Wrestling : a multicultural sport.
.
Wrestling is a sport discipline and a fight sport. There are a very large number of varieties but
one can distinguish three main: the Free Fight (LL), the Greco-Roman Struggle
(GR) and the Feminine Struggle (LF).
During the Olympic
Games, the appearance of the Struggle in Athens in 1896 was so important from a
historical point of view that it became the central element of the Games. The
Olympics makes it global because practiced by many countries today, there are hundreds
of different styles of wrestling all over the world. And many countries have
local styles, such as the Glíma style in Iceland or the Senegalese struggle,
etc. Wrestling is therefore a global and multicultural culture.
Moreover, I think that
in this case it is a culture of appropriation because the different countries
have created their own rules of control.
I chose wrestling because it represents an ancestral sport practised at the beginning by the
first Greek and Roman civilization and which still today continues to be
practiced all over the world.
The fight is a
multicultural international sport that can allow us in the classroom to better
understand the culture of different countries.
I'm agree with this post.
ReplyDeleteBecause wrestling is a world sport that has been created between two countries and now is a sport used all over the world. This shows that this sport is part of the global culture. In addition to this we see that wrestling is a world sport because we see this sport at the Olympic Games with players that are found all over the world.
I think this post can be added to our class conversation because as Clement was able to say if we talk about it in progress it would allow us to know a little more about the culture of sport in different countries and realize that each country has these own rules and practice this sport in different ways.
