Sport in Tenerife (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. On the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, a large number of sports are practiced, both outdoors and indoors in the various facilities available throughout the island. Canarian wrestling is practiced on the island, and may be compared to other forms of western African wrestling such as Senegalese wrestling. The fight takes place in a circle, usually on sand, and the two fighters face each other and wrestle until one is felled. In Tenerife there are 26 fighters on the island. The island has numerous teams including two German women's wrestling teams and a league organized by the island institutions, federations and clubs with 24 schools participating in wrestling.
