I do not go in for sports but I like extreme
kinds of sports, especially surfing.
SURFING – kind of aquatics, competition for
speed, range of movement on the big waves
on a special board.
The Olympic Games is the most important competition. The OG
have a very long history. They began more than two thousand
years ago in Greece. The famous Games at Olympia took place
every 4 years and all the cities in Greece sent their athletes to
take part in them. The Games were very popular and thousands
of Greeks used to watch them. It became a tradition even to
stop wars for the time of the OG, and people lived in peace. The
competitions lasted five days. The winners in each kind of
sport or art got on olive wreath.
