Frisian sport

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frisian sport is the collective term for several sports that are practiced in East Friesland , in the north-western Oldenburger Land and in western Schleswig-Holstein (Dithmarschen and North Friesland). There are:

In the traditional Frisian three-way fight , every Frisian athlete has to compete in special disciplines of these four sports, the standing fight in Klootschießen, pasture pounding and throwing ball throwing. The triathlon is now only held as a competition for young people, which the East Frisian landscape organizes annually on Oll 'May at the Upstalsboom in Aurich . As an official competition, however, the Frisian all- around competition , often referred to as the Frisian pentathlon , has prevailed. The disciplines there are, in addition to Klootschießen, pasture beating and throwing ball throwing, rubber ball street beating and plastic (wood) ball street beating.

While many of the traditional sports in Germany have either disappeared or have merged into unorganized recreational sports, Frisian sport, like shooting , has survived on the one hand as an organized competitive sport with national and international championships and on the other hand as a tradition.

Since a large number of the Frisian sports community also practices the Irish variant of the sport (Irish Road Bowling) and the Dutch variant (Holland ball throwing), these disciplines are also often assigned to the Frisian sport. The frieze sport is to be distinguished from Fries fight , a variant of the modern pentathlon .
