The bar chart illustrates the proportion of students engaging in four sports – football, basketball, tennis, and swimming – in Country X in 2010 and 2020.
Overall, football remained the most popular sport, although participation decreased slightly, while swimming showed the most significant growth.
In 2010, around 60% of students played football, compared with 40% for basketball, 25% for tennis, and 20% for swimming. By 2020, football dropped to about 50%, while basketball declined slightly to 35%.
In contrast, swimming more than doubled, rising to nearly 45%, overtaking tennis, which increased modestly to 30%. The gap between football and swimming narrowed considerably, reflecting a shift in preferences.
