Sport includes all kinds of competitive physical activity or games which,[1] through casual or organized participation, a minimum of partly aim to use, maintain or improve ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.[2] Sports can bring positive results to one's physical health. many sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with many simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports like racing, many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the competition (a match) is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the opposite. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", during which there's no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to confirm one winner and one loser. variety of contests could also be arranged during a tournament producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games during a regular sports season, followed in some cases by playoffs.

Sport is usually recognised as system of activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the most important major competitions like the Olympic Games admitting only athletic contest this definition,[3] and other organisations like the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports.[2] However, variety of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as authentic sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports: bridge, chess, draughts (checkers), Go and xiangqi,[4][5] and limits the quantity of mind games which might be admitted as sports.[1]

Sport is typically governed by a collection of rules or customs, which serve to confirm fair competition, and permit consistent adjudication of the winner. Winning are often determined by physical events like scoring goals or crossing a line first. It also can be determined by judges who are scoring elements of the sporting performance, including objective or subjective measures like technical performance or artistic impression.

Records of performance are often kept, and for popular sports, this information could also be widely announced or reported in sport news. Sport is additionally a significant source of entertainment for non-participants, with athletics drawing large crowds to sport venues, and reaching wider audiences through broadcasting. Sport betting is in some cases severely regulated, and in some cases is central to the game.
