Question

In which sport is the term "penalty stroke" used?

Hint:

This term relates to a direct one on one shot taken from 6.4 metres against the goalkeeper.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Hockey.
A penalty stroke in hockey is awarded when a defending player commits a foul inside the shooting circle that stops a probable goal.
It is also given when a goalkeeper commits an intentional foul against an attacker with a clear scoring chance.
During a penalty stroke, one attacking player takes a direct shot at the goal from a spot 6.4 metres away, facing only the goalkeeper.
This rule gives the attacking team a fair one on one chance to score after being denied a likely goal.
The term is specific to field hockey and is different from a penalty corner, which is a separate type of set play.
