even high school baseball is taken very seriously, with the National High School Baseball Championships (or Koshien) a much-watched event every summer.
