OCAMPO HURTADO, Juan Gabriel. PREHISPANIC BALL GAME AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2012, vol.15, suppl.1, pp.13-16. ISSN 0123-4226.
The sport like fundamental component in the integral formation of persons finds in the culture his wealth as instrument of valuation to the sense of place in all the regions of the world. The pre-Hispanic ball game, with more than three thousand years of existence, deserves the category of Olympian historical game from his cultural contribution. With this objective the hermeneutics as a method of triangulation allows an interpretation of the relationship between sport and culture. As a result of this research, the pyramid city of Xochicalco, belonging to the Mesoamerican Epiclasic period, serves as an example to understand the motivation of the athlete, who gave itself in this case and in the sacred modality, in the tension between the underworld and the existence in a higher world.
