In terms of allowed physical contact, which is the mist courteous and gentlest of sports?

Response:

In contrast to rough sports, several sports are known for their emphasis on courtesy, gentleness, and respect among participants. Here are a few that highlight these qualities:

1. Curling: Often referred to as “chess on ice,” curling is a sport where players slide stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area. It emphasizes strategy, precision, and sportsmanship.
2. Golf: Known for its etiquette, golf promotes a courteous atmosphere where players respect each other’s space and take turns, with a strong emphasis on honesty and integrity.
3. Tennis: While competitive, tennis players are expected to demonstrate sportsmanship, such as acknowledging good plays by opponents and maintaining a respectful demeanor on and off the court.
4. Badminton: Similar to tennis, badminton is played with an emphasis on respect and sportsmanship, with minimal physical contact and a focus on skill and technique.
5. Table Tennis: This sport also emphasizes precision and technique with little to no physical contact between players, and sportsmanship is highly valued.

These sports prioritize courteous behavior and respect for opponents, making them some of the gentlest in terms of allowed physical contact.
