The Winter Games:
Every four years, athletes from around the world gather to competein the Winter Games of the Olympics. The athletes, who trainextremely hard, are chosen to represent their countries. The games begin with the opening ceremony, where the athletes parade in front of an audience.
The Events:
The Winter Games is comprised of many different events. There are sledding events such as the luge and the bobsled. There are skiing events such as alpine and cross country. There are also team sports such as ice hockey. Every Olympics has some new events are added such as snowboarding, which was added in the 1998 Nagano Olympic Games.
Winning:
The dream of every athlete is to make it to the podium, which is where the medals are handed out. The first place winners receive the gold medal and have the honor of hearing their countries’ national anthem played. The second place winners receive the silver medal and the third place winners receive the bronze medal. Often, the winners are determined by who has the fastest time. Events such as the speed skating are decided this way. Other events such as figure skating are determined by a panel of judges, who give marks according to artistic and technical ability.
There are so many kinds of sport: football, basketball, and hockey for active team players; ice–skating, running or track and fields for hard–working individuals and even chess and other intellectual kinds of sport. So you only need to find yours.
Personally, I think that sport is as important to me as education. I’m convinced that the sound mind is in a sound body. Therefore, I’m trying to keep fit by different means. I like different active team games in summer. I can play beach volleyball or tennis with my friends. In winter I prefer going to the gym or some kinds of winter sports as ice–skating or snowboarding. This is great fun. In spring and autumn when the weather is good I love jogging in the park enjoying the nature around.
However, there is one sport that brings me the most of the pleasure. It’s horse–riding. I have been doing this kind of sport for only 2 years, but I’m already quite good at it. There is a small school of horse–riding not far away from the town where I live. There are not many horses, but I need only one. Its nickname is Lucky and I have been riding it since early beginning of my training. I like the coach too. She teaches me to take care of horses and to communicate with them.
Unfortunately, this kind of sport is expensive and I don’t have an opportunity to do it on a regular basis. Nevertheless, when I’m riding I feel a great influence of this animal. It’s not just a kind of sport but a kind of psychotherapy that gives you spiritual balance.
So, I can recommend trying this sport for sure, because it’s appropriate for everyone and it’s more than just physical activity.
