How is sport run in Northern Asia according to the material?

• A. Privately funded and controlled
• B. Mostly state run (unit within government)
• C. Entirely run by international organizations
• D. Community-based volunteer management

Answer: (B)

In Northern Asia, sport is governed through government-led structures, with a unit inside the government directing policy, funding, and development. This centralized model means national teams, facilities, coaching standards, and youth programs are typically administered by state agencies or ministries rather than by private organizations or local volunteer groups. The aim is to align sport with national priorities—such as achieving international competitive success and promoting public health—through centralized control and investment. Because the material describes sport being managed by a government unit, this makes the option that it is mostly state run the best fit.
