In English, there are words like golf/tennis tournament, mathematics/spelling competition, speech/beauty contest, baseball/basketball game, car/horse race, boxing/wrestling match. I wonder how to say them in Spanish respectively?

Excellent list from Pumpkin, to which I would add ¨la rounda¨ As in, the next round. La próxima ronda (or less literally, but in some circles more common, la próxima fecha).
And the maybe rather obvious ¨event¨, el evento.

Hola, Roger. So, "sports event" is "evento deportivo"? Besides, I look up the dictionary, "fecha" is "date." But, you mean it can be explained as "round" here? - joygogo, Nov 6, 2013
The word is "ronda" fix that up there! ;) - chileno, Nov 6, 2013
