HISTORY Although the sport is probably much older, the first proof of ice stock sport being practised stems from a 16th Century painting by Dutch painter Pieter Breughel . It would take until the 1930s before the sport became organized. A German federation was established in 1934, and German championships were established two years later. European Championships were first held in 1951, and World Championships were first held in 1983, after the International Federation Ice Stock Sport (IFE) had been established. DISCIPLINES There are several disciplines in ice stock sport, of which only target shooting and distance shooting are constested in international championships. In target shooting, two teams of three players each take turns in aiming for a target, the so-called ''Daube''. Points are gained when the target is hit; additional points are scored when the target is pushed out of the playing field. In distance shooting, the aim is simply to slide away the ice stock as far as possible. EXTERNAL LINK |
