【欧洲·爱尔兰】板棍球 Hurling（2018年）

投掷，或Camogie（女子投掷的一种形式），是一种由两支球队进行的野战游戏，可追溯到2000年前，在爱尔兰神话中有着强烈的特色，最著名的是在史诗般的库伦传奇中。它在爱尔兰全岛播放，尤其是在肥沃的农业地区，以及海外。传统上，游戏中的玩家数量是不受管制的，游戏是在开阔的场地上进行的。如今，成人队有15名球员，比赛在一个有明显标志的场地上进行。球员使用一根木棍（hurley）和一个小球（sliotar），这根木棍类似于曲棍球棍，但一端是平的，目的是用hurley击打sliotar，并将其击中对方球门柱之间。主要的投手和练习者是运动员，他们被称为“投手”（男性）和“卡莫格斯”（女性）。投掷被认为是爱尔兰文化固有的一部分，在促进健康和福祉、包容性和团队精神方面发挥着核心作用。如今，这些技能通过学校和俱乐部的辅导和游戏得到推广和传播。作为投掷运动的管理者，盖尔体育协会和卡莫吉协会都是志愿者领导的组织，在传递与投掷相关的技能和价值观方面发挥着核心作用。

Hurling, or Camogie (a form of Hurling played by women), is a field game played by two teams which dates back 2,000 years and features strongly in Irish mythology, most notably in the epic saga of Cú Chulainn. It is played throughout the island of Ireland, particularly in more fertile agricultural areas, as well as overseas. Traditionally, the number of players in the game was unregulated and games were played across open fields. Nowadays, there are fifteen players on adult teams and the game is played on a clearly marked pitch. Players use a wooden stick (hurley), similar to a hockey stick but with a flat end, and a small ball (sliotar), with the aim being to use the hurley to strike the sliotar and hit it between the opposing team’s goalposts. The primary bearers and practitioners are the players, known as ‘hurlers’ (male) and ‘camógs’ (female). Hurling is considered as an intrinsic part of Irish culture and plays a central role in promoting health and wellbeing, inclusiveness and team spirit. Today, the skills are promoted and transmitted through coaching and games in schools and clubs. As the custodians of Hurling, the Gaelic Athletic Association and the Camogie Association, both volunteer-led organizations, play a central role in transmitting the skills and values associated with Hurling.
