RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.+)\.htm$ /query.php?q=$1

But note this isn't good.. since say if you got a regular page
/index.htm then it will be rewritten into /query.php?q=index so what you
better do is having a prefix of a 'virtual' directory, like was
suggested before 'sport'... and make it like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/sport/(.+)\.htm$ /query.php?q=$1
