The Athletic Club Foundation, with Basque rural sports

The grand final of the Sherpa.ai Aizkolari Txapelketa Nagusia will be held on November 21, Sunday, at the Bilbao Arena

The aizkolaritza, perhaps the most popular of the “herri kirolak” (Basque rural sports), is experiencing a second youth thanks to the extraordinary spectacle offered by the competition between aizkolaris. Men and women who dispute to cut with their axes a certain number of logs, located horizontally on the ground, in the shortest possible time. The largest possible exhibition of this rural sport will take place on November 21, Sunday, at the Bilbao Arena, where six men and three women will compete in the great double final of the Sherpa.ai Aizkolari Txapelketa Nagusia.

 

For the Athletic Club Foundation it is important that Basque rural sports remain alive in the 21st century and that is why it supports this tournament that values aizkolaritza.
