About this sport:
保齡球的起源也許可以追溯到公元前5200年的古埃及,人們?cè)谀抢锇l(fā)現(xiàn)了類(lèi)似現(xiàn)代保齡球運(yùn)動(dòng)的大理石球和瓶。在13世紀(jì)的德國(guó)教會(huì)里,流行著一種“九柱球”的游戲,來(lái)檢驗(yàn)教徒對(duì)宗教的信仰程度。直到宗教革命之后,馬丁路德統(tǒng)一了九瓶制,成為現(xiàn)代保齡球運(yùn)動(dòng)的真正起源。如今,保齡球已經(jīng)成為現(xiàn)代社會(huì)中的一項(xiàng)時(shí)尚運(yùn)動(dòng),流行于歐、美、大洋洲和亞洲一些國(guó)家。 保齡球,英文名是bowling,又稱地滾球,它是在木板道上滾球擊柱的一種室內(nèi)運(yùn)動(dòng)。
