Frisbee

Japanese: フリスビー
Frisbee
A sport in which a plastic disc is thrown. It is said to have started in the 1940s when students at Yale University in the United States threw metal pie-baking plates at each other. In addition to being enjoyed as a recreational sport in parks, where players throw the disc like in a game of catch, there are nine official events held at the World Championships (1974-) and the Japan Championships. For example, distance (a competition of throwing distance), freestyle (skillful control and acting ability), disc golf (a competition of throwing the disc around a course), and ultimate (seven players compete for a goal like in basketball). Note that "Frisbee" is a registered trademark, so the sport is called "flying disc."

プラスチック製の円盤を投げるスポーツ。1940年代に米国のイェール大学の学生がパイ焼き用の金属の皿を投げ合ったのが始まりとされる。レクリエーションとして広場でキャッチボールのように投げ合って楽しむほか,競技としては,世界選手権大会(1974年―)および日本選手権大会で公認競技として行われる9種目がある。たとえば,ディスタンス(投げる距離を競う),フリースタイル(巧みな操作と演技力),ディスク・ゴルフ(投げながらコースを回る),アルテミット(バスケットボールのように,7名でゴールを争う)など。なお〈フリスビー〉は登録商標のため,競技名としては〈フライングディスク〉と呼ばれる。
