Sokol

Japanese: ソコール
Sokol
A national athletics movement that began in the Czech Republic and spread among the Slavic peoples. Sokol means "hawk" in Czech. In the second half of the 19th century, athletic associations were formed throughout the Czech Republic to promote and teach gymnastics, group dance, fencing, boxing, and outdoor theater. Gradually, Sokol was organized among Slavic peoples other than the Czech Republic, and the Slavic Sokol Federation was formed in 1908, with federations from the Czech Republic, Croatia, Poland, Russia, and other countries joining. After World War II, it was dissolved under the Communist government, and national athletic competitions were called Spartakiads, following the Soviet Union's example. Since 1989, Sokol organizations have been revived in various places.

チェコではじまり,スラブ諸民族のあいだに広まった民族的体育運動。sokolはチェコ語で〈鷹〉の意。民族意識の高揚を目的として19世紀後半にチェコ各地に体育協会がつくられ,体操,集団ダンス,フェンシング,ボクシング,野外演劇などを指導奨励した。次第にチェコ以外のスラブ諸民族のあいだでも組織化され,1908年結成されたスラブ・ソコール連盟にはチェコ,クロアチア,ポーランド,ロシアなど各連盟が加入した。第2次大戦後には共産党政権下で解体され,民族体育大会はソ連にならってスパルタキアードと呼ばれた。1989年以降,ふたたび各地でソコールの組織が復活している。
