| | Sports in Middle-earth |
 | | Of all the races in Middle-earth, Men are most prone to spectator sport, for Dwarves are too secretive, and the Elf fan base keeps dwindling over the sea to the West. |
 | | Though for the most part not technically residents of Middle-earth, among the Valar dwell the Lord of Sport himself, Tulkas, who has no peer as a wrestler, and his wife Nessa, who can flat out beat the pants off any Man, Elf, or Dwarf in a foot race. |
 | | But let's say your party experiences excellent weather and arrives at the Cape of Forochel in good shape, and the Lossoth are convinced that you are not a war party sent to punish them by the Witch-king, and you just happen to go at a time when they engage in their winter sports. |
