Dictionary of sport terms. Glossary of sports terms English words on the topic of sports games

Which, to one degree or another, covers sports topics. But when I delved into this topic in more detail, I could not help but notice a wide sports vocabulary field, which is divided into many facets. Just think how much sport has become part of our lives, even if we are not active "physical" lovers of it.

An example from life - you are watching a football broadcast, where the commentator talks about the outcome of the match only on . Naturally, in this case, you will be imbued only with football vocabulary, where time will no longer be translated as time, and goal will not be the target. It's like English with native speakers in ACE, where you are completely immersed in the atmosphere of the English language. And how many other games are there that are also unique in their vocabulary?

Let's take cards, chess, checkers? Combinations that we know in Russian as needless to say, already complex expressions in English. All this made me think about sports topics and study it in more detail, as well as sort it out. I'm not saying that the selection that is already on the site has lost its uniqueness, I just want to structure useful sports vocabulary.

I almost forgot, to be continued…

Good day to all! It's no secret how important sport and a healthy lifestyle play in our lives. This is probably why we are not only fond of sports at the amateur level, but also follow the victories of professional athletes, and some of us are involved in professional sports ourselves.

Also today you will learn how to express your support for your favorite athletes or sports clubs in English. Get your workbook ready and let's get started! This time, the Voice of America radio reporter went to one of the sports sections. There, Martin Lerner decided to talk to a good coach of a group of gymnasts. They discuss the sports data of one of the talented gymnasts, who shows great promise:

Bret:Let's watch some of the men. Let's look at some athletes (men)
Martin:Can we watch the parallel bars? That young man looks really good. — Can we watch the parallel bars? That young man looks really really good
