奇速英语时文阅读:活久见!全球第一届拍气球世界杯完美落幕

更新时间:2021-10-23浏览:评论: 条

你一定没想到,小时候玩的气球也能参加世界杯赛了!全球首届气球世界杯赛在西班牙举行,包括中国在内的32个国家参加了赛事。秘鲁6-2德国夺冠!比赛规则很简单:在一个密闭的玻璃房内,轮流击打气球保证其不落地。

 

 

 

 

Anyone who has ever leaped over a couch to prevent a party balloon from touching the living room floor can now dream of parlaying those skills into a World Cup triumph.

 

Inspired by a series of viral videos and organized by Barcelona soccer player Gerard Pique and internet celebrity Ibai Llanos, the inaugural Balloon World Cup took place in Tarragona on Thursday.

 

Francesco De La Cruz emerged as the first champion after beating German Jan Spiess 6-2 in the final on a 8x8 meter court littered with living room furniture as well as a small car.

 

"I am very, very happy, I thank God that I have been able to achieve this," said the Peruvian teenager.

 

The rules of the game are simple. Players have to hit the balloon in an upward direction and they score points if their opponent fails to prevent it from touching the ground.

 

Teams from 32 countries took part including an American team of Antonio and Diego Arredondo, whose videos of the game they played with their sister, Isabel, at home in Oregon were a huge hit on social media and inspired the tournament.

 

 

"We played the game as kids, and then, during the start of quarantine for Covid, we wanted to play it again," Antonio Arredondo told Reuters.

 

"We started arguing with each other over if it hit the ground or not, so we started taking videos in slow-mo to see if it did, and then finally it got to the point of 'Let's post this video of us on Tik-Tok.'

 

"When I woke up the next morning, it was completely viral, like a million likes, and then after that we just decided to keep playing and played more and more until one of our rounds got the attention of Ibai and Pique."

 

Pique, who won a soccer World Cup with Spain in 2010, was delighted with how the inaugural tournament had gone.

 

"It's been amazing, it's something totally different, sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone and try new things," he said.
