「吓,真係有得玩架?」
問十個人有無興趣玩魁地奇,十個都會面帶疑惑給你這樣的回應。不是騙案,也不是幻覺,魁地奇不是魔法世界專有,本周末沙灣徑將會上演一場魁地奇國際友誼賽,由香港大學隊將迎戰遠道而來的韓國代表。魔法世界的熱門運動是如何演變為現實世界中的刺激運動?這項運動相比一般球類運動又有甚麼特別之處?
從小說化為現實 由娛樂走向運動
哈利波特系列中,魁地奇是魔法世界中最觸目的運動。騎上飛天掃把,追逐高塔之間,躲開搏格的重擊,盡力將快浮射入對方龍門,最後把疾飛的金探子抓住,完美地結束一場魁地奇比賽。J K 羅琳以精彩的文字,將緊張刺激的魁地奇帶到讀者眼前,令人如同置身現場,看得血脈沸騰。
血脈沸騰的一眾麻瓜決意無視界限,將魁地奇從魔法世界帶來現實世界。早在2005年,美國已有人模仿書中魁地奇的玩法,執起掃把,在綠茵場上攻守一番。隨著球員增多,魁地奇亦漸漸改善遊戲規範,發展出地區以至國家聯賽。現時魁地奇已經是一項國際體育運動,球員遍布二十多個國家。當中美國發展最具規模,不但有各個地區聯賽以及國家聯賽,其代表隊更是兩屆世界盃冠軍。亞太地區的魁地奇近年亦發展篷勃。澳洲在近年崛起,擊敗美國奪得二零一六年世界盃冠軍。韓國、越南、馬來西亞等地都有魁地奇球隊。
上演國際賽香港首次
麻瓜不能飛,所以玩麻瓜魁地奇不須要「吊威也」才能玩,只需「騎著掃把」,在場上狂奔即可。每隊的三個追蹤手負責突破對方防線、繞過守門員,將快浮射入對方龍門,兩個打擊手則要用搏格擊退對方的球員。剩下的搜捕手就要等金探子(無錯,就是人一個)放出後,把他身後的真。金探子扯下來以結束賽事。每個入球10分,抓到金探子的一方額外獲30分。
這麻瓜世界魁地奇,將於本周六在沙灣徑何鴻燊體育中心四號場上演。除了主場香港隊之外,還有來自韓國、馬來西亞以至菲律賓的球員參與,是香港首次正式的魁地奇賽事。賽事將會由香港大學隊對來自韓國首爾大學的Seoul Puffskeins。兩隊將會對壘三場,勝出兩場的一隊將會贏得本次友誼賽。
主辦這次賽事的 Chris 和 Thomas 都是熱衷魁地奇的港大同學。Chris 接觸魁地奇約兩年,曾經在倫敦作交換生時參與當地的正式訓練‵,去年以香港外援身分參加亞洲魁地奇盃。Thomas 在英國留學時開始參與魁地奇,曾參加不少英國及歐洲的頂尖賽事。回港後,Thomas認識了Chris等一班有興趣打魁地奇的朋友,在香港推動發展魁地奇這項運動。Chris主要負責組織和籌備的工作,而Thomas則負責訓練及技術指導。
這次賽事能邀得來自韓國及馬來西亞的隊伍及球員,對Chris來說實在是意料之外:「上年七月我同另外兩個朋友去咗越南參加亞洲魁地奇盃,喺嗰度識咗好多唔同國家的球員。今次活動其實籌備得好趕急,一個月前先邀請佢哋嚟,無諗過佢哋好快就應乘嚟。」Chris亦希望同學來欣賞這次難得的賽事,感受一下魁地奇的魔力。
沒有魔法亦要改變世界
魁地奇躍出書本,跳入球場成為運動。不過,魁地奇跨入的不只體育界,亦肩負推廣平等意識的理念。一直以來,性別平等與共融是魁地奇的核心理念。賽例規定每隊場上同一性別的人數不可以超過四人,以鼓勵不同性別認同的人一起作賽。Chris對這一理念深表認同,認為混合作賽不但令這項運動與一般劃分為男子隊、女子隊的團體運動相比更顯獨特,亦能透過運動打破不同性別之間的藩籬,同時引起對性別平等與共融的關注。
這次友誼賽是由 Chris 和 Thomas籌備的「平等翱翔」計劃的一部分。計劃獲「港大84年畢業生」成立及「何鴻燊校友挑戰計劃」配對的「社會共融活動基金」贊助、香港大學平等機會處支持,透過舉辦這次表演賽及恆常訓練,推廣魁地奇與性別平等的概念。香港大學通識教育部和香港大學學生會體育聯會亦有支持。友誼賽之後,「平等翱翔」計劃將繼續舉辦魁地奇訓練班予港大同學,繼續在校園推廣運動及性別平等的理念。
