  • A Level PE Learner Booklet Name………………………
    A Level PE Learner Booklet Sport and Society Name……………………….. Tutor………………………… School………………………. Sport in Pre-industrial Britain Characteristics of popular recreation: ● Cruel and violent – Sports reflected everyday life. ● Simple/natural – There was a lack of technology. There was no purpose built facilities for the masses as they had little money. ● Occupational – Work often became the basis of play. ● Localised – There was limited transport and communications so sports developed in isolation. ● Wagering – This was a way to go from rags to riches. ● Occasional – There was only free time for recreation on holy days and other annual holidays. ● Limited coding – The majority of people were illiterate so there were few codified rules, no NGB’s and most sports were only played locally. ● Rural – Before the industrial revolution, Britain was agricultural and rural. ● Courtly/popular – There was a two class feudal system – two opposite ends of society (very poor and very rich) and sport reflected this Factors affecting sport in pre-industrial Britain: Education and Literacy The upper class were educated and literate. This meant that rules were written down and could be read and understood. Upper class sports were often complex and sophisticated – such as real tennis. The lower class were uneducated and illiterate. Sports reflected this and were simple with no written rules. Time The lower class had very little free time to play sport due to long working hours as a labourer – ‘seasonal time’. This meant that sports and pastimes were often played on holy days and festivals or in and around the pub. The upper class had more free time to take part in activities and at a time that suited them such as hunting and real tennis.

Alexander Tretiakov of Russia – who has just won his second overall World Cup (after first winning in 2009) – has been the most successful and consistent athlete of the 2018/2019 season. He has notched up four World Cup wins, plus two second-place finishes and two fourth-place finishes. And the 2013 World Champion has enjoyed positive results at Whistler Sliding Center in the past. He won Olympic bronze there in 2010 and has also finished on the podium three times out of his last four World Cup appearances. The Olympic Champion Sungbin Yun (KOR) is also a firm favourite for a World Championship medal. The Korean athlete has finished in the top three at all eight World Cup races this season and has also celebrated two victories. The 2016 World Championship silver medallist has also won the last two World cup races in Whistler. And last but not least, there is the defending World Champion Martins Dukurs of Latvia who has previously won Olympic silver in Whistler along with two of his 51 World Cup race wins. A win for him would spell World Championship title number six. The top three favourites are then followed by a long list of potential candidates for a World Championship medal.

Woods’ first-ever start in Mexico: Woods, winner of a record 18 World Golf Championships in nine different locations, is set to play in his first-ever competitive event in Mexico. Two wins shy of Sam Snead’s all-time PGA TOUR record of 82, Woods is a seven-time winner of the tournament with victories in Spain, England, Ireland and the United States (San Francisco, suburban Atlanta and Miami). 2. Monster field: 28 of the 30 players that qualified for the 2018 TOUR Championship and 27 of the top 30 in the current Official World Golf Ranking are in the WGC-Mexico Championship field. 3. PGA TOUR in Mexico: The WGC-Mexico Championship is one of two current PGA TOUR events in Mexico along with the Mayakoba Golf Classic, which dates back to 2007. Part of the secret to winning at Club de Golf Chapultepec is properly determining the altitude’s role when choosing clubs. The lowest elevation of the Club de Golf Chapultepec is 7,603 feet above sea level and the highest part is at 7,835 feet.
