Speed, excitement, danger. You can find all these in the different extreme sports that have become popular in last 10 years.Take bungee jumping. You jump off a bridge and you fall and fall, and then, just before you hit the ground or water, an elastic rope pulls you back.In skysurfing you jump out of aeroplane and use a board to "surf" the air, doing gymnastics in mid-air!

Snowboarding is the fastest growing winter sport and is set to become even more popular than skiing. It is hard to say who actually "invented" the first snowboard because it was influenced by many different people including Sherman Poppen, Demetrije Milovich, Tom Sims and Jake Burton Carpenter. Snowboarding's roots, however, may be traced back to the early 1920's. Then children in Vermont built what would now be considered makeshift snowboards out of barrel staves and rode them sideways down a snowy hill.

Sport is an essential part of my daily life. Every morning all the year round I do my morning exercises. Almost every day I do some training. In summer I go swimming or rowing. During my summer holidays I go on hikes. I usually spend my winter holidays in the country where I ski, skate or toboggan.

The game developed in the frozen expanses of North America, and a hundred years ago became the national winter sport of Canada. It also became very popular in the northern states of the United States, and later spread to Europe, Japan, and even to Australia.

The original Olympic Games were held every four years in honour of Zeus, the supreme god of Greek religion. The first record of the games dates from 776 B.C., but it is certain that they existed prior to that. They were held continuously for over 1.000 years until they were abolished in the reign of King Theodosius about 392 A.D. The Olympic festival was a great unifying bond between the Independent city-states of Greece.

I enjoy observing the dancers doing their labour of love with great pleasure. The speech is going about people, who dance not only for money, not only for a wide fame. I am talking about people, who can feel those moments of happiness, the moments you are free. This time you are independent of all problems in this world. It's impossible to convey, it has to be felt. Watching the breathtaking performance, we can see graceful movements, wonderful hand balances and other splendid actions. Indeed, we observe the lightness illusion only. It's hard to imagine how much time and energy this art of dancing has been taking. For making progress you have to have a great number of characteristics features. Some of them are sincere desire first of all, motivation and also talent.
