There are a lot of sport facilities in our country for people. Every city or town can provide opportunities to take up sports. There are many stadiums, sports-grounds, gyms and swimming-pools in our country. In every region center there is at least one ice palace where every person can skate all the year round. And in winter thousands of amateurs attend outdoor skating rinks.

Millions of the Belarusians participate in various sporting activities and even in competitions.
