The Formula 1 season is about to end, but it was not until yesterday that we actually got confirmation that the South Korea Grand Prix will go ahead as many have been anticipating. The Korean International Circuit announced on October 12 that the track has passed all necessary inspections and that this particular leg will actually happen. Enthusiasts will witness another historical moment in F1 on the 24th of October, when the Korean GP will be held.
The track is located at Jeollanam-do in South Korea’s Sampo District and is comprised of two courses. One is a 5.615 kilometer international race circuit which is actually partly a street circuit. The other is 3.045 kilometer track, which is permanent. The designer of the circuit is Hermann Tilke, who incorporated many traditional Korean design elements. This track can accommodate 130,000 people, with 60,000 fitting in the main grandstand.
This year’s Korean Grand Prix is going to be the first in the country and is definitely something to look forward to!




Jai Alai will not make it to the top of the popular sports list, but it certainly is one of the longest enduring and interesting sports there is. It is sometimes referred to as Basque Pelota, although Jai Alai is technically a variation of the former.
After looking at some of the world’s most popular team sports, let us now highlight the most popular individual sport in the world: tennis. Some people might argue this statement, but statistics will show that tennis is indeed at the top of the list.
Types of Sports Commentators
Watching sporting events will not be the same without sports commentators. We may get irritated now and then with some sports commentators, but they do add something to the experience. Indeed, I have heard many an individual state that he wants to be a sports commentator.
There are two kinds of sports commentators. One is the play-by-play commentator, which is actually an announcer. What he does is basically report what is going on in the game. Important traits of a play-by-play commentator are articulateness and the ability to describe the events in a fast-changing game.
The other kind of sports commentator is the color commentator. A color commentator is different from a play-by-play commentator in that the former needs to be able to provide more than a report. A color commentator is expected to be able to give additional insight and analyze the goings on in the game.
If you are looking at being a sports commentator, you might want to take a closer look at these two types and decide on which one you want to focus on.
