Sports games

Sports life in the countryside

Since ancient times, peasants have loved to compete in strength, agility, speed and speed. Such competitions were not only entertainment, but also formed an obligatory part of traditional holidays, for example, Maslenitsa festivities. In pre-Petrine times, these were fist and stick fights. Fist fighting was most often carried out in winter on the ice of a river or lake. It existed in three forms — "one-on-one", "wall to wall" and "clutch dump" (each for himself). In the summer, fist fights were replaced by wrestling. In addition, they had fun wrestling, running, horse racing, throwing a spear into a ring, shooting bows at targets. Children and teenagers competed in games. There were many such games: "money", "battles", "catch-up" and so on. An old Russian game, lapta, has survived to our time (in the post-perestroika period in Russia they even organized lapta competitions to contrast this game with overseas baseball).

Siberian Tatars held horse races, competed in running and wrestling on holidays. Children played "tangled horses", "knot", etc. The tradition of holding sports games at festivals and holidays is still preserved.

The peoples of the North also have games in which the physical characteristics of a person developed: the Khanty and Mansi have a game with rings ("kusan yuh"), throwing cones, hide-and-seek ("kanyakh yanteh"), discus throwing; the Nenets have a ball game ("haskova"), "Malenkova" ("blind man’s buff"), "yarkolova" ("deer fishing"), "tybertya" ("reindeer herders"). The games of the peoples of the North bring up respect for their nation in the younger generation, preserve the traditions of their ancestors.

In Soviet times, sport became a part of the life of the villagers. Physical education has always been included in the school curriculum, and sports clubs have appeared in large settlements. The children played football, ran, went hiking, etc. Competitions in various sports (volleyball, kettlebell lifting, mini-football, urban sports, athletics and combined relay) are held with enviable regularity, moreover, they have acquired the character of rural sports Olympiads, for example, regional summer rural sports games.

In the North, among the national types of competitions, the most common are reindeer sledding, throwing a tynzine (lasso), an axe, jumping over a sled, and tug of war. Traditional sports games are preserved at the present time. Competitions are organized on the scale of districts.

Games of the peoples of the North

The life of the indigenous population of Western Siberia is connected with their main occupations — hunting, fishing and reindeer husbandry. The games of the peoples of the North are connected with nature, traditional customs and rituals. They harden the body, develop dexterity, accuracy. Of the national types of competitions, the most common are reindeer sledding, throwing a tynzyan (lariat) on a horse, jumping over a sled, and tug of war.

One of the games is throwing a tynzan on the snow and throwing a tynzin at a distance. The game involves boys aged 6−13, adult men and even the elderly. All participants stand in a line and take turns throwing a noose so that it flies through the air and lands on the snow. The loop should be in the form of a circle, and the rest in the form of a straight line. The winner is the one who does it best.

Physical strength and endurance are developed by jumping over sleds. Several empty sleds are installed parallel to each other at a distance of half a meter. They jump over them with two legs, first one way, then the other way. Good jumpers can jump over several dozen sleds.

The ability to throw an axe is a valuable skill that helped the indigenous people of the North not only to feed themselves, but also to survive in a critical situation. The legend of the origin of this sport says that a reindeer herder, admiring the flight of a flock of swans, began to look around for objects that could fly into the sky like a bird.

And, perhaps, the main sport that is traditionally present in the life of literally all the indigenous peoples of the North is reindeer sledding. In any northern region, no holiday takes place without this spectacular competition.

Russian games

It has long been maintained that games and fun are a human need. Their forms and techniques are developed by themselves, without any scientific basis, but ultimately they develop physical strength, dexterity, the ability to quickly navigate and make appropriate decisions.

In winter, one of his favorite activities was the arrangement of various caves in snowdrifts, rooms with all sorts of simple decorations — tables, benches and other home furnishings, which could be suggested by the imagination of a village boy who had never been to the city, and who had seen nothing of architecture except a village hut and a church.

One favorite activity was riding down snow slides on trays and sleds. In the middle of winter, especially at the beginning of Lent, before Shrovetide, snow slides were arranged in every village. Their surface was watered to form an ice crust. From such a slide, children rode on small sleds, animal skins and other smooth objects. In villages located on the banks of rivers, skiing was carried out from a steep bank. Adult men brought large sleds, on which several people sat down at once and rolled downhill.

When ice formed on a lake or river in late autumn, they rode on their feet: making a small run, they slid by inertia, legs wide apart. At the same time, there were "circles". A long pole was tied to a stake frozen in ice, and a sledge was mounted on it, on which one person sat, and two or three sledges circled by the end of the pole. Here, clubs were played on the ice, chasing a ball across the ice for a certain distance. This game required great skill and dexterity, as it was not easy to drive the ball into the partner’s hole. There was nothing for a bumpkin and a mouth in this game to do.

In the summer, they played knucklebones and bast shoes. Teenagers mostly played "babki", and adults also played bast shoes. The older the players were, the more difficult this game became, because the distance to run during the game was determined up to one hundred meters. The game of bast shoes in the process of its development turned into a kind of competition for prowess, agility and speed in running.
