Zoology / falconry / Spain
Spanish term or phrase: un partido de antología
Habrá quien no alcance la excelencia en su relación con el ave que atiende. Basta observar a quienes se quedan en contrastar técnicas de manejo, estrategias de caza o peculiaridades de la cría por poner algunos ejemplos. La cetrería es esto y mucho más. Va más allá de unas cuantas presas capturadas al final de la temporada. Trasciende a la cotidianeidad del cetrero haciéndole eslabón de la cadena humana que desde hace 5000 años encontró en la libre alianza con el ser alado su modo de vida. Como en tantas otras actividades humanas es la máxima expresión del arte la que justifica que otras se queden por el camino.Como en tantas otras actividades humanas es la máxima expresión del arte la que justifica que otras se queden por el camino. Dicho en otras palabras, para ver un buen partido de fútbol o una buena corrida de toros hay que aguantar mucha mediocridad. Basta ver *un partido de antología* o una faena redonda para relativizar lo anterior.

What does the term mean, and does the sentence make logical sense in terms of what precedes it? At first glance, I would say not.

Thank you.
