Other than motor sport - are there many other sports that have periods in excess of 45-50 minutes without a stop in play?

The only examples I can think of at present are long distance athletic events (marathons, cycling, triathlons). These also have commercial breaks during the action, and then 'catch-up' when the coverage resumes.
