Too complicated and boring, hehehe, I agree. Volleyball is played by men to a high level here. It's very much viewed as a female sport in the UK. Racing of course with that young 18 year old girl and Kubica. Tennis, yeah, there are quite a few courts here.

Popular for regular folk to play? Rock Climbing is pretty popular, skiing, football, basketball. Pro Sports would have to be Volleyball, Football and Motorcycle Speedway is pretty popular as well. Personally I think polish just like certain sports when they are doing well, otherwise they really don't care that much. There are always exceptions, but generally that seems to be the way things go here. One of the more out there leagues is a Amateur American Football League.

I think, that a polish popular sports are ski jumping,swimming,volleyball, football and mountain climbing (ie. K2 and Mount Everest). Ski jumping are popular polish sport from Adam Malysz triumph.A new polish ski jumpers are Robert Mateja,Wojciech Skupien, Tomislaw Tajner and Mateusz Rutkowski. Ski jumping today are most famous polish sport. Polish woman volleyball team is a very popular in this season.They will a polish representation in Pekin Olympic Games.

Does anybody class horse riding as a sport in Poland?

z_dariusThreads: 22 Posts: 5,091 Joined: Oct 18, 07	May 26, 08, 09:51 / #
Yes, they do. It's an official sport in Poland and it's called Jazda Konna or Jeździectwo. It's also a part of a bunch of other combined sports such as modern pentathlon.

I very rarely watch a horse riding on TV, but this sport is very interesting.

I think that cycling, sailing and canoeing is also quite popular in Poland.

time means: bear wrestling. LOL. A cursory use of Google would reveal that it is football (or soccer if the OP is American). I guesss this to watch but probably is to play as well. What sort of school do you go to if you get expelled for being late with homework? Must be a 23rd offence..
