Sport in Switzerland (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In Switzerland, most of the people have a regular sport activity and one of four is an active member of a sports club. The most important all-embracing organisations for sports in Switzerland are the Federal Office of Sport, and the Swiss Olympic Committee (Swiss Olympic). Because of its varied landscape and climate, Switzerland offers a large variety of sports to its inhabitants and visitors. While winter sports are enjoyed throughout the country, football and ice hockey remain the most popular sports. Major sport events in Switzerland include the Olympic Games, which were held two times in St. Moritz in Winter 1928 and Winter 1948, and, more recently, the UEFA Euro 2008.
