You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sport in Saint Petersburg''' has a long tradition, back to the founding days of [[Saint Petersburg]] in the early 18th century.
[[File:Estadio zenith san petesburgo.JPG|thumb|left|250px|[[FC Zenit Saint Petersburg|FC Zenit]]'s home [[Petrovsky stadium]]]]

==International sports events held in Saint Petersburg==
St. Petersburg hosted part of the [[football (soccer)]] tournament during the 1980 [[Summer Olympics]]. The [[1994 Goodwill Games]] were held here.
It bid for [[2004 Summer Olympics]] and might bid again for [[2032 Summer Olympics]] if Russia's ban on state-sponsored doping would end before host decision.

==History==
The first competition here was the 1703 [[Rowing (sport)|rowing]] event initiated by [[Peter the Great]], after the victory over the [[Swedish Navy|Swedish fleet]]. [[Yachting]] events were held by the Russian Navy since the foundation of the city. [[Yacht clubs]]:<ref>[http://www.encspb.ru/en/article.php?kod=2804016491 History of Yacht Clubs in Russia]</ref> [[St. Petersburg River Yacht Club]], [[Neva Yacht Club]], the latter is the oldest yacht club in the world. In the winter, when the sea and lake surfaces are frozen and yachts and dinghies cannot be used, local people sail on [[ice boat]]s.

==Sports==

===Bandy===
A sport with long history in Russia is [[bandy]], and this was played on the frozen [[Neva River]] in the 19th century. The Saint Petersburg team Yusupov Sad («Юсупов Сад») toured Germany, Sweden and Finland in 1907 under the name ''Sankt Petersburger Amateur Eislaufverein'' and won most of its games. Bandy was also played during the Soviet years, with [[Dynamo Leningrad (bandy club)|Dynamo Leningrad]] becoming the runner-up for the [[Russian Cup (bandy)|Soviet Cup]] in 1947 and [[Lenin IVF Leningrad]] being the runner-up for the [[List of Russian bandy champions|Soviet Union Championship]] in 1952. However, Saint Petersburg has not had an elite team in this sport since [[BSK Saint Petersburg]] had to cease its operations in 2005.

===Basketball===
*[[Piterbasket]], a team sport closely resembling basketball, created in 2002 at Saint Petersburg.<ref>[http://www.trikrepsis.iicentras.com/trikrepsio-istorija Trikrepšio istorija]</ref>

===Chess===
[[Chess]] tradition was highlighted by the 1914 international tournament, in which the title "Grandmaster" was first formally conferred by [[Russian Tsar Nicholas II]] to five players: [[Emanuel Lasker|Lasker]], [[José Raúl Capablanca|Capablanca]], [[Alexander Alekhine|Alekhine]], [[Siegbert Tarrasch|Tarrasch]] and [[Frank Marshall (chess player)|Marshall]], and which the Tsar had partially funded.

===Equestrian===
[[Equestrianism]] has been a long tradition, popular among the Tsars and aristocracy, as well as part of the military training. Several historic sports arenas were built for Equestrianism since the 18th century, to maintain training all year round, such as the [[Winter Stadium in St. Petersburg|Zimny Stadion]] and [[Konnogvardeisky Manezh]] among others.

===Powerboating===
One of the first international major sport event held in Saint Petersbourg is Formula 1 powerboating also called [[F1H2O]]. The first edition of the World Championship F1H2O Grand Prix of Russia was held in 1995. Since then the event took place again in 1996 1997 1998 1999 2008 2009 2010.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.f1h2o.com/calendar/1998|title = F1H2O UIM World Championship))</ref> The event used to take place in front of [[Hermitage Museum]]<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.f1h2o.com/gallery/2009/grand-prix-of-russia-race-1#group-75|title = F1H2O UIM World Championship))</ref>

==Sports venues==
[[Kirov Stadium]] (now demolished) was one of the largest stadiums anywhere in the world, and the home to [[FC Zenit St. Petersburg]] in 1950&ndash;1989 and 1992. In 1951 the attendance of 110,000 set the record for the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] football. Zenit now plays their home games at [[Krestovsky Stadium]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.stadiumguide.com/zenitnew/|title = Gazprom Arena (Saint Petersburg Stadium) - Zenit - the Stadium Guide))</ref>
