Chovgan
Chovgan or Chovken ((アゼルバイジャン語:Çövkən)) (Middle Persian: ''čaukān'' or ''čōkān'', New Persian: čōgan or čōvgan), is a sporting team game with horses and a version of the modern polo game. From times immemorial it was considered an aristocratic game and held in a separate field, on specially trained horses. Nowadays, chovgan is spread in Azerbaijan, Iran and Uzbekistan.〔
==History==
Chovgan was originated in the middle of the first millennium A.D., as a team game. It was very popular during the centuries in the Middle East. Fragments of the game were periodically portrayed in ancient miniatures, and also detailed descriptions and rules of the game were also given in the ancient manuscripts. The first fixed chovgan match was held approximately in the year 600 between Turkmens and Persians in which Turkmens gained a victory.〔(Polo )〕
Englishmen had a great role in distribution and development of the game in Europe and the whole world. So chovgan – brought from India to England in the 12th century became more popular and addition of new rules into it favored quick spreading of this game in Europe and the USA. Namely on the initiative of Englishmen this game acquired its present name – polo and was included into program of the Olympic Games held in 1900, in Paris. 5 teams from three countries took part in the contests.
