Regardless of his religion he was amazing...

On the field he was named the "Wizard of Hockey" for he exerted complete control on the ball. It appeared that the ball used to stick to his hockey stick while playing. So great was the magic of Dhyan Chand that the Tokyo officials broke his hockey stick to search for a magnet inside, and tried to console themselves saying he had added some sort of glue. On one occasion, a lady from the audience asked Dhyan Chand to play with her walking stick instead. He scored goals even with them!

Yes of casue they were.

Guru Angad Dev Ji, Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Guru Hargobind Singh Ji were experts in wrestling. Also many of our Guru Ji were masters in the use of Shaster.

Nearly forgot they were also experts in horse riding and hunting.
