I think it depends on people. Some people are happy to take a part in some sport, but some people are happy only it they win.I think most players play to win. This is a whole point of a game. I do not participate in any sport, but sometimes I watch football. I don't have favorite players,I just enjoy watching the game.I usually watch Olympic Games.They are always interesting. In my country the most famous sport is a football. Many people and children play it in parks or fields. This year Olympic Games is in my country,Ukraine. I wish I can go there.

Winning is more important in sports. Soccer and Volley ball games are the most important events of the year in my country. I like to watch soccer because soccer is my favorite sport. It isn’t hard but you must have some talent, passion and you must play with heart so you can win. I like to play soccer and my favorite players are Christiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. They are the best players in the world. In the summer, the 2012 Olympic Games will be held in London, England. I like boxing too and it will be included in the Olympic Games. This sport will have about 10 sets of medals awarded to athletes. Most people in my country prefer to play soccer in a stadium, in a park, on the street or anywhere they can play.

On Ukraine on of the most popular sports is soccer. This is my favorite also. My favorite player is Andriy Shevchenko. He plays on Olympic games. His team won the Olympics before a gold medal. They won not once before and not one team. He plays forward and he scores lots of goals. He is the best player on the hole team. The plays perfect.

I think the sport is important uastie and victory. I am not very interested in sports news. The only thing that attracts me the news, it's news about boxing. And just because I like the Klitschko brothers. Soon, his older brother, Vitali, will fight. In my country, professional sports, it is very difficult. Because the economic situation of the country's plight. But mostly people like to deal with the dispute.

I think the more important part in the sport that winning, but it is confusing to people. I'm not an addict to the sport. In our country the most important sport is football and boxing. I watch boxing only because I like the Klitschko brothers. I think that if you want to play sports, it would be possible. Many years ago, I was dancing, but I do not have a favorite player. I looked at the Olympics in the year, and I have no idea where they can spend next time. In my country there are many people who play sports, as well as a lot of people who like to watch TV and play computer.

I think physical activity is more important than professional sport or winning. It’s good for health. Second, a lot of people can not do it. Unfortunately, athletes often use prohibited drugs for winning in modern sport. It’s very bad for health. In my country will be the European soccer championship. Ukrainian team is involved in it. This is a big event in my country. The championship will start in summer time. I will watch it .I like to play and to watch professional soccer. My favorite player is Andrei Shevchenko. He is forward and very famous person in the world. When, I was younger I often played in soccer with my friends in my country. I had a lot of activity and fun. Also, a lot of people like to box in my country. Brothers Klychko are very famous Ukrainian punchers in the world. Unfortunately, a box isn’t interesting for me. In finally, people have a lot of places and sports area for a simple physical activity in my country.

Just taking part is not enough, winning is the main target. I know, most people say that to participate is important, and I agree, but to win is the supreme desire. In my country, the most important event in the sporting is the soccer championship, but not for me. My favorite sport competition is gymnastic. My favorite player is Nadia Comaneci. She is retired but she was the best. Next Olympic Games will be in Russia. I don’t like boxing. I think boxing is a primitive sport, but a lot of people like it and this game is already included in the Olympic Games. In my country, unfortunately, new generation, prefers to play computer games then to does sport.

In my opinion, winning is more important in sport. In my country u Ukraine is the most important events in the sporting calendar is footbool games. Also we like swimming and running games. I like to watch swimming sport because I like to watch on beautiful, strong bodies. It is easy to take part in sport in Ukraine. For example, every factory have special sports sektions for people who want to take sport.In my country I did swimming sport.I think the next Olympic Games will be held in Ukraine, in summer 2012. It will Footbol Olympic Games! I don't like boxing.It should not be included in Footbol Olympic Games in Ukraine because it will be only Footbool. In my country people do enough sport. Also they like watch TV after it and play computer games, but only after sports or their jobs. For example, they use Gums or Pools for do sports.

I think that everyone has a different preference when it comes to sports. I like playing sports for fun because teamwork and fun is more important than winning. In Taiwan, everyone enjoys the Olympics. I watch it sometimes because it is interesting. In Taiwan, I would play basketball for fun. A lot of people are tall so it’s hard to play. In America I especially love watching Jeremy since he’s an amazing prodigy from humble beginnings. The Olympics will be held in London. No, I don’t like boxing and I don’t think it should be in the Olympics as a sport. Most people in Taiwan prefer to play video games and computer games but just as many people enjoy sports. It’s all about preference.

I rather like to watch sport than plays. In my country, we didn't have any special sport events because we were living up in the mountains. The only thing that we have been doing is to throw ball to each other on the New year's day. For example: if a girl likes a boy she will asks him to throw ball with her. or if the boy likes the girl he will do the same thing to the girl. So that wasn't a sport events or a competition, but only a custom. The parents like to come and spy on their children to see if my boy can find a beautiful girl or the other hand for the girls too. Why? Because, we were had a tradition that for the boys whose like their girls have to respect them. If a boy like a girl, he will wait until the girl's parent are completely sleeping before he can go to see her.They will have to do communications with whisper only. So that completely wasn't a sport back there in my country. For myself personally I like football,soccer, and basketball, but the most I prefer is football.

The sport in my country that is very important is Soccer and Baseball. The soccer has two times calendar year and Baseball just one time. I don't like to much these sports but sometimes I watch because my family love soccer special the final games’ like gymnastics and synchronized swimming. The next Olympic Games are an England. I don't like boxing. The people like watch any event in live because is exiting. Mexico has too many fanatics sometimes is dangerous, I prefer watch the games in home.

The most important thing in sport is spirit and attitude. Winning feels good but its not always about winning, its how you played and how much heart you put in the sport. I watch and play soccer for over ten years, so i know how its like to win or how to lose. My country loves soccer and it always will. The new Olympics should be held in San Diego because it has such beautiful weather. I think everyone should think twice about their life style and have at least thirty minutes of exercise everyday instead of sitting around gaining weight. Not only would you feel better about yourself but your health condition decreases rapidly so its your choice, get active!
