Sports in the Chlouvānem Inquisition are commonly divided into "traditional", "local", and "Western", even though there are not many practical difference in how they are handled or in their popularity - there are, for example, some "Western sports" where Chlouvānem athletes have been particularly successful. Traditional sports are typically those that have been practiced in the Inquisition for centuries and have also a substantial "ritual" component that is lacking or, at least, much lower in sports considered "Western". Motorsport and cycling are considered "traditional" as they were born in the Inquisition mostly independently from the Western world, and thus often have different rule sets (despite some recent international agreements, especially in cycling, that have reduced the differences).<br/> | Sports in the Chlouvānem Inquisition are commonly divided into "traditional", "local", and "Western", even though there are not many practical difference in how they are handled or in their popularity - there are, for example, some "Western sports" where Chlouvānem athletes have been particularly successful.

Traditional and local sports, while often more popular than all Western sports (except for ''tēyakaitsūh'') in the Inquisition, are barely even known abroad except for some countries of the former Kaiṣamā or in Greater Skyrdagor.<br/> | ||
Most team sports practiced in the Inquisition do not have distinct categories for male- and female-bodied athletes, with the notable exceptions of cycling and Western sports that follow rules specified by international sanctioning committees (the result of this all being that e.g. there are two ''tēyakaitsūh'' championships, but only one for ''yalkhaitah''). Fighting sports like ''lairhiṃħa'' and ''ryāšvāṇa'', however, do have distinct categories. | Most team sports practiced in the Inquisition do not have distinct categories for male- and female-bodied athletes, with the notable exceptions of cycling and Western sports that follow rules specified by international sanctioning committees (the result of this all being that e.g. there are two ''tēyakaitsūh'' championships, but only one for ''yalkhaitah'').
