| Synopsis: |
Did you know that the long-ago Olmec Indians may have been the first people to play a form of basketball and handball? In fact, they were the first to ever play with a rubber ball. Ever since these ancient beginnings, Mexicans have loved sports. Their nation is a land of diversity-and the sports Mexicans enjoy are as diverse as the land and the people. But whether Mexicans are playing their favorite game, soccer-which they call futbol-watching a bullfight, or enjoying the fast-paced sport of jai alai, they love to have a good time. In "Sports of Mexico", you will find out more about Mexico's team sports (like soccer and baseball); animal sports (like bullfighting and cockfighting); adventure and water sports (like cliff diving and snorkeling); the country's very own rodeo (called charreria); court sports (like handball and jai alai); and, solo sports (like bicycling, running, and golfing). Discover the courage and achievement of Mexican athletes. Learn more about Mexico's unique games and activities. Enjoy the variety of sports to be experienced in the beautiful land of Mexico. |
