Cheerleading originally started in the United States and The United States is where the sport is mostly popular in but it had been spread across the globe. Cheerleading is advertised in many places like the internet, TV shows, ESPN hosts a few competitions on their channel, and movies. With the of the amount of exposure cheerleading has, cheerleading has stretched to countries including Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
During the summer of 2007 at the gym I was a part of there was a team practicing that I have never seen before. Their skills were pretty good but nothing like the TopGun Large Coed. The team’s mascot was a duck...that should say a lot! They had quaking noises in their music it was actually really funny, but if they had a better choreographer they could have been good. It’s interesting to see cheer teams from across the world. Worlds is a competition obviously that is participated by other countries beside the U.S. I would really love to go and watch worlds one day!
First off, the picture you posted looks very cool. I never knew that cheerleading started in the United States. I wonder when it started, probably when sporting events really got popular and people started going to support their teams. Where was the "duck" team from? It is not surprising that different countries have different ideas of their music/ mascots/ and choreography though. I wonder what cheerleaders from Japan would look like.
