Abstract
The former british athlete Sebastian Coe declared on the 12th November that "he wanted to tap into United Kingdom's passion for sports" by presenting the London Olympic bid.
It is indeed undeniable that sports have a significant place in british society. There are at least 36 million people, much more than half of the british population, who workout once a month. On an international scale, Great Britain owns about fifty sport world titles. Great Britain has surely been the place where the passion for sports has been the most popular over the last few decades in Europe. Football and Rugby for instance have deep roots in the british society.
But one may wonder how come this fabulous british passion for sport is undying. In order to answer to this question, it is necessary to examine the framework where this passion for sport grows and spreads out easily in Great Britain.
We can say that Great Britain is the birthplace of many sports in Europe and all over the world. for instance, the English football Association was created in 1863, a few years after the creation of the sport, the Rugby football Union was created in 1871 along with many other associations that were created during the two last centuries in Great Britain. These are symbols of the strong link between the country and its passion for sport.
