B.C. Senior Games

Boccl

By JOANNA WONG
SEASONED B.C, senior
games athlete and gold-
medal winning -cribbage
player Jim Mackenzie. is
always looking fora new -
challenge.

That’s why three years
ago, Mackenzie put his
cards away and tried, his
hand at Bocci, the world’s

must-played- sport - after:

soccer.

“Hopefully we can get
in third spot,” says Mack-
enzie, who will take on
the best Bocci players in
the province at the. games
August 28-31, ,

Mackenzie likens the
game to curling or lawn
bowling. The: goal of the
45 minute game js to get
as close to a fixed target
as possible. ;

“I's a lot of fun,” he
says. “You meet a lot of
people and the camarader-
ie is great.”

While traces of the
game can be found among
the early Egyptians and
Romans, Bocci is said to
have evolved in Europe.

Throughout the centur-
ies, the sport became so
popular thal at one point
some European govern-
ments tried to ban it on the
grounds that the public’s
Bocci obsession interfered

stale.

On December 11, 1576,
the Republic of Venice
condemned it and ruled
that those who continued
to play Bocci would be
punished with fines and
imprisonment.

But Bocci survived, and
in the early 20th century
leagues began to spring up
all over Italy and France.

Mackenzie says many

of the best Bocci players
at the senior games are
Italian and French immi-
grants who have grown up
playing the sport.

But challenge, of
course, is why Mackenzie
started playing Bocci in
the first place.

“| like playing good
tough competition,” he
says. “It gives me a
chance to learn more.”
