BUZOV Apr 2, 2005:
Problem je �to se takve manifestacije, izgleda, vi�e ne odr�avaju na engleskom govornom podru�ju (ionako je 'ubadanje prstena' kontinentalni, a ne oto�ni specijalitet) pa �ete te�ko na�i to �to bi Vi rado... no sretno u traganju !
Non-ProZ.com Apr 2, 2005:
Ja bih rado znala kako tu manifestaciju nazivaju u inozemstvu...bilo bi vjerodostojnije. Molim dodatnu pomoc.

[ Tilting at the ring .... once the sport of nobles ]
When the nobility gave up the sport, the people kept the tradition alive. That is why any self-respecting town has its own tournament of tilting at the ring -an annual event that ensures a wonderful, exiting time for competitors and spectators alike.

Pa i BRITANIJA (uključivo s Olimpijskim igrama):
(po ovom tekstu sudeći, Britanci čak tu igru roglašavaju “Britanskim doprinosom Olimpijskim igrama”, pa su čak i Olimpijadu izmislili prije Coubertina … kaj možemo… ali čak i oni kažu \"tilting-at-the-ring\").

The Games were only national in nature and the events were more those of a British medieval country fair enriched by modern athletic sports disciplines. The original events in Á850 consisted of cricket, Á4-a-side football, high and long jumping, quoits, a hopping race, and a running race.
However, several athletic events were added in the next few years.
The most popular event became tilting-at-the-ring, which was Þrst held in Á858.
The competitors, dressed in medieval costumes, rode horses, and used lances to spear a small ring, suspended from a bar over the course.

The Much Wenlock Olympian Games are important in the history of Olympic revivals because of their inßuence onPierre de Coubertin.
Coubertin knew of BrookesÕ eÝorts and visited the Much Wenlock Olympian Games as a guest of honor in October Á890, and in Á89Á, he donated a gold medal which was given to the winner of tilting-at-the-ring.
