O knihe

Basque rural sports, known as Herri Kirolak in Basque, is the term used for a number of sports competitions rooted in the traditional lifestyles of the Basque people. They are called deporte rural vasco or simply deportes vascos in Spanish and force basque in French. All herri kirolak have their origin in the two main historical occupations, the baserritarra (farmer) and arrantzalea (fisher), with a larger percentage hailing from a rural background. The sociological changes in the Basque Country have led many of these becoming technically obsololete in the 19th and 20th century. Few continue to exist as rural or marine activities connected to everyday life and have become rare but many have managed to transform themselves into popular sports instead, some of which have become extremely popular. Winners receive a Basque beret as a trophy, hence the Basque word for "champion", txapeldun, literally "one who has a beret". Betting, both by the competitors and the audience, is very common and popular at such sporting events.
