Popular sports in Poland?

Hello guys
What are the sports do people like to play in Poland?
Do people love cricket.

football,basketball,voleyball,ice hockey,ski jumping and recently racing and tennis.we hate cricket.it's to complicated and boring

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.

it is a fantastic sport and only called "boring" by those who don't understand the (actually quite simple) rules...
which is almost everybody outside the commonwealth... :D or you could say the majority of people on the planet...

nothing exciting about it.

hand ball.

This is super GAME and I am missing this in Poland, I would like to play in Poland, but never manage to find out about any club, If someone knows please let me know.

they may be hiding.if someone was bored to death when watching a game these clubs would go bankrupct after paying compensation...

i'm guessing these clubs are "amature" at best.

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?

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.

Thanks again z_darius! :)

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.

Super Aga Radwańska !! She has just defeated Alizée Cornet (Roland Garros, French Open). She will play Jankovic or Cibulkova in the 1/8... :D
