keilaus
Keilaus is the Finnish term for the sport of bowling. It refers to the activity in which players roll a ball down a lane to knock down pins at the far end. Bowling is typically played indoors on a smooth, oil-coated lane, where oil patterns influence ball motion and control. The game is played in several variants, the most widespread being ten-pin bowling, along with other forms such as five-pin, candlepin, and duckpin bowling in different regions. In Finland, ten-pin bowling is the dominant form in clubs and competitions.
