Puerto
Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish:
"Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico" —
literally Associated Free State of Puerto Rico), is
a self-governing unincorporated territory of the United
States located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea,
east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin
Islands.
Puerto
Rico is composed of an archipelago that includes the
main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller
islands, the largest of which are Vieques, Culebra,
and Mona. The main island of Puerto Rico is the smallest
by land area and second smallest by population among
the four Greater Antilles, which also include Cuba,
Hispaniola, and Jamaica.
Puerto
Ricans often call the island Borinquen, from Borikén,
its indigenous Taíno name. The terms boricua
and borincano derive from Borikén and Borinquen
respectively, and are commonly used to identify someone
of Puerto Rican heritage. The island is also popularly
known as "La Isla del Encanto", which translated
means "The Island of Enchantment."
Sports
Baseball
was one of the first sports to gain widespread popularity
in Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rico Baseball League serves
as the only active professional league, operating
as a winter league. No Major League Baseball franchise
or affiliate plays in Puerto Rico, however, San Juan
hosted the Montreal Expos for several series in 2003
and 2004 before they moved to Washington, D.C. and
became the Washington Nationals. Puerto Rico has participated
in the World Cup of Baseball winning one gold (1951),
four silver and four bronze medals and the Caribbean
Series, winning fourteen times. Famous Puerto Rican
baseball players include Roberto Clemente and Orlando
Cepeda, enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame in
1973 and 1999, respectively.
Boxing,
basketball, and volleyball are considered popular
sports as well. Wilfredo Gómez and McWilliams
Arroyo have won their respective divisions at the
World Amateur Boxing Championships. Other medalists
include José Pedraza, who holds a silver medal,
as well as three boxers that finished in third place,
José Luis Vellón, Nelson Dieppa and
McJoe Arroyo. In the professional circuit, Puerto
Rico has the third-most boxing world champions and
its the global leader in champions per capita. These
include Miguel Cotto, Félix Trinidad, Wilfred
Benítez and Gómez among others. The
Puerto Rico national basketball team joined the International
Basketball Federation in 1957. Since then, it has
won more than 30 medals in international competitions,
including gold in three FIBA Americas Championships
and the 1994 Goodwill Games. August 8, 2004, became
a landmark date for the team when it became the first
team to defeat the United States in an Olympic tournament
since the integration of National Basketball Association
players. Winning the inaugural game with scores of
92-73 as part of the 2004 Summer Olympics organized
in Athens, Greece.
Miscellaneous
practices of this sport have experienced some success,
including the "Puerto Rico All Stars" team,
which has won twelve world championships in unicycle
basketball. Organized Streetball has gathered some
exposition, with teams like "Puerto Rico Street
Ball" competing against established organizations
including the Capitanes de Arecibo and AND1's Mixtape
Tour Team. Consequently, practitioners of this style
have earned participation in international teams,
including Orlando "El Gato" Meléndez,
who became the first Puerto Rican born athlete to
play for the Harlem Globetrotters.[131] Orlando Antigua,
whose mother is Puerto Rican, made history in 1995,
when he became the first Hispanic and the first non-black
in 52 years to play for the Harlem Globetrotters.
The
Puerto Rico Islanders Football Club, founded in 2003,
plays in the United Soccer Leagues First Division,
which constitutes the second tier of football in North
America. Puerto Rico is also a member of FIFA and
CONCACAF. In 2008 the archipelago's first unified
league, the Puerto Rico Soccer League, was established.
Secondary sports include Professional wrestling and
road running. The World Wrestling Council and International
Wrestling Association are the largest wrestling promotions
in the main island. The World's Best 10K, held annually
in San Juan, has been ranked among the 20 most competitive
races globally.
Puerto
Rico has representation in all international competitions
including the Summer and Winter Olympics, the Pan
American Games, the Caribbean World Series, and the
Central American and Caribbean Games. Puerto Rican
athletes have won 6 medals (1 silver, 5 bronze) in
Olympic competition, the first one in 1948 by boxer
Juan Evangelista Venegas. On March 2006 San Juan's
Hiram Bithorn Stadium hosted the opening round as
well as the second round of the newly formed World
Baseball Classic. The 2010 Central American and Caribbean
Games will be held in Mayagüez in 2010. (Credit:

Profile
Virgin Islands
The
Virgin Islands are the eastern island group of the
Leeward Islands, which are the northern part of the
Lesser Antilles, which form the border between the
Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Politically,
the north-eastern islands form the British Virgin
Islands and the south-western ones the United States
Virgin Islands.
The
British Virgin Islands is an overseas territory of
the United Kingdom comprising Tortola, Virgin Gorda,
Jost Van Dyke, over fifty smaller islands, and Anegada
to the north. The United States Virgin Islands is
an unincorporated territory of the United States comprising
St. Croix to the south, with St. John, St. Thomas,
and smaller islands. The Virgin Passage separates
the U.S. Virgin Islands from the "Spanish Virgin
Islands" or "Passage Islands", Vieques
and Culebra, which are the easternmost islands of
Puerto Rico.
History
Christopher
Columbus named the islands Santa Ursula y las Once
Mil Vírgenes, shortened to Las Vírgenes,
after Saint Ursula and her 11,000 virgins. They were
inhabited by the Arawak, Carib and Cermic, all of
whom died out during the colonial period from disease,
harsh labor conditions, and murder.
Later,
the islands were re-populated by European colonists,
who established sugar plantations (and at least one
tobacco plantation) worked by slaves brought from
Africa. The plantations are gone, but the descendants
of the slaves remain the bulk of the population, sharing
a common Afro-Caribbean heritage with the rest of
the English-speaking Caribbean.
Motor
vehicles are driven on the left-hand side of the road
in both the British and the U.S. Virgin Islands, although
the steering wheels on most cars is located on the
left side (as is the norm for drive-on-the-right localities).
Also, the United States dollar is the official currency
on both the British and U.S. Virgin Islands.
A
1990s tourist campaign re-christened the Passage Islands
as the Spanish Virgin Islands, though they are seldom
identified as such on maps and atlases. They are just
east of Puerto Rico, and governed as part of the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico. Natives speak Spanish, and the culture
is similar to Puerto Rico. Vieques and Culebra belonged
to Spain prior to the Spanish-American War in 1898.
Though the islands are not labeled part of the Virgin
Islands archipelago, some[who?] argue that Vieques
and Culebra are geographically part of the Virgin
Islands chain, and note that Vieques and Culebra are
closer to St. Thomas than St. Thomas is to St. Croix.
