  International sports enjoy considerable popularity in modern Bhutan. Besides archery, many people in Bhutan play basketball. Other sports include Association Football and futsal, an indoor variation of football. Cricket has gained popularity in Bhutan, particularly since the introduction of television channels from India.
context_section_description: Digor is a game resembling shot put, horseshoes, and pétanque. It is played with a pair of spherical flat stones that are hurled at two targets (pegs) fixed in the ground about 20 metres (66 ft) apart. It can be played one-on-one or in teams of up to seven players. Digor is played all over Bhutan, though most often by men in rural areas.
