The dominance of these ingredients led to the world- wide Argentine supremacy in the practice of Polo, this difficult and elegant sport whose origins date back to over 2000 years. Some believe the sport was first played during the T´ang dynasty in China, whilst others are of the opinion that the roots of this sport lies in Persia. However, it’s recognized that Chinese and Persians adopted the game from the Mongols. The essence of the game has not changed in 2000 years, the world "olo" itself derives etymologically from the Tibetan word “pulu” that means willow, since the wood from these trees is used in the manufacture of polo balls in Tibet. The Encyclopedia Britannica considers that “polo a stick-and-ball game played on horseback is the oldest of all equestrian sports”. History of Polo in Argentina Polo was introduced in Argentina by English immigration, on August 30th 1875, the day of Saint Rosa. The owner of the “Estancia Negrete”, David Shennan, gathered a group of friends, mainly Polo fans who were living in Argentina and staged the first Polo match to reach newspapers, three days later the British community daily “The Standard” published a report of the matches and stated that these marked the formal inauguration of Polo in Argentina. The match confronted City versus County. The practice of this sport spread to other “estancias” such as La Caledonia, Las Petacas, Los Ingleses, Santa Inés and Las Rosas, amongst others. Polo was also played in Buenos Aires in the neighborhoods of Flores, Caballito and Belgrano. This is how the clubs were born, and it was thanks to the Hurlingham Club that Polo was first played as an organized sport in 1888. From then on, Argentina witnessed the multiplication of local Polo institutions that gave rise in 1921 to the Argentine Polo Federation. 1 Why Argentina? Argentina is the only country in the world that has teams with a 40 goal handicap, the highest achievable rating in the sport, reaffirming its mastery in the international Polo scene. The Argentina Open Polo Championship, the sport´s most important international competition, is held at the Palermo Polo fields (mecca of international Polo), where a select group of spectators from different parts of the world gather annually to fill the grandstands of field N° 1 to partake in this unique event. On more than one occasion the Palermo grounds were the setting for a match disputed between two 40 goal teams. We expect some of the Argentine players with high performance will display their skill and talent at the Argentine Ambassador Cup in Kyiv 2019. Polo exhibition proposal The Argentine Embassy in Ukraine intends to organize a high-end event called “Argentine Ambassador Polo Exhibition Cup”. Such events take place throughout the whole world. 2 The Embassy is willing to count with the valuable collaboration of sponsors from business and banking sectors, automotive industry, clothing, jewelry and craftsmanship, haute horlogerie to wine and spirits, food and beverages.

The Trophy is solid silver, made in 1912, and carries the engraving “ARGENTINE AMBASSADOR'S CUP 1938”.

The Director of the Moscow Polo club, Russia’s only Polo professional club, Mikhail Rodzyanko , said: “My first equestrian Polo teacher was Hernan Traverso Laclau, whom we invite as a coach for the summer season". "Hernan is the undisputed professional in his field, who taught me a lot in this sport. It is a very interesting experience for me.

The first concern of course is for our families and friends. Protecting their health and limiting the spread of the virus still is our grea- test common obligation. We are all asked to adapt to the current circumstances, follow the restrictions in our sport and the advice for per- sonal distancing where necessary. And we can see that in following official advice we are successfully fighting Covid-19. As a result in more and more countries the strict measures will be eased in the upcoming weeks, a return to limited training slowly is possible. Polo clubs and stables affected from the restric- tions have mastered the special challenges very well. Des- pite the sometimes limiting possibilities, the care for the horses was and is always upheld. And fortunately the good and close cooperation with the authorities has made it possible to quickly implement individual training plans.

  • A National Tradition
    Baseball A National Tradition. by Phyllis McIntosh. “As American as baseball and apple pie” is a phrase Americans use to describe any ultimate symbol of life and culture in the United States. Baseball, long dubbed the national pastime, is such a symbol. It is first and foremost a beloved game played at some level in virtually every American town, on dusty sandlots and in gleaming billion-dollar stadiums. But it is also a cultural phenom- enon that has provided a host of colorful characters and cherished traditions. Most Americans can sing at least a few lines of the song “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Generations of children have collected baseball cards with players’ pictures and statistics, the most valuable of which are now worth several million dollars. More than any other sport, baseball has reflected the best and worst of American society. Today, it also mirrors the nation’s increasing diversity, as countries that have embraced America’s favorite sport now send some of their best players to compete in the “big leagues” in the United States. Baseball is played on a Baseball’s Origins: after hitting a ball with a stick.

  • A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing Through 60 Years of Sports Video Games
    EXHIBITION OVERVIEW A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing through 60 Years of Sports Video Games Exhibition dates: September 14, 2018–March 10, 2019 Location: Museum of the Moving Image, 36-01 35 Ave, Astoria (Queens), NY 11106 Summary: Ever since the first video game, Tennis for Two, debuted at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s public exhibition in 1958, video games have sought to recreate, adapt, and build upon the games Americans most regularly encounter: sports. A Whole Different Ball Game presents a selection of 44 playable sports video games spanning the last six decades, examining the complex relationships between game, sport, media, and culture. The exhibition considers what it means for full-body sports to be transposed to screens and controllers in the service of realism, who is or is not represented in sports video games, the ways broadcast sports and video games reflect one another, and the primacy of statistics in professional sports and sports simulators. Contents: The exhibition is organized in seven sections (see below for details and game list) plus a new video installation, an interactive experience, and a video screening area with bleachers. There are 44 playable games, including hand-held devices, arcade games, console and PC games played on monitors and wall projections. Additional games that are not playable are included for historical context. In addition, there is video content in the exhibition for documentation of game play and comparison to televised sports. Curators: Curator of Digital Media Jason Eppink and John Sharp (Associate Professor in the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons School of Design at The New School).

    GAMES – FOR JUNIOR OR SENIOR HIGH YOUTH GROUPS Active Games Alka-Seltzer Fizz: Divide into two teams. Have one volunteer on each team lie on his/her back with a Dixie cup in their mouth (bottom part in the mouth so that the opening is facing up). Inside the cup are two alka-seltzers. Have each team stand ten feet away from person on the ground with pitchers of water next to the front. On “go,” each team sends one member at a time with a mouthful of water to the feet of the person lying on the ground. They then spit the water out of their mouths, aiming for the cup. Once they’ve spit all the water they have in their mouth, they run to the end of the line where the next person does the same. The first team to get the alka-seltzer to fizz wins. Ankle Balloon Pop: Give everyone a balloon and a piece of string or yarn. Have them blow up the balloon and tie it to their ankle. Then announce that they are to try to stomp out other people's balloons while keeping their own safe. Last person with a blown up balloon wins. Ask The Sage: A good game for younger teens. Ask several volunteers to agree to be "Wise Sages" for the evening. Ask them to dress up (optional) and wait in several different rooms in your facility. The farther apart the Sages are the better. Next, prepare a sheet for each youth that has questions that only a "Sage" would be able to answer.
