6. There are many different sports and sporting events for everyone nowadays. We have sports played on ice and snow, in and out of the water, in mountains and deserts. We even have indoor and outdoor sports. But not all these sports existed in the past. For example, in the Ancient Greek Olympics, there were only ten sports. In the modern-day Olympics, there are many more sports like gymnastics, volleyball, and, of course, all the winter sports, which didn’t exist in Ancient Greece. Some people say that some of today’s sports aren’t sports at all, like golf or bowling. The modern world of sports is continually changing and the use of technology has changed the way we play and watch our favorite games. For example, ‘hawk-eye’ is the name of a computer and camera system which follows a ball and is used in international cricket and tennis. Some say that technology can slow down the game, but, on the other hand, spectators and players can be sure that decisions are fair.
