sport
Entertainment and recreation imply thought and mental occupation, tho in an agreeable, refreshing way; they are therefore words of a high order. Entertainment, apart from its special senses of a public performance or a social party, and predominantly even there, is used of somewhat mirthful mental delight; recreation may, and usually does, combine the mental with the physical. Amusement and pastime are nearly equivalent, the latter probably the lighter word; many slight things may be pastimes which we should hardly dignify by the name of amusements. Sports are almost wholly on the physical plane, tho involving a certain grade of mental action; fox-hunting, horse-racing, and baseball are sports. Certain sports may afford entertainment or recreation to certain persons, according to their individual tastes; but entertainment and recreation are capable of a meaning so high as never to be approached by any meaning of sport. Cheer may be very quiet, as the cheer of a bright fire to an aged traveler; merriment is with liveliness and laughter; fun and frolic are apt to be boisterous. Amusement is a form of enjoyment, but enjoyment may be too keen to be called amusement. Compare synonyms for ENTERTAIN.

The California-born Pruett:
Daytona is a magical place for me and I love it, i’ve always said the Rolex 24 at Daytona is like the Super Bowl of Motorsports because you’re bringing the best of the best from all over the world and the challenge of both man and machine is fierce. What better way to say goodbye to the sport I love than at this revered place, surrounded by my respected peers and die-hard fans.

Jamal Khashoggi:
I really feel like golf is a force of good in the world – I just try to be a great role model to kids. We are not politicians. I know you guys hate that expression, but we are really not, unfortunately. We are professional golfers, if Saudi Arabia wanted to use the game of golf as a way for them to get to where they want to be and they have the resources to accelerate that experience, I think we are proud to help them on that journey using the game of golf and the abilities that we have to help grow the sport and take them to where they want to be.

Will Claye:
My first Olympics in 2012, I walked and I was able to meet and take pictures with some of my idols in sport, some of the athletes that I look up to like Kobe( Bryant), LeBron( James) and actually being able to spend time with these people while we were preparing to do Opening Ceremonies, and those are the memories that last a lifetime… For someone who this may be their first Olympics, it’s a once in a lifetime thing. You never know if you’ll be able to get back to that stage.Traditional Tongan dress If this was an opening ceremony like no other, one thing remained unchanged compared to past Olympics : Pita Taufatofua made a return.Taufatofua first caught the attention of Olympic Stadium spectators in Rio five years ago when he appeared wearing traditional Tongan dress and covered in oil. Pita Taufatofua then repeated the act at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics two years later. Pita Taufatofua leads out Team Tonga during the opening ceremony. {.

Nick Kyrgios:
It’s so stressful now because every match I play, I’m kind of expecting to play so good, such a clean performance is not realistic in a sport like this where you’re playing day in, day out.
