What is the national sport of each country?

The national sport is the sport that a country has chosen, either by law or de facto, to be the national sport of its people. Most countries have a national sport. China's national sport is table tennis, which originated in England at the end of the 19th century, because in the 1959 World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese athletes won the first world championship for China, which made the people of China excited, and from then on, table tennis was popular in China, and became the de facto national sport of China.
