FAQs

Why are tennis players not grouped with basketball and volleyball players here?

Tennis players use a handheld racket, so they belong under Racket Sports instead.

This subcategory groups athletes who competed in basketball, handball or volleyball, the indoor or court-based team sports scored by putting a ball through a hoop, over a net or into a goal without a bat or stick.
