In Russia a lot of people go in for sports. It is very important for people to have some regular exercises. Doing sports prevents us from getting too fat and helps to stay healthy. A lot of people try to find time to go to a swimming pool or a gym at least once a week for aerobics, yoga classes, bodybuilding or workout on a treadmill. “Physical Education” is a subject on the curriculum of schools and universities. You can hardly find a school or a college without a gym or sports grounds. Sports facilities are available at any university or other higher educational establishments. A lot of pupils are trained in sports schools which are run by the major sports clubs.
Many sports are popular in our country. They are: football, hockey, basketball, volleyball, tennis, skiing, figure skating, wrestling, shooting and many others. All water sports are widely spread in our country, including swimming, diving, sailing and water skiing. Some people are fond of extreme sports such as rock climbing, potholing and white-water rafting.
Sports in Russia have traditionally been divided into amateur and professional. That’s why there are different sporting societies and clubs in the country. Many of them take part in different international tournaments. For many people professional sport is a possibility to see the whole world and acquire a lot of friends. What is more, sportsmen represent their country and provide a role model for healthy lifestyle. A great number of world records have been set by Russian sportsmen: gymnasts, weightlifters, tennis players, swimmers, figure skaters, runners, high jumpers. Our sportsmen take part in the Olympic Games and always win a lot of gold, silver and bronze medals. The names of E. Plyushchenko, M. Sharapova, A. Nemov, A. Arshavin and I. Kovalchuk are famous all over the world.
But despite the increase in the number of people participating in sports, the majority of them still prefer to be spectators. Thousands of people go to the stadiums to support their favourite teams and sportsmen. Most of the important competitions are telecast and people enjoy watching programmes on TV. But certainly watching sports events and going in for sports are two different things.
