Report
Basque Pelota is one of those forgotten Gaelic, Celtic or Atlantic Games like Scottish Shinty or Welsh Baseball. It is the Basque people’s version of Handball and would undoubtedly have a similar origin.
ASPE is one governing body for the Professional Game in the Basque Country. The Campeonato Cuatro y Medio (4 1/2 Championship) is a version of the game played on a four-sided court with walls on half the sides (hence 4 1/2). Unlike Handball, a curved glove is used to propel the ball at a very high speed against the walls.
Olaizola II has been the most successful player since the Millennium, winning the title on seven occasions.
