They say, "Health is above wealth". Thousands of people consider sports to be very helpful
in gaining good health. That's why every country pays much attention to developing sports. It
is sport that helps to bring up physically strong, strong-willed, courageous and energetic
people.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find time forgoing in for sports regularly. People have
become too busy nowadays. There are quite a number of people who prefer watching sporting
events rather than taking part in them. They are so-called sportfans. They pack stadiums
during sport matches and competitions, they sit glued to the TV, and they are ready to give
every moral support to their favourite sportsmen or teams.
In the meantime thousands of people devote their spare time to going in for sports. They
play indoor and outdoor games: volleyball, basketball, table-tennis, hockey, law-tennis. The
number of participants and spectators show that the most popular games are basketball,
hockey and, of course, football. A lot of people go in for track-and-field athletics, cycling,
boxing, wrestling, gymnastics and so on.

Hockey, figure skating, skiing and skating are among the most popular winter sports. In
summer swimming is enjoyed by millions of people. There are also many indoor swimming
pools, which make swimming possible all the year round. Cycling is useful exercise, too,
because it takes you out into the fresh air and gives much work to all the muscles. So if you
arrange your day correctly you can find an opportunity for sports.
