 Conclusion

In Romania, sports like yoga, golf and wushu are practiced

very little, but thanks to the globalization they are
becoming more popular. More and more people started to
practice yoga and wushu in their free time as a way for
them to improve their health instead of going to the gym.

Golfing is another sport that is very popular in other

countries but in Romania only a few people play it. On the
site of the Romanian federation of golf in 2015 only 37
men were on the national rankings. One reason for the low
popularity of golf here is the cost of owning and
maintaining the golf fields.
 At the Olympics, Romania has been participating since 1924 only
missing 2 editions. Our country is ranked 21 on the all-time Summer
Olympic Games medal winners with 306 medals, and second for the
countries who havent hosted the Olympics
The globalization has helped a lot in spreading these sports in
Romania. Because of it many places where you can practice these
sports are opening or you can even learn them by yourself.
Another way that globalization has helped to develop these sport
in our country is international tournaments. Because there are a small
number of people who practice sports like golf and wushu in Romania,
people can now compete with competitors from other countries
Thank you!
