Japanese sports
The major spectator sports in Japan that draw large crowds are professional baseball and soccer. Rugby and volleyball are also popular sports.
The national sport of Japan is sumo, mainly a spectator sport watched on television. In the spring and summer, the widely popular national high school baseball tournament takes place at the Koshien stadium. Japan is perhaps the only country where high school baseball creates so much attention. Players that do well at the Koshien are often scouted out for professional and non-professional baseball teams to become future stars lf the sport.
日本最吸引人的觀看比賽主要是職業(yè)棒球賽和足球。橄欖球和排球比賽也很受歡迎。
日本的國技是相撲。人們主要在電視上看比賽。春夏兩季在甲子園舉行高校棒球比賽,人們都很喜歡觀看這場比賽。高中棒球比賽在一個國家受到如此關(guān)注,恐怕也只有日本了。在甲子園發(fā)揮出色的運動員經(jīng)常被挖到職業(yè)或非職業(yè)棒球隊里去,成為明日之星。
