"frescobol" (beach racketball) Explanation: Eu deixaria assim, "frescobol" entre aspas, e o equivalente em inglês entre parênteses. Racketball é um esporte jogado com as raquetes de madeira, e com dois jogadores. Acredito que "paddleball" seja uma raquete só, com uma bola amarrada a um fio, e que pode ser jogado por uma pessoa só. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2008-05-26 21:59:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Racquetball is a racquet sport played with a hollow rubber ball in an indoor or outdoor court. Joe Sobek invented the sport in 1948, incorporating rules from squash and handball. Unlike most racquet sports, such as tennis or badminton, the court's walls, floor, and ceiling are legal playing surfaces, rather than out-of-bounds. |
