Major Sports That Start With The Letter T
1. Table Tennis
This game is also known as ping pong and sometimes whiff whaff in some regions. This is a game that requires two players or on a more complicated level, four players with two on both sides of a table tennis board. They have to hit the ball back and forth on a board with the help of small tennis pads. The tennis balls are lightweight balls so they are being carried easily by the small rackets used to hit them. The game is played on a hard table that is divided into two courts by a net.
Firstly, the player whose turn it is to start the match has to make a service where the player on the other side has to let the ball bounce on his or her side of the court once before hitting the ball back to the opponent’s court. Just the way it bounced once on the first player’s court, it has to bounce once on the other side of the court too before playing but back to your court, and then it goes back and forth like that increasing pace until a player either hits the ball too hard that it goes outside the board without bouncing or plays the ball goo low that it hits the net instead of going to the other side.
2. Taekwondo
This is known as the Korean form of Martial arts mainly filled with different techniques of hitting the next man. For example, punching, kicking, and other extra skills are added to make it a little more interesting. Some enticing skills are the ones that involve head-height kicks, jumping spinning kicks, and fast kicking. When translating the word Taekwondo to English, it spells out kicking, punching, and the art or way of.
This is the kind of Martial arts where one is allowed to defend and attack using his or her hands and feet without the help of any extra weapon. There is no space for using weapons when taekwondo is involved. There are other martial arts where people are allowed to use sticks, swords, and other things. The whole physical training that people undergo for Taekwondo would have a purpose and would be able to channel the strength of the man through his or her mental strength.
3. Tennis
Tennis is a sport played using a racket, it can be played between two people with two people on each side of the court with a net crossing them. There can also be two players on both sides playing the ball back and forth to each other. Every player on the court at every given point in time has a racket on hand using it to hit a hollow rubber ball, mostly green across the net to the other side of the court in an uncomfortable area for the opponent to try and win the game. The main aim of the game is for one player to hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to receive and return the ball even if he or she tried.
After maneuvering your opponent and making him unable to return the ball, you get a point and rob the opponent of a point. It is a sport played in the Olympics by pros at all levels of society and every age group. The sport is very easy, anyone can play, even those using wheelchairs can play this game as long as he or she can hold the racket to play.
4. Triathlon
The triathlon is the last major sport on this list, it is a sport that involves endurance while going through different sports. It is a Multisport race that has swimming, cycling, and running as part of the whole thing. Triathletes compete to become the tastes person to finish before the other opponents. They have a lot of pressure because they are not just focused on one sport. They have to be good in all three aspects because whoever wins the first two sports doesn’t matter, the first man to cross the finish line is the main guy. That is, for instance, when triathletes go to competition, swimming might come first before cycling and running. It doesn’t matter if a player finishes swimming and cycling first, you just have to make it past the finish line first after the last stage before you are given the trophy.
