In Bermuda , Football (soccer) and Cricket are the national sports. Cricket in particular now has a two-day (not including the weekend) holiday dedicated to it, called Cup Match. The two days (currently called Emancipation Day and Cup Match) feature a single Cricket match between teams from both ends of the island, a match has essentially been played for over a century. The Island's national Cricket team has also proven itself on the world stage. Bermuda also has the most Golf courses per square mile. Other popular sports include various Equestrian forms including pony-cart racing and dressage,rugby, squash and tennis. Motorsports are gaining in popularity. Bermuda Fitted Dinghy racing - in which a number of small punts outfitted with huge sails and a crew of six race each other and frequently sink - has been declining in popularity over the years. Bermuda is often represented in the Olympics, though it has only won a single medal (in boxing). It also frequently attends other large sports tournaments, though its small size proves to be an obstacle in building up strong sports figures. |
