Badminton Batminton was first held as a summer olympic game at the 1972.It had demonstraytion about it. Most of people wanted to be the badminton in olimpic, so badminton premiered as a proper sport game at the 1988. It was in 1992, Barcelona, Spain. It was AGAIN featuredat the 1996 olympic games in Atlanta, and has continued to be full-medal sport since then. the mixed double badminton match were included in the summer olympic gamesfor the first time in Atlanta in 1996 too. And today, everyone enjoy badminton.
Hello my sport is Javlin: Javelin bought women and men can play it. Ithink javelin is not right to play because you can get hurt . I think that the javel can go through your head and that is bad for your brain. Does were not facts .
facts: Men and women can play that game.The size, shape, minimum weight,and center of gravity of the javelin implement itself are all defined by IAAF rules. In international competition, men throw a javelin between 2.6 and 2.7 m (8 ft 6 in and 8 ft 10 in) in length and 800 g (28 oz) in weight, and women throw a javelin between 2.2 and 2.3 m (7 ft 3 in and 7 ft 7 in) in length and 600 g (21 oz) in weight. The javelin is equipped with a grip, approximately 150 mm (5.9 in) wide, made of cord and located at the javelin's center of gravity (0.9 to 1.06 m (2 ft 10 in to 3 ft 6 in) or 0.8 to 0.92 m (2 ft 7 in to 3 ft 0.2 in) from the tip of the javelin for men's and women's implements.
My second sport is : horse back riding Horse back riding: I think it is cool , i wish i could rida horses like that professoinals. But you can fall down from you hors and allmost impossible you can brake your back or backside or (boom)but not as dengerous as javelin. That was not facts facts: Sometimes described as “horse ballet,” dressage comes from a French word that literally means “training.” According to the United States Dressage Federation , the purpose of the sport is “to develop the horse’s natural athletic ability and willingness to work, making him calm, supple, and attentive to his rider.” Competitive dressage consists of nine progressive levels of training with a series of tests required to advance to a higher one. The highest level is the Grand Prix, which is practiced at the Olympics. A dressage competition takes place in an entirely flat and rectangular arena. Upon entering, the riders travel down a central line and then stop for a salute. During the salute, the horse must be completely still. The actual competition consists of the horse and rider completing a series of movements from memory. Movements like the walk, trot, and canter are included in all competitions. Twelve lettered markers are placed around the railing of the course, and they indicate where to start or finish a movement and where changes of pace should take place. Judges award each movement a score between 0 and 10, and whoever has the highest total score wins.
One of the sports that I researched was tennis. To play tennis you have to hit the ball with a racket over the other side, where your opponent is. It is played with two or four players seperated equally on either side of the court, with a long net going across in the middle. You get a point if your opponent hits the ball off-limits. It is played in sets. The tennis ball is green and has two lines curving along it. Tennis has been an olympic sport since 1896. The people who have won the most gold medals in tennis at the olympics are Reginard Doherty(GB)for men and Venus Williams(USA)for women, both with three. I think that tennis is a great sport.
My other Olympic sport was Gymnastics. There are 3 kinds of gymnastics, Artistic gymnastics, Rhythmic gymnastics and Trampoline. Gymnastics have been at every sumer Olympics since 1896 in Athens, Greece. During the first 32 years only men were allowed to compete but in the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam women were allowed to compete in Artistic competitions as well. Rhythmic gymnastics were introduced in the 1984 summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Trampoline was introduced at the 2000 summer Olympics in Sydney,Australia. I love gymnastics because I feel free when I do it.
Canoe slalom on whitewater started on 11 September 1932 in Switzerland, it is one of the most spectacular watersports, demanding skill and courage. The aim is to run a rapid river course, marked by "gates" fast, and without touching anything.A "gate" is two poles, suspended over the water. Green and white gates are held in a downstream direction, red and white gates upstream. You have to pass through all the gates in the right number order, and in the right direction - red ones up stream, green ones down stream. If you touch a pole with anything - paddle, boat, helmet or any part of your body - a 2 second penalty is added to your time. If you miss a gate out, or go through in the wrong direction or upside down, the penalty is 50 seconds! - a wipeout in serious competition! A canoe is a small narrow boat, barely weighing 9 kilos, ( while YOU weigh at least 40 kilos), The canoes of today are made from many materials, including aluminum, fiber glass, plastic, carbon fiber, wood and even bark. there is only a tiny room for you to fit in, thats means, you can't go sleep on it or bronze on it in every positions you like, it would be VERY incomfortable! I think Canoe slalom is a very, very difficult sport, what is your canoe turns upside down?

The first sport I needed to research was BMX riding. To do BMX you need to have a BMX; It is a sort of freestyle bycicle wich is used on bumpy and jumpy surfaces. With a BMX you can do a lot of crazy things like a back somersault. The first people who started to do BMX were the USA in California in the 1960s but this discipline is quite recent in the Olympics games. As this summer in London, it will be the second time that it is an olympical sport. In the men's competition there are to 32 competitors to 48. And in the women's competition there are 16 women. In the Londons 2012 olympics the length track for Men will be 470 meters and for women it will be 430 meters. From my personal point of view, to be a really good BMX rider you need to be really coordinated because imagine you are in the air after you jumped and you are scared to fall down then you let go the handlebar then you could brake bones. Therefor I do not want to be a BMX rider. It is a rery dangerous activity.
The other sport that I researched about was swimming. Swimming is a sport where you use your the body, sometimes flippers or boards, to move the body through the water. In the olympics there are 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m Freestyle and more. The main styles of swimming in the olympics are Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststoke and Freestyle but there are more. The olympic swimming pool is 50m(164ft) in length, 25m(82ft) in width and 2.0m(6ft7in) in depth at the minimum. It consists of 10 lanes, each 2.5m(8ft2in) wide. The water temperature ranges from 25–28 °C (77–82 °F). Swimming has been an olympic sport since 1896, and has been one ever since. The person who has won the most gold medals in swimming at the olympics is Michael Phelps with 14 gold medals for men and Jenny Thompson with 8 gold medals for women. Michael Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics with 8. I think that swimming is a good and healthy sport.
first sport that I got was badminton. The rule is the players hit a chuttlecock over the net into their opponents' half. The aim is to score points by playing a shuttlecock so that it can not be returned over the net with in the boundary lines. Olympic shuttlecocks weight is between 4.74 grams and 5.5 grams and contain 16 feathers, each plucked from the left wing of a goose. They can travel at speeds in excess of 400km/h. The singles court is 13.4 m long and 5.18 m wide, the doubles court is 13.4 m long and 6.1 m wide. The court is devided in to half perfectly by a 1.55 high net. Badminton made its full olympic debut at Barcelona, 1992. Asian countries now dominate: China, Indonesia and Korea have won 23 of the 24 gold medals awarded since the sport's first appearance at the games. Learning about sports is fun. Mio
Synchronized Swimming is a fabulous sport which you dance in the water. This sport is a team sport and you do not do it individualy. Instead, you do it in a group. There is no specific number you have to be in. This sport is all about dancing in the same tempo and together. it would not look as beautiful if everything isn't together. You do many different positions such as the Flamingo, Bent Knee, Split and the Torpedo. The Flamingo is a position where you float in the water and put one of your leg up as straight as you can while bending your knee. The Torpedo is when you float in the water while your legs and arm are together beside your body. The Bent Knee is a position where you bend one knee while putting the other leg staight and flat onto the water. The Split is when you do the split in the water while doing a handstand. Overall, I think this is an elegant and excellent sport.
This is one of the sports that i did some research on and it is javelin. How javelin works is you cary a long and pointy stick not really a stick (batten) it is beetween 2.6 m and 2.7 m. Javelin throwers are provided with a runway 4 m (13 ft) wide and at least 30 m (98 ft) in length, ending in a curved arc from which their throw will be measured; athletes typically use this distance to gain momentum in a "run-up" to their throw. Like the other throwing events, the competitor may not leave the throwing area (the runway) until after the implement lands. The need to come to a stop behind the throwing arc limits both how close the athlete can come to the line before the release as well as the maximum speed achieved at the time of release. The best took the silver at last year's World Championships in Daegu. how to win in javelin is The longest single throw during the final wins. I think javelin is dengerous because if you are one of the people standing in the field and they throw the javeling it can enter your and that is bad for your brains. Javelin is cool but hard and the possibility of dieng. Did you know that the javelin was redesigned so that it traveled shorter distances and this As a result, winning javelin throws at the Olympic Games are now approximately 15 meters (about 49 ft.) less than before the new javelin was introduced.
Secend sport I got was triathlon. Triathlon races combine swimming, cycling and running, in that order. Events are conducted over a variety of distance: for the olympic games, the men's and women's triathlon will consist of a 1500 m ( 1.5 km ) swim, a 43 km bike ride and 10 km run. The race is completed from start to finish, with no breaks. The transitions between the swim, the bike and the run are part of the race. Crucial seconds can be gained or lost in the transition area. More than half a million spectators lined the Sydney streets to watch the first ever olympic triathlon at the 2000 games. The six triathlon events held since the sport's olympic debut have been won by athletes from six different countries: Canada and Switzerland in 2000, New Zealand and Austria in 2004 and Germany and Australia in 2008. If I do triathlon, I will be horrible. But I think the people doing triathlon is very strong.
The other sport i did some research on is horse back riding. Horse back riding is awsome and fun.imangy how to ride a horse that good. It disappeared until 1912, but has appeared at every Summer Olympic Games since. The current Olympic equestrian disciplines are Dressage, Eventing, and Jumping. In each discipline, both individual and team medals are awarded.Equestrian disciplines and the equestrian component of Modern Pentathlon are also the only Olympic events that involve animals. The horse is considered as much an athlete as the rider. Riders are required by the FEI to be a minimum of 16 years old. All horses must be at least 7. There is no maximum age. The best is : 1 Germany (GER) 21 10 11 42 I think to win you have to train your horse well and be excellent at making it turn,jump etc . Did you know the equestrian dressage competition is one of the only Olympic events in which men and women compete directly against each other. Until 1952 though, only male commissioned military officers were allowed to compete in the event.
The second sport I needed to research was Fencing. The first people who started Fencing were the Grecs. It is also a sport for a women. In 1900 in the olympic games of Paris Ramon Fonst won the men championship. The first one who touches 15 times the other wins. There is 3 rounds of three minutes if in the three rounds they don't reach the 15 touch then it's the on who had the more touchs who wins. There is three types of weapons one of them is called the sword another one is called the sabre and the last one is called the fleuret. They have a sort of white close,this is used because when they touch eachother there is like a cord behind them wich when they touch eachother they can know if they really touched eachother.
1st sport that I researched was: Shot put. And the Shot put is basically: throwing the Shot long us we can. But the Shot is extremely heavy. It's 7.25 kg! So you will probably say: "Wow that's heavy. But how can we throw that heavy metal ball?" The problem is very simple. We just need 2 scientific things to throw this heavy Shot: centrifugal force and centripetal force.The centrifugal force is the force that makes the things move outwards and centripetal force is the force to don't make a things outwards. For instance, if we connect the rock and the short rope then pick the top of rope and then spin it, rock will want to go outwards. And that is the centrifugal force. But the rock can not go outwards because you are holding the rope. And that is the centripetal force. Anyway, the Sot put is using those forces too. We put the Shot next to the neck then we spin to get the centrifugal force and then we throw the Shot. There is many scientific things that we can find in the sport. Isn't it amazing?
Track Cycling is one of the sports which are played at the Olympic game. Track Cycling is a bicycle racing sport. It has been around since at least 1870. There are 10 Olympic Track Cycling events (five for men, five for women),which between them test speed, endurance and teamwork. Track Cycling racing is usually held on specially built banked tracks by using track bicycles. The race takes place over 40 kilometers for men and 25 kilometers for women. I like this sport because it uses power as well as a teamwork to play this game. Track Cycling does not only make you fun but also makes your legs stronger.
One of the sports that i researched was weightlifting. Weightlifting is a sport where you have to lift weights. There are 2 events in weight lifting, Snatch and Clean and Jerk. To Clean is to lift the weight and lift it up to your clavicle. To Jerk is to lift the weight a little more over your head. The aim of the game is to hold the weight for 3 seconds. If the other person lifts the weight for 3 seconds too they both have to try to carry a heavier weight for 3 seconds. To win you have to be the one who can carry the heaviest weight. The first weightlifting competition in the Olympics was held in 1896 in Athens,Greece. I think that weightlifting is a cool sport but i also think that it is a little dangerous.
Wrestling is one of the most well – known sports. Also, it is one of the oldest sports. In the past, Wrestling was the number one sport of the Olympic Games because people liked to fight. The ancient Romans borrowed heavily from Greek wrestling, but they cut the bad things that were cruel. In my opinion, the Romans would have more fun than the Greek. Wrestling is a form of fighting sport. Wrestling is a sport using the techniques such as throwing, takedowns, grappling holds and clinch fighting. The real wrestling is the one that used to play at the Olympics not the one that we watched on television. I like this sport because we can use power and brains. We have to concentrate on the techniques in order to win the opponent.
Diving is a spot which you do in the water, but you do not swim. Instead, you jump from a platform or a springboard which is placed in a very high place, and you jump into the water while making a shape, or position with your body. For example, Straight, Tuck, Pike and Free. The Straight is the hardest in these four and it is when all your body has no bends and is perfectly straight. The Tuck is the easiest of the four and is when you hold your body up in a ball. The Pike is when your knees are straight yet your hips or slightly bent. Finally, Free is when it indicates a twisting dive, but the diver can arrange it slightly. These positions are divided more complicated by using numbers and a letter. A is Straight, B is Pike, C is Tuck, and D is free. I think this sport is a great sport but I think Synchronized Swimming is a better sport because it is all "synchronized".
Hammer throw is one of the throwing events in track and field. Only adults that can play this game, men and women. In this throwing competition, the competitors have to throw a metal ball attached to a wire, and anyone who throws the ball the farthest wins. The men's hammer weighs 7.257 kg and the women's hammer weighs 4 kg. The world record for men's hammer throw was held by Yuriy Sedykh (URS). His record was 86.74 metres and for women's hammer throw was hld by Betty Heidler (GER) who threw 79.42 metres. They are the best throwers of all time.
Triple jump, known also as "hop, step and jump" is a track and field event in the Olympic games. You run as fast as you can down the track, and preform a hop, a bound and then jump into the sand. The Triple jump came from the Ancient Olympics. Triple jump started in Olympia in 1896. The current male and female world record holders are Jonathan Edwards of Great Britain, with a jump of 18.29 metres, and Inessa Kravets of Ukraine, with a jump of 15.5 metres. The first gold medalist in the Modern Olympics was James Connolly of the United States in the triple jump in the 1896 Games in Athens.
high jump is one of the jumping events in track and field. The competitors must jump over a bar placed at measured heights. The winner is the person who cleared the highest height. There are various techniques to jump over the bar: The scissors technique, the Western roll technique and the Eastern cut- off. High jump was included in the Modern Olympic Games in 1896. The athlete with most medals is Javier Sotomayor from Cuba with the total of 13 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 1 bronze medal. He is also the record holder for men's high jump and for women's high jump record is held by Stefka Kostadinova from Bulgaria.
One of my sports was Taekwondo.Taekwondo is a national sport of South Korea and it has no age limits and is a very good sport for children.But competition rules are a bit different for children then they are for adults.To play Taekwondo you have to fight with another person.You get 1 point for punching person's head or the body,2 points for kicking the body and 3 points for kicking the head. Taekwondo was the world's most popular martial art in terms of number of practitioners.And also,taekwondo is often translated as 'the way of hand and foot'.It looks dangerous but it is not very dangerous to practise Taekwondo.I think Taekwondo is a interesting sport.
Hammer throw is one of the throwing events in track and field. Only adults that can play this game, men and women. In this throwing competition, the competitors have to throw a metal ball attached to a wire, and anyone who throws the ball the farthest wins. The men's hammer weighs 7.257 kg and the women's hammer weighs 4 kg. The world record for men's hammer throw was held by Yuriy Sedykh(URS). His record was 86.74 metres and for the world record for women's hammer throw was held by Betty Heidler(GER) who threw 79.42 metres. They are the best throwers of all time.
The other sport which I was given was Archery.It is a sport which you use an arrow and a bow.Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat, while in modern times, its main use is that of a recreational activity.Archers are divided into seniors and juniors, with juniors being those under the age of 18.Archery competitions may be held indoors or outdoors. Indoor rounds are normally shot at one distance, whereas outdoor competitions normally consist of several distances.All competitors must wait for the command to start shooting from the field captain. The signal is one whistle.The archers are not allowed to collect their arrows whilst other archers are shooting.I have never played archery,so I want to play it once.
One of the sports I had to research was field hockey. Field hockey is a sport in which you run around and try and hit a ball into a goal with a hockey stick. There are 8 players on each side. The teams must score as many goals as they can. The time for the game is divided equally into 35 minutes each with 15 minutes for half time. In this game there are no fixed positions but they arrange themselves like in football with the defense and the attack players and a goalkeeper. Some of the famous field hockey players are Trevor Manning, Richard Allen and Florian Keller.
One other sport I had to type about was long jump. Long jump is a sport in which you have to run and then jump as far as you can. In order to do this sport you must have the speed, strength and agility in order to do the sport. This sport is a track and field event. This event has been a medal to the Olympics since the first modern Olympics in 1896. Some of the most famous athletes were Carl Lewis, Mike Powell and Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
My first sport is volleyball. This sport requires a lot of teamwork. There are about twelve players on each team. There is a net that separates the court in the middle with six players on each side of the court. This sport was invented in 1895 by William Morgan which makes it 117 years old. The first ball for the game was designed in 1900. Now volleyball is played all around the world. It became an Olympic sport in 1964. This is how the points work, if the team serves or hits the ball over the net and it goes out of bounds then the other team gets a point. The other team also gets a point if the ball does not go over the net. If the ball hits the ground in the court then you get a point. If your interested in this passage maybe you should think about joining your school's volleyball team. If you do, good luck!
My next sport is kayaking. I don't know a lot about kayaking so I will be learning with you about it. Basically kayaking is where you are in a kayak, which is a boat, and you are paddling with a double bladed paddle. Here are some materials that are used to make kayaks: fiberglass, fabric, metal, wood, and plastic. There are different types of kayaking. For example, white water kayaking is where you kayak in rapids or waterfalls. There is also sea kayaking where you kayak in the sea. Kayaking is not only a sport it also can be for fishing,diving,exploring wildlife and rescues during floods. When I was a little girl I went kayaking with my father.I cant remember this moment but my father can. If I could choose one type of kayaking to do I would pick whitewater kayaking. What would you pick? I hope you have liked this passage about kayaking.
I have had the pleasure of researching information about the marathon.The marathon is a long-distance running event in the Olympics.It has been in the Olympics since the start of the games (1896).You have to run 42.195 kilometers to reach the finish line.You must have a lot of endurance to finish a marathon.Most people do not care if they win or not they just want to finish it.There are running marathons,wheel chair marathons,swimming marathons,walking marathons and many more.This event got its name from the Greek of The Battle of Marathon.The Greek soldier,Phieliedepies ran from Athens to Marathon several times and at the end he dropped down dead.The best two countries in the world in my opinion are Kenya and Ethiopia.I really like the marathon and how it has a real past history with this soldier.I also like how it honeres this heroic soldier.When I am older I would like to take part in a marathon and finish it.In 2010 5000 people in th e USA finished the marathon.It challenges and pushes people to go over their limits wich is another thing I like about it.
The second sport I had a lot of fun researching is rowing.It is an Olympic sport where athletes race on rivers,lake and oceans all depending on the type of race.The boats are pushed by oars,wich are held by oater locks that athlethes push,that push against the water.You have to learn many different technics to be a professional rower.Overall fitness is very important too.It is also one of the oldest sports in the Olympics.In the United states it is sometimes called crew.In rowing races the athletes sit on the boat backwards and use the oars to advance.This sport requires strong balance,force and even more endurance.It takes years to get ready.There many different disciplines having to do with rowing.There is time trials,stake racing,Bumps racing and the side by side one used in the Olympics.Rowing is a very hard sport which takes years of training.If you want to be a rower start training now(it is too late for you Mr.May).
My 2nd sport was sailing. And this game is basically: 'Who will arrive to finish line first with sailing the boat?' And I will explain the way to play the sailing. They have some minutes before they start the game. When starter gun shoots, they have to start sailing fast as they can. The country that has got the most gold medals is England, 24 gold medals. The countries that haven't got any gold medal are Canada, Portugal, Russia, Japan, Ireland, etc... The country that has got the most silver medals is America, 23 silver medals. The countries that haven't got any silver medal are Israel, Bahamas, Poland, Estonia, Hungary, etc... The country that has got the most bronze medals is America , 17 bronze medals. Finally, the countries that haven't got any bronze medal Austria, Hong Kong, Cuba, Ireland, etc...
1 of the sport I researched was football. As you can see from the name of the sport, you can a use your foot, head and body but not your hand. To play football, you need 11 people in one team. You need defenders, who need to defend from people attacking, midfielders who need to pass or score, forward who tries to score. And also you need a goalkeeper to stop a goal from the people scoring. And how you can play it is that in 2 teams, you have to make ball that's normally 2.27kg and which has 22 cm of diameter, go into the goal which has 2.44 meters high and 7.32 meters wide. It is known in all the countries around the World. People say that sport like a football started in China during 2nd and 3rd century BC. In China, that the people dribbled the leather ball and kicked it into net. There is also a fact that in Rome and Greek used to play with a ball for fun. And also, at Japan, kicking a ball was a popular sport. I felt that football is a nice sport.
Steeple Chase is a track and field event where there are four barriers and one water jump where it has 3000m. Each runer must clear a total of 28 barriers and sevent water jumps. The water jump is located on the back turn, either inside the inner lane or outside the outer lane. If it is on the outside, then each of the seven laps is longer than the standard 400 m, and the starting point is on the home straight. If the water jump is on the inside, each lap is shorter than 400 m, the starting point is on the back straight, and the water jump is byassed at the start. The best country in Steeple chase is moustly Kenya. Moses Kiptanui is the best runner for now in Steeple chase in 2012. The Steeple chase started at Olympia at 1860. I think steeple chase is a great event.
The other sport I researched was a handball. For this game, you use your arm and throw it into the opponent’s goal. The cross bar of the goal and post must be the same material and it’s depth of 2 meters and width of 3 meters. The court is 40 by 20 meters. Each team has 7 players and passes it around for not your opponents to get the ball. Usually each team scores more than 20 goals each in 1 match. In football, you can only use your hand if you are goalkeeper but in handball, you can only use your leg if you are a goalkeeper. The first handball game started on 29th October 1917 in Berlin. It was invented in Germany at late of 19th Century. It was played in outdoors to keep football players to fit during summer Months. And it was played in 11 players. I really think that handball is a nice sport.
Boxing The act, art or profession of fighting in which two men and sometimes two women face each other in a ring, wearing padded gloves is called Boxing. The gloves are always red, but some modern fighters like to match their shorts. The two fighters must have the same weight to fight each other. The fighters face each other in rounds, which last between one and three minutes. The number of rounds depends on the level of competition. Olympic matches only have three rounds, whereas professional heavyweight fights can reach a much higher number. The number is decided before the fight begins. During each round, the fighters punch and strike each other. Holding is not allowed. A boxer wins when the other boxer is knocked over and does not get up before the referee counts to ten out loud. This is called a knock out. If there is no knock out, the scores of judges, awarded for each boxer’s performance are used to name the winner. Between the rounds there is a short break during which the boxers usually go to the corner of the ring, drink water and get advice from their trainer. Muhammad Ali is the best heavy weight ever and because of that fighter ever. Shooting For shooting you need a gun and aim at a safe target in a controlled environment. You should never shoot randomly. Protect your ears and eyes. Then you carefully pick up your gun keeping your finger on the trigger. Stand in the proper firing place. Make your front sight straight with the rear sight. Aim for the centre of your target. Slowly squeeze the trigger. Never point a gun at anyone even as a joke. Pointing a gun at someone is a crime in some states. Gun shooting became an official sport in 1871 or 1872.
100m sprint: To do 100m sprint, you have to run fastest as you can.Both woman and man can do it. It has been contasted since 1896 in summer olympics for men and 1928 for women.The best record in the whole world for it is 9.58secs for men and 10.49secs for women. It is very hard to do it. Some sprinters get injured. If you see the people who won the medals for 100m sprint, most of them are black people. They have stonger muscle than white people. I think 100m sprint is hard to do but also fun to do it. I really want to try it. I think 100m sprint is hardest sports in the world.
Water polo: To play water polo, you have to throw the ball into the goal of opponents'. Of course,in water. There are 6-7 field players and 1 goal keeper. It's a bit as same as handball.I think it is hard to play because they have to swim while they are throwing the ball.All the people that are doing water polo needs to know how to swim.I think that will be very tired because they have to swim. It's same as running while they are doing soccer. I think I can't do water polo because I can't swim very well and not good at throwing things.I think the people that are doing water polo are strong.
Judo is a sport in the olympics made by a guy called Jigoro Kano in 1882. It is a very active sport, you try to get the other person onto the ground. I was happy that i got this sport because it is very interesting.There are a bunch of moves such as the choke and the joint locker. Japan has won the most gold medals in the olympics. They have won 32 and ,in just normal life, they have won 120 gold medals. There is a United States judo association called the USJA. Judo was first included in the summer olympic games in Tokyo,Japan. Well, thank you for giving me this topic it was a lot of fun doing this and thank you for reading this!!!! From, Kara thank you
Pole vault is a track and field sport. It is when a person jumps with a long stick, flexible, over a poll up high. The olympic games, for pole vault, have been playing since 1896, for men, 2000 ,for women. There is also a sport that is called high jump and is relative to my sport. Pole vault is a hard sport to do, at least for me because there are a lot of rules and not enough space. So i am going to tell you how it is done. You run a little while and then put the stick into the ground and JUMP. Thank you for giving me this topic and it was very fun doing it. From, Kara
p.s. thank you for being nice to me and letting me do it on monday. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) ;) ;) :) :) :) :)
Badminton
ReplyDeleteBatminton was first held as a summer olympic game at the 1972.It had demonstraytion about it. Most of people wanted to be the badminton in olimpic, so badminton premiered as a proper sport game at the 1988. It was in 1992, Barcelona, Spain. It was AGAIN featuredat the 1996 olympic games in Atlanta, and has continued to be full-medal sport since then. the mixed double badminton match were included in the summer olympic gamesfor the first time in Atlanta in 1996 too. And today, everyone enjoy badminton.
Hello my sport is Javlin:
ReplyDeleteJavelin bought women and men can play it.
Ithink javelin is not right to play because you can get hurt . I think that the javel can go through your head and that is bad for your brain.
Does were not facts .
facts:
Men and women can play that game.The size, shape, minimum weight,and center of gravity of the javelin implement itself are all defined by IAAF rules. In international competition, men throw a javelin between 2.6 and 2.7 m (8 ft 6 in and 8 ft 10 in) in length and 800 g (28 oz) in weight, and women throw a javelin between 2.2 and 2.3 m (7 ft 3 in and 7 ft 7 in) in length and 600 g (21 oz) in weight. The javelin is equipped with a grip, approximately 150 mm (5.9 in) wide, made of cord and located at the javelin's center of gravity (0.9 to 1.06 m (2 ft 10 in to 3 ft 6 in) or 0.8 to 0.92 m (2 ft 7 in to 3 ft 0.2 in) from the tip of the javelin for men's and women's implements.
My second sport is : horse back riding
ReplyDeleteHorse back riding:
I think it is cool , i wish i could rida horses like that professoinals.
But you can fall down from you hors and allmost impossible you can brake your back or backside or (boom)but not as dengerous as javelin.
That was not facts
facts:
Sometimes described as “horse ballet,” dressage comes from a French word that literally means “training.” According to the United States Dressage Federation , the purpose of the sport is “to develop the horse’s natural athletic ability and willingness to work, making him calm, supple, and attentive to his rider.” Competitive dressage consists of nine progressive levels of training with a series of tests required to advance to a higher one. The highest level is the Grand Prix, which is practiced at the Olympics. A dressage competition takes place in an entirely flat and rectangular arena. Upon entering, the riders travel down a central line and then stop for a salute. During the salute, the horse must be completely still. The actual competition consists of the horse and rider completing a series of movements from memory. Movements like the walk, trot, and canter are included in all competitions. Twelve lettered markers are placed around the railing of the course, and they indicate where to start or finish a movement and where changes of pace should take place. Judges award each movement a score between 0 and 10, and whoever has the highest total score wins.
One of the sports that I researched was tennis. To play tennis you have to hit the ball with a racket over the other side, where your opponent is. It is played with two or four players seperated equally on either side of the court, with a long net going across in the middle. You get a point if your opponent hits the ball off-limits. It is played in sets. The tennis ball is green and has two lines curving along it. Tennis has been an olympic sport since 1896. The people who have won the most gold medals in tennis at the olympics are Reginard Doherty(GB)for men and Venus Williams(USA)for women, both with three. I think that tennis is a great sport.
ReplyDeleteMy other Olympic sport was Gymnastics. There are 3 kinds of gymnastics, Artistic gymnastics, Rhythmic gymnastics and Trampoline. Gymnastics have been at every sumer Olympics since 1896 in Athens, Greece. During the first 32 years only men were allowed to compete but in the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam women were allowed to compete in Artistic competitions as well. Rhythmic gymnastics were introduced in the 1984 summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Trampoline was introduced at the 2000 summer Olympics in Sydney,Australia. I love gymnastics because I feel free when I do it.
DeleteCANOE
ReplyDeleteCanoe slalom on whitewater started on 11 September 1932 in Switzerland, it is one of the most spectacular watersports, demanding skill and courage. The aim is to run a rapid river course, marked by "gates" fast, and without touching anything.A "gate" is two poles, suspended over the water. Green and white gates are held in a downstream direction, red and white gates upstream.
You have to pass through all the gates in the right number order, and in the right direction - red ones up stream, green ones down stream. If you touch a pole with anything - paddle, boat, helmet or any part of your body - a 2 second penalty is added to your time. If you miss a gate out, or go through in the wrong direction or upside down, the penalty is 50 seconds! - a wipeout in serious competition! A canoe is a small narrow boat, barely weighing 9 kilos, ( while YOU weigh at least 40 kilos), The canoes of today are made from many materials, including aluminum, fiber glass, plastic, carbon fiber, wood and even bark. there is only a tiny room for you to fit in, thats means, you can't go sleep on it or bronze on it in every positions you like, it would be VERY incomfortable! I think Canoe slalom is a very, very difficult sport, what is your canoe turns upside down?

The first sport I needed to research was BMX riding. To do BMX you need to have a BMX; It is a sort of freestyle bycicle wich is used on bumpy and jumpy surfaces. With a BMX you can do a lot of crazy things like a back somersault. The first people who started to do BMX were the USA in California in the 1960s but this discipline is quite recent in the Olympics games. As this summer in London, it will be the second time that it is an olympical sport. In the men's competition there are to 32 competitors to 48. And in the women's competition there are 16 women. In the Londons 2012 olympics the length track for Men will be 470 meters and for women it will be 430 meters. From my personal point of view, to be a really good BMX rider you need to be really coordinated because imagine you are in the air after you jumped and you are scared to fall down then you let go the handlebar then you could brake bones. Therefor I do not want to be a BMX rider. It is a rery dangerous activity.
ReplyDeleteThe other sport that I researched about was swimming. Swimming is a sport where you use your the body, sometimes flippers or boards, to move the body through the water. In the olympics there are 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m Freestyle and more. The main styles of swimming in the olympics are Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststoke and Freestyle but there are more. The olympic swimming pool is 50m(164ft) in length, 25m(82ft) in width and 2.0m(6ft7in) in depth at the minimum. It consists of 10 lanes, each 2.5m(8ft2in) wide. The water temperature ranges from 25–28 °C (77–82 °F). Swimming has been an olympic sport since 1896, and has been one ever since. The person who has won the most gold medals in swimming at the olympics is Michael Phelps with 14 gold medals for men and Jenny Thompson with 8 gold medals for women. Michael Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics with 8. I think that swimming is a good and healthy sport.
ReplyDeletefirst sport that I got was badminton. The rule is the players hit a chuttlecock over the net into their opponents' half. The aim is to score points by playing a shuttlecock so that it can not be returned over the net with in the boundary lines. Olympic shuttlecocks weight is between 4.74 grams and 5.5 grams and contain 16 feathers, each plucked from the left wing of a goose. They can travel at speeds in excess of 400km/h. The singles court is 13.4 m long and 5.18 m wide, the doubles court is 13.4 m long and 6.1 m wide. The court is devided in to half perfectly by a 1.55 high net. Badminton made its full olympic debut at Barcelona, 1992. Asian countries now dominate: China, Indonesia and Korea have won 23 of the 24 gold medals awarded since the sport's first appearance at the games. Learning about sports is fun. Mio
ReplyDeleteSynchronized Swimming is a fabulous sport which you dance in the water. This sport is a team sport and you do not do it individualy. Instead, you do it in a group. There is no specific number you have to be in. This sport is all about dancing in the same tempo and together. it would not look as beautiful if everything isn't together. You do many different positions such as the Flamingo, Bent Knee, Split and the Torpedo. The Flamingo is a position where you float in the water and put one of your leg up as straight as you can while bending your knee. The Torpedo is when you float in the water while your legs and arm are together beside your body. The Bent Knee is a position where you bend one knee while putting the other leg staight and flat onto the water. The Split is when you do the split in the water while doing a handstand. Overall, I think this is an elegant and excellent sport.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the sports that i did some research on and it is javelin. How javelin works is you cary a long and pointy stick not really a stick (batten) it is beetween 2.6 m and 2.7 m.
ReplyDeleteJavelin throwers are provided with a runway 4 m (13 ft) wide and at least 30 m (98 ft) in length, ending in a curved arc from which their throw will be measured; athletes typically use this distance to gain momentum in a "run-up" to their throw. Like the other throwing events, the competitor may not leave the throwing area (the runway) until after the implement lands. The need to come to a stop behind the throwing arc limits both how close the athlete can come to the line before the release as well as the maximum speed achieved at the time of release.
The best took the silver at last year's World Championships in Daegu.
how to win in javelin is The longest single throw during the final wins.
I think javelin is dengerous because if you are one of the people standing in the field and they throw the javeling it can enter your and that is bad for your brains.
Javelin is cool but hard and the possibility of dieng.
Did you know that the javelin was redesigned so that it traveled shorter distances and this As a result, winning javelin throws at the Olympic Games are now approximately 15 meters (about 49 ft.) less than before the new javelin was introduced.
Secend sport I got was triathlon. Triathlon races combine swimming, cycling and running, in that order. Events are conducted over a variety of distance: for the olympic games, the men's and women's triathlon will consist of a 1500 m ( 1.5 km ) swim, a 43 km bike ride and 10 km run. The race is completed from start to finish, with no breaks. The transitions between the swim, the bike and the run are part of the race. Crucial seconds can be gained or lost in the transition area. More than half a million spectators lined the Sydney streets to watch the first ever olympic triathlon at the 2000 games. The six triathlon events held since the sport's olympic debut have been won by athletes from six different countries: Canada and Switzerland in 2000, New Zealand and Austria in 2004 and Germany and Australia in 2008. If I do triathlon, I will be horrible. But I think the people doing triathlon is very strong.
ReplyDeleteThe other sport i did some research on is horse back riding.
ReplyDeleteHorse back riding is awsome and fun.imangy how to ride a horse that good. It disappeared until 1912, but has appeared at every Summer Olympic Games since. The current Olympic equestrian disciplines are Dressage, Eventing, and Jumping. In each discipline, both individual and team medals are awarded.Equestrian disciplines and the equestrian component of Modern Pentathlon are also the only Olympic events that involve animals. The horse is considered as much an athlete as the rider.
Riders are required by the FEI to be a minimum of 16 years old. All horses must be at least 7. There is no maximum age.
The best is :
1 Germany (GER) 21 10 11 42
I think to win you have to train your horse well and be excellent at making it turn,jump etc .
Did you know the equestrian dressage competition is one of the only Olympic events in which men and women compete directly against each other. Until 1952 though, only male commissioned military officers were allowed to compete in the event.
The second sport I needed to research was Fencing. The first people who started Fencing were the Grecs. It is also a sport for a women. In 1900 in the olympic games of Paris Ramon Fonst won the men championship. The first one who touches 15 times the other wins. There is 3 rounds of three minutes if in the three rounds they don't reach the 15 touch then it's the on who had the more touchs who wins. There is three types of weapons one of them is called the sword another one is called the sabre and the last one is called the fleuret. They have a sort of white close,this is used because when they touch eachother there is like a cord behind them wich when they touch eachother they can know if they really touched eachother.
ReplyDelete1st sport that I researched was: Shot put. And the Shot put is basically: throwing the Shot long us we can. But the Shot is extremely heavy. It's 7.25 kg! So you will probably say: "Wow that's heavy. But how can we throw that heavy metal ball?" The problem is very simple. We just need 2 scientific things to throw this heavy Shot: centrifugal force and centripetal force.The centrifugal force is the force that makes the things move outwards and centripetal force is the force to don't make a things outwards. For instance, if we connect the rock and the short rope then pick the top of rope and then spin it, rock will want to go outwards. And that is the centrifugal force. But the rock can not go outwards because you are holding the rope. And that is the centripetal force.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the Sot put is using those forces too. We put the Shot next to the neck then we spin to get the centrifugal force and then we throw the Shot. There is many scientific things that we can find in the sport. Isn't it amazing?
Track Cycling is one of the sports which are played at the Olympic game. Track Cycling is a bicycle racing sport. It has been around since at least 1870. There are 10 Olympic Track Cycling events (five for men, five for women),which between them test speed, endurance and teamwork. Track Cycling racing is usually held on specially built banked tracks by using track bicycles. The race takes place over 40 kilometers for men and 25 kilometers for women. I like this sport because it uses power as well as a teamwork to play this game. Track Cycling does not only make you fun but also makes your legs stronger.
ReplyDeleteOne of the sports that i researched was weightlifting. Weightlifting is a sport where you have to lift weights. There are 2 events in weight lifting, Snatch and Clean and Jerk. To Clean is to lift the weight and lift it up to your clavicle. To Jerk is to lift the weight a little more over your head. The aim of the game is to hold the weight for 3 seconds. If the other person lifts the weight for 3 seconds too they both have to try to carry a heavier weight for 3 seconds. To win you have to be the one who can carry the heaviest weight. The first weightlifting competition in the Olympics was held in 1896 in Athens,Greece. I think that weightlifting is a cool sport but i also think that it is a little dangerous.
ReplyDeleteWrestling is one of the most well – known sports. Also, it is one of the oldest sports. In the past, Wrestling was the number one sport of the Olympic Games because people liked to fight. The ancient Romans borrowed heavily from Greek wrestling, but they cut the bad things that were cruel. In my opinion, the Romans would have more fun than the Greek. Wrestling is a form of fighting sport. Wrestling is a sport using the techniques such as throwing, takedowns, grappling holds and clinch fighting. The real wrestling is the one that used to play at the Olympics not the one that we watched on television. I like this sport because we can use power and brains. We have to concentrate on the techniques in order to win the opponent.
ReplyDeleteDiving is a spot which you do in the water, but you do not swim. Instead, you jump from a platform or a springboard which is placed in a very high place, and you jump into the water while making a shape, or position with your body. For example, Straight, Tuck, Pike and Free. The Straight is the hardest in these four and it is when all your body has no bends and is perfectly straight. The Tuck is the easiest of the four and is when you hold your body up in a ball. The Pike is when your knees are straight yet your hips or slightly bent. Finally, Free is when it indicates a twisting dive, but the diver can arrange it slightly. These positions are divided more complicated by using numbers and a letter. A is Straight, B is Pike, C is Tuck, and D is free. I think this sport is a great sport but I think Synchronized Swimming is a better sport because it is all "synchronized".
ReplyDeleteHammer throw is one of the throwing events in track and field. Only adults that can play this game, men and women. In this throwing competition, the competitors have to throw a metal ball attached to a wire, and anyone who throws the ball the farthest wins. The men's hammer weighs 7.257 kg and the women's hammer weighs 4 kg. The world record for men's hammer throw was held by Yuriy Sedykh (URS). His record was 86.74 metres and for women's hammer throw was hld by Betty Heidler (GER) who threw 79.42 metres. They are the best throwers of all time.
ReplyDeleteTriple Jump
ReplyDeleteTriple jump, known also as "hop, step and jump" is a track and field event in the Olympic games. You run as fast as you can down the track, and preform a hop, a bound and then jump into the sand. The Triple jump came from the Ancient Olympics. Triple jump started in Olympia in 1896. The current male and female world record holders are Jonathan Edwards of Great Britain, with a jump of 18.29 metres, and Inessa Kravets of Ukraine, with a jump of 15.5 metres. The first gold medalist in the Modern Olympics was James Connolly of the United States in the triple jump in the 1896 Games in Athens.
high jump is one of the jumping events in track and field. The competitors must jump over a bar placed at measured heights. The winner is the person who cleared the highest height. There are various techniques to jump over the bar: The scissors technique, the Western roll technique and the Eastern cut- off. High jump was included in the Modern Olympic Games in 1896. The athlete with most medals is Javier Sotomayor from Cuba with the total of 13 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 1 bronze medal. He is also the record holder for men's high jump and for women's high jump record is held by Stefka Kostadinova from Bulgaria.
ReplyDeleteOne of my sports was Taekwondo.Taekwondo is a national sport of South Korea and it has no age limits and is a very good sport for children.But competition rules are a bit different for children then they are for adults.To play Taekwondo you have to fight with another person.You get 1 point for punching person's head or the body,2 points for kicking the body and 3 points for kicking the head.
ReplyDeleteTaekwondo was the world's most popular martial art in terms of number of practitioners.And also,taekwondo is often translated as 'the way of hand and foot'.It looks dangerous but it is not very dangerous to practise Taekwondo.I think Taekwondo is a interesting sport.
Hammer throw is one of the throwing events in track and field. Only adults that can play this game, men and women. In this throwing competition, the competitors have to throw a metal ball attached to a wire, and anyone who throws the ball the farthest wins. The men's hammer weighs 7.257 kg and the women's hammer weighs 4 kg. The world record for men's hammer throw was held by Yuriy Sedykh(URS). His record was 86.74 metres and for the world record for women's hammer throw was held by Betty Heidler(GER) who threw 79.42 metres. They are the best throwers of all time.
ReplyDeleteThe other sport which I was given was Archery.It is a sport which you use an arrow and a bow.Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat, while in modern times, its main use is that of a recreational activity.Archers are divided into seniors and juniors, with juniors being those under the age of 18.Archery competitions may be held indoors or outdoors. Indoor rounds are normally shot at one distance, whereas outdoor competitions normally consist of several distances.All competitors must wait for the command to start shooting from the field captain. The signal is one whistle.The archers are not allowed to collect their arrows whilst other archers are shooting.I have never played archery,so I want to play it once.
ReplyDeleteOne of the sports I had to research was field hockey. Field hockey is a sport in which you run around and try and hit a ball into a goal with a hockey stick. There are 8 players on each side. The teams must score as many goals as they can. The time for the game is divided equally into 35 minutes each with 15 minutes for half time. In this game there are no fixed positions but they arrange themselves like in football with the defense and the attack players and a goalkeeper. Some of the famous field hockey players are Trevor Manning, Richard Allen and Florian Keller.
ReplyDeleteOne other sport I had to type about was long jump. Long jump is a sport in which you have to run and then jump as far as you can. In order to do this sport you must have the speed, strength and agility in order to do the sport. This sport is a track and field event. This event has been a medal to the Olympics since the first modern Olympics in 1896. Some of the most famous athletes were Carl Lewis, Mike Powell and Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
ReplyDeleteMy first sport is volleyball. This sport requires a lot of teamwork. There are about twelve players on each team. There is a net that separates the court in the middle with six players on each side of the court. This sport was invented in 1895 by William Morgan which makes it 117 years old. The first ball for the game was designed in 1900. Now volleyball is played all around the world. It became an Olympic sport in 1964. This is how the points work, if the team serves or hits the ball over the net and it goes out of bounds then the other team gets a point. The other team also gets a point if the ball does not go over the net. If the ball hits the ground in the court then you get a point. If your interested in this passage maybe you should think about joining your school's volleyball team. If you do, good luck!
ReplyDeleteMy next sport is kayaking. I don't know a lot about kayaking so I will be learning with you about it. Basically kayaking is where you are in a kayak, which is a boat, and you are paddling with a double bladed paddle. Here are some materials that are used to make kayaks: fiberglass, fabric, metal, wood, and plastic.
There are different types of kayaking. For example, white water kayaking is where you kayak in rapids or waterfalls. There is also
sea kayaking where you kayak in the sea. Kayaking is not only a sport it also can be for fishing,diving,exploring wildlife and rescues during floods. When I was a little girl I went kayaking with my father.I cant remember this moment but my father can. If I could choose one type of kayaking to do I would pick whitewater kayaking. What would you pick? I hope you have liked this passage about kayaking.
I have had the pleasure of researching information about the marathon.The marathon is a long-distance running event in the Olympics.It has been in the Olympics since the start of the games (1896).You have to run 42.195 kilometers to reach the finish line.You must have a lot of endurance to finish a marathon.Most people do not care if they win or not they just want to finish it.There are running marathons,wheel chair marathons,swimming marathons,walking marathons and many more.This event got its name from the Greek of The Battle of Marathon.The Greek soldier,Phieliedepies ran from Athens to Marathon several times and at the end he dropped down dead.The best two countries in the world in my opinion are Kenya and Ethiopia.I really like the marathon and how it has a real past history with this soldier.I also like how it honeres this heroic soldier.When I am older I would like to take part in a marathon and finish it.In 2010 5000 people in th e USA finished the marathon.It challenges and pushes people to go over their limits wich is another thing I like about it.
ReplyDeleteThe second sport I had a lot of fun researching is rowing.It is an Olympic sport where athletes race on rivers,lake and oceans all depending on the type of race.The boats are pushed by oars,wich are held by oater locks that athlethes push,that push against the water.You have to learn many different technics to be a professional rower.Overall fitness is very important too.It is also one of the oldest sports in the Olympics.In the United states it is sometimes called crew.In rowing races the athletes sit on the boat backwards and use the oars to advance.This sport requires strong balance,force and even more endurance.It takes years to get ready.There many different disciplines having to do with rowing.There is time trials,stake racing,Bumps racing and the side by side one used in the Olympics.Rowing is a very hard sport which takes years of training.If you want to be a rower start training now(it is too late for you Mr.May).
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd sport was sailing. And this game is basically: 'Who will arrive to finish line first with sailing the boat?' And I will explain the way to play the sailing.
ReplyDeleteThey have some minutes before they start the game. When starter gun shoots, they have to start sailing fast as they can.
The country that has got the most gold medals is England, 24 gold medals. The countries that haven't got any gold medal are Canada, Portugal, Russia, Japan, Ireland, etc... The country that has got the most silver medals is America, 23 silver medals. The countries that haven't got any silver medal are Israel, Bahamas, Poland, Estonia, Hungary, etc... The country that has got the most bronze medals is America , 17 bronze medals. Finally, the countries that haven't got any bronze medal Austria, Hong Kong, Cuba, Ireland, etc...
1 of the sport I researched was football. As you can see from the name of the sport, you can a use your foot, head and body but not your hand. To play football, you need 11 people in one team. You need defenders, who need to defend from people attacking, midfielders who need to pass or score, forward who tries to score. And also you need a goalkeeper to stop a goal from the people scoring. And how you can play it is that in 2 teams, you have to make ball that's normally 2.27kg and which has 22 cm of diameter, go into the goal which has 2.44 meters high and 7.32 meters wide. It is known in all the countries around the World. People say that sport like a football started in China during 2nd and 3rd century BC. In China, that the people dribbled the leather ball and kicked it into net. There is also a fact that in Rome and Greek used to play with a ball for fun. And also, at Japan, kicking a ball was a popular sport. I felt that football is a nice sport.
ReplyDeleteSteeple Chase
ReplyDeleteSteeple Chase is a track and field event where there are four barriers and one water jump where it has 3000m. Each runer must clear a total of 28 barriers and sevent water jumps. The water jump is located on the back turn, either inside the inner lane or outside the outer lane. If it is on the outside, then each of the seven laps is longer than the standard 400 m, and the starting point is on the home straight. If the water jump is on the inside, each lap is shorter than 400 m, the starting point is on the back straight, and the water jump is byassed at the start. The best country in Steeple chase is moustly Kenya. Moses Kiptanui is the best runner for now in Steeple chase in 2012. The Steeple chase started at Olympia at 1860. I think steeple chase is a great event.
The other sport I researched was a handball. For this game, you use your arm and throw it into the opponent’s goal. The cross bar of the goal and post must be the same material and it’s depth of 2 meters and width of 3 meters. The court is 40 by 20 meters. Each team has 7 players and passes it around for not your opponents to get the ball. Usually each team scores more than 20 goals each in 1 match. In football, you can only use your hand if you are goalkeeper but in handball, you can only use your leg if you are a goalkeeper. The first handball game started on 29th October 1917 in Berlin. It was invented in Germany at late of 19th Century. It was played in outdoors to keep football players to fit during summer Months. And it was played in 11 players. I really think that handball is a nice sport.
ReplyDeleteBoxing
ReplyDeleteThe act, art or profession of fighting in which two men and sometimes two women face each other in a ring, wearing padded gloves is called Boxing. The gloves are always red, but some modern fighters like to match their shorts. The two fighters must have the same weight to fight each other. The fighters face each other in rounds, which last between one and three minutes. The number of rounds depends on the level of competition. Olympic matches only have three rounds, whereas professional heavyweight fights can reach a much higher number. The number is decided before the fight begins. During each round, the fighters punch and strike each other. Holding is not allowed. A boxer wins when the other boxer is knocked over and does not get up before the referee counts to ten out loud. This is called a knock out. If there is no knock out, the scores of judges, awarded for each boxer’s performance are used to name the winner. Between the rounds there is a short break during which the boxers usually go to the corner of the ring, drink water and get advice from their trainer. Muhammad Ali is the best heavy weight ever and because of that fighter ever.
Shooting
For shooting you need a gun and aim at a safe target in a controlled environment. You should never shoot randomly. Protect your ears and eyes. Then you carefully pick up your gun keeping your finger on the trigger. Stand in the proper firing place. Make your front sight straight with the rear sight. Aim for the centre of your target. Slowly squeeze the trigger. Never point a gun at anyone even as a joke. Pointing a gun at someone is a crime in some states. Gun shooting became an official sport in 1871 or 1872.
100m sprint: To do 100m sprint, you have to run fastest as you can.Both woman and man can do it. It has been contasted since 1896 in summer olympics for men and 1928 for women.The best record in the whole world for it is 9.58secs for men and 10.49secs for women. It is very hard to do it. Some sprinters get injured. If you see the people who won the medals for 100m sprint, most of them are black people. They have stonger muscle than white people. I think 100m sprint is hard to do but also fun to do it. I really want to try it. I think 100m sprint is hardest sports in the world.
ReplyDeleteWater polo: To play water polo, you have to throw the ball into the goal of opponents'. Of course,in water. There are 6-7 field players and 1 goal keeper. It's a bit as same as handball.I think it is hard to play because they have to swim while they are throwing the ball.All the people that are doing water polo needs to know how to swim.I think that will be very tired because they have to swim. It's same as running while they are doing soccer.
ReplyDeleteI think I can't do water polo because I can't swim very well and not good at throwing things.I think the people that are doing water polo are strong.
judo
ReplyDeleteJudo is a sport in the olympics made by a guy called Jigoro Kano in 1882.
It is a very active sport, you try to get the other person onto the ground.
I was happy that i got this sport because it is very interesting.There are
a bunch of moves such as the choke and the joint locker. Japan has won
the most gold medals in the olympics. They have won 32 and ,in just
normal life, they have won 120 gold medals. There is a United States judo
association called the USJA. Judo was first included in the summer olympic
games in Tokyo,Japan. Well, thank you for giving me this topic it was a lot
of fun doing this and thank you for reading this!!!!

Pole Vault
ReplyDeletePole vault is a track and field sport. It is when a person jumps
with a long stick, flexible, over a poll up high. The olympic
games, for pole vault, have been playing since 1896, for men,
2000 ,for women. There is also a sport that is called high jump
and is relative to my sport. Pole vault is a hard sport to do, at
least for me because there are a lot of rules and not enough
space. So i am going to tell you how it is done. You run a little
while and then put the stick into the ground and JUMP. Thank
you for giving me this topic and it was very fun doing it.
