* ''nijogākonanah'', colloquially just ''nijñah'' — archery, considered the national sport of the Inquisition due to its spread: it is practiced from village fairs to nationwide tournaments and it is one of the most typical activities during sports classes in schools.

** ''nijogākeika'' — archery range

* ''~~lairhimfa~~'' — a typically Chlouvānem fighting sport conceptually not unlike sumō (and Chlouvānem ''ryāšvāṇa''), but played by lighter fighters and with a considerable amount of jumps and less contact - hence the name, literally "air fight". Barely understood and followed abroad, Chlouvānem people are crazy fans of ''~~lairhimfa~~'', with the five major yearly tournaments of top division fighters being regularly among the most attended sports events and watched television broadcasts in the Inquisition.

* ''lairhiṃħa'' — a typically Chlouvānem fighting sport conceptually not unlike sumō (and Chlouvānem ''ryāšvāṇa''), but played by lighter fighters and with a considerable amount of jumps and less contact - hence the name, literally "air fight". Barely understood and followed abroad, Chlouvānem people are crazy fans of ''lairhiṃħa'', with the five major yearly tournaments of top division fighters being regularly among the most attended sports events and watched television broadcasts in the Inquisition.

* ''ryāšvāṇa'' — a fighting sport conceptually the same as ''~~lairhimfa~~'', but more like sumō on Earth, based on a completely different fighting style. It also has a large following, but somewhat less than ''~~lairhimfa~~'' scene. Anyway, the seven yearly ''ryāšvāṇa'' tournaments are scheduled to not be overlapping with ''~~lairhimfa~~'' ones, and they still have a larger following than most other events taking place at the same time.

* ''yalkhaitah'' — a typical ball sport originally from the tropical areas of the Inquisition (basically like [[w:Footvolley|futevôlei]] but with three players for team). It is the most popular team sport in the Chlouvānem Inquisition, played on natural beaches by the sea and rivers as well as artificial fields inland, but is not that popular abroad except for some other countries of the Eastern bloc.

** ''jñilā'' — "stadium" for ''yalkhaitah'' (the name is ultimately taken from a local vernacular, derived from Chl. ''ajñīlāṇa'', collective noun from ''ajñīh'' "fence")
