Tragnon know many interesting sports, some of them are without any Tragnon acitivity, like animal races. Because they mostly work, they go on sports only special and free days. Most known and most interesting Tragnon sports and sport games are:

Most popular fights are cave lion vs cave bear, cave lion vs group of wild cave goats, Tragnon vs cave lion, and cave lion vs group of large aggresive cave bats. Animals often die, and after that they are cooked and eaten. Injuries are common, but Tragnon didn't die anytime there. One Tragnon can earn piles of gold in bets there.

Running - Tragnon like running, because they must have good condition to be good soldier and miner. They also have very strong lungs for that, and they feel on the top of the mountains just like in mountain valleys, they even don't notice fewer oxygen there. They run everyday, mostly along mountains, sometimes on the mountain ridges, along rivers, and most popular is paved running track around lake Oetes, 200 kilometers long. Normal Tragnon can run this distance after less than 15 hours, without being exhausted. Sometimes, the special running games are held. There, Tragnon must run 300 kilometer long track from Entopea to Ignont, through dangerous mountain ridges and valleys, and another 300 kilometers back. Award is golden trophy medal, with a diamond, awarde by king himself. Not many Tragnons got it, only 25 runners were too strong and skilled, to run this distance. Record time was 49 hours. The current Tragnon king Tyemletos is known for winning this prestigious trophy.

Animal races - Tragnon also take bets on animal running. Animals run on special straight racetracks in mines. Only mountain goats and Doncke's are used for this. There are four types of Animal races, short track(where animals run in separate, straight track 1 km long.), long track(where animals run in separate, round tracks 5 km long), obstacle track(where animals run 1 km long separate racetracks with water, moguls, and fences), and obstacle together track (where all animals race together in one track 1 km long with obstacles). Animal what will reach goal first, will get green wreath(what can be animal's main course). This is inherently associated with hundreds of bets.

Mining games - mining games are interesting Tragnon sport games, where they compete at mining skills. Disciplines are hole digging Tragnon must dig deepest hole after one hour in hard granite, he has only two pickaxes), tunnel digging(almost same as hole digging, only horizontal), rock mining(who will mine more rock from his hole after hour, will win, but it is recommended to mine more golf ores) gold sorting(who sorts more gold ore from his mined rocks after hour, will win). Every participant must compete in all four disciplines. Point count is 1 - 10 per every discipline, and also final count 1 - 15, depending on overall skills. There is money reward.
