Answer: Badminton

Snooker involves potting balls into pockets with a cue; lacrosse is a team sport which involves shooting a ball into the opponent's goal using a stick with a net on the end of it; and squash is a racket sport played in an enclosed court. Badminton uses rackets and a net, somewhat like tennis, but, instead of a ball, it uses a shuttlecock, which is composed of feathers in a cork base.

Answer: Tour Down Under

The Tour de France is the oldest and most prestigious of the three Grand Tours, founded in 1903. The Giro (Tour of Italy) first took place in 1909, and the first Vuelta (Tour of Spain) took place in 1935. The Tour Down Under takes place in Australia, and is a six-day race first held in 1999.

Answer: Three-Day Event

A Test Match is the oldest form of international cricket, with matches lasting up to five days, often without an outright winner! One-Day Internationals were introduced in the early 1970s, with each team bowling a set number of overs (usually 50). Twenty20 is the most modern version, introduced in the early 21st century, with only 20 overs per side, which leads to batsmen playing attacking shots most of the time. Three-Day Eventing is a competition in equestrianism, not cricket.
