In these days on the continent many historical rivalries are expressed through a healthy spirit of sport, the production of spectacles of global fame that are between the top of any South America holiday experience. Even non-avid sports fans can not be dragged out of the atmosphere and the energy of a major sporting event in Latin America. For those seeking a less strident more elegant sporting spectacle, look the great traditions of pole of Argentina. Polo is an old passion of Argentines Anglophile, and sport attracts some of the best players and best horses in the world. Held every December, the Argentine Open Championship of Polo in Buenos Aires is one of the most important clubs in level of polo events worldwide. Despite elegance, charm of the sport, the game is actually a very demanding, requiring great skills in horseback riding, as well as teamwork in order to lead the wooden ball in the goal of the opposing team with a little flexible, long arms deck.
