Rodeo - Rodeo (English spelling)

Japanese: ロデオ - ろでお(英語表記)rodeo
Rodeo - Rodeo (English spelling)

A sport in which riders ride wild horses and wrestle and ride rampaging cattle. It originated as a contest between cowboys in the American West, and later came to be held as a spectacle with an admission fee. Rodeo is a Spanish word meaning "to go around" or "to wander around". It was introduced to America and came to mean cowboys riding horses to check on and count livestock, and eventually came to mean a sport. The first rodeo as a spectacle was held in Denver, Colorado in 1887. In 1936, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association was formed for the purpose of holding rodeo shows, and the rules were standardized and various ideas were added, and shows began to be held in various places. It is held in Canada and Australia as well as in the United States. After World War II, it became popular as a sport among students and the general public.

Japanese:

野生のウマを乗りこなしたり、暴れウシと格闘したり乗りこなしたりする競技。アメリカ西部のカウボーイたちの腕比べから発生し、のちには入場料をとって見せ物としても行われるようになった。ロデオとはスペイン語の「回る」とか「徘徊(はいかい)する」という意味で、アメリカに伝わって、カウボーイが家畜を見回ったり数えたりするために、ウマを乗り回すことを意味するようになり、やがて競技をさすようになった。見せ物としては、1887年コロラド州のデンバーで行われたのが最初といわれる。1936年、ロデオの興行を目的とするプロのロデオ・カウボーイ協会が結成され、ルールを統一し、いろいろな趣向を加えて各地で興行が行われるようになった。アメリカのほか、カナダやオーストラリアでも行われている。第二次世界大戦後は学生や一般の人々の間でも、スポーツとして盛んに行われるようになった。
