WIMBLEDON
Wimbledon is a famous stadium not only in Britain but all over the world. It has a
long history. First it was a tennis club with a stadium not far from London.
Then after the first Tennis Championship in 1877 it became the popular place for
people who love tennis. In 1900s sportsmen from different countries came to the
tennis Championship at Wimbledon. Later these competitions got the name
Wimbledon tournament. It is a great honour to take part in this tournament for any
tennis player.
Now it is a large sport building with several courts and a museum, art galleries
and shops, a huge library and a bank.
The modern club is quite choosy about its members. In the present time, only 400
people are the members of the Wimbledon tennis club.
WEMBLEY STADIUM
The original Wembley Stadium, known as Empire Stadium, was a football
stadium in Wembley Park, a suburb of north-west London. Now there is the new
Wembley Stadium. It was opened in 2007.
The old stadium was first opened for public on the 28
th
of April 1923. It was built
for the British Empire Exhibition of 1924. They were going to demolish the stadium at
the end of the Exhibition. But then they decided to use the stadium for football.
The ground was used for football since 1880s. In 1934, the Empire Pool was built
nearby. The ―Wembley Stadium Collection‖ is held by the National Football Museum.
You can see the main football matches at this stadium.

A FOOTBALL MATCH
There are some sports that you can do all the year round. You can play tennis,
volley-ball or basketball. You can also go swimming. If you don‘t do any sport you
can go jogging or do morning exercises.
I am a football fan. I like to watch football matches on TV. Once I saw a very
interesting game at the stadium. It was my summer holiday so I was free. It was rather
difficult to get a ticket but my father managed to buy two tickets and he took me to
watch that interesting game.
The match was Spartak-Zenit. It began at 1 p.m. At half past one Spartak scored a
goal. At a quarter to two it was half time and the teams went to rest during the break.
The score was one- nil to Spartak and we were very upset because we were fans
of Zenit.
The second time began at 2 p.m. Every team wanted to win. They play risky
game. At a quarter past two a Zenit player passed the ball and another player scored a
goal. Spartak goalkeeper couldn‘t do anything and the ball was in the gate.
There were a lot of attacks but when the match was finished, it was one all. I think
it was wonderful game!

cold and rainy our P.E. lessons are held outside at our school stadium. Different sports
competitions are held in our school. I always take part in them. It‘s very interesting and
exciting. P.E. is one of my favourite lessons.

As an aristocrat, Coubertin had a number of career ways, including roles in the
military or politics. But he chose a career as an intellectual, studying and later writing
on a broad range of topics, including education, history, literature and sociology.
He was interested in education, and he focused on physical education and the role
of sport on schooling.
As a historian and a thinker on education, he romanticized ancient Greece.
When he began to develop his theory of physical education, he looked to the
example of the ancient Greeks.
Some historians describe Coubertin as the initiator of the modern Olympic
movement, a man whose vision and political skill led to the revival of the Olympic
games.
He wrote letters to the governments of many countries with the invitation to take
part in the Congress.
The Congress was held on June 23,1894 at the Sorbonne, Paris. A Greek
participant, Demetrius Vikelas, was chosen to head the commission on the Olympics,
and later become the first President of the International Olympic Committee. They set
the date and place for the first modern Olympic Games, the 1896 Summer Olympics in
Athens, Greece and the second, the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. The modern
Olympic movement was officially born.
Coubertin took over the IOC presidency when Demetrius Vikelas stepped down
after the Olympics in his country. The Olympic movement faced hard times, as the
1900 and 1904 Games received little attention. The 1906 Summer Olympics revived
the momentum, and the Olympic Games became the world‘s most important sports
event. Coubertin created the modern pentathlon for the 1912 Olympics and stepped
down from his IOC presidency after the 1924 Olympics in Paris. He remained
Honorary President of the IOC until he died in 1937 in Geneva, Switzerland.
He was buried in Lausanne, the seat of the IOC, although, in accordance with his
will, his heart was buried separately in a monument near the ruins of ancient Olympia.
Coubertin won the gold medal for literature at the 1912 Summer Olympics for his
poem ―Ode to Sport‖.

Curling is a Scottish game. At first people played on the ice of frozen lakes with
the pieces of rocks. It was in the 16th century. The game began to spread to other
countries.
Now there are 40 National Federations of this game. Curling is very popular in
Canada, the USA, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Australia.
The stone is round. The weight of the stone is 44 pounds or 19.96 kilograms.
The players have special equipment for polishing ice. The aim is to throw the
stone as closer as possible to the fixed place.
In the 19

century curling-clubs were opened in Russia, but the game didn‘t
become popular in our country because of the First World War and the revolution.
The first modern curling-club was opened in Saint-Petersburg in 1991.
In 1992 the Curling Federation of Russia became the member of the National
Olympic Committee.
Curling became the Olympic kind of sport at the Olympic Games in Nagano,

SPORT AND A HEALTHY MODE OF LIFE.
Sport is very important in our life. It is popular among young and old people.
A lot of people do morning exercises, jog in the morning, train themselves in
clubs, in different sections and take part in sport competitions.
Other people like sports too, but they prefer watching sports games, listen to
sports news. They enjoy reading interesting stories about sportsmen. But they don‘t go
in for sports.
Physical Education is an important subject at school. Students have got three PE
lessons a week. Boys and girls play volleyball and basketball at the lessons and do
different exercises. If the weather is fine they can run and jump, play football in the
open air. There is a special sports-ground almost near every school.
A lot of different competitions are held at schools and a great number of students
take part in them. All participants try to get good results and become winners. Sport
helps people to keep in good health.

POPULAR AMERICAN SPORTS
Baseball.
Baseball is a game between two teams and is played on a field with a bat and a
small white ball. Each team consists of nine players. The teams take turns playing
in the field and batting the ball. A baseball game has nine ―innings‖. That means
that every team plays in the field nine times and is ―at bat‖ nine times. The object of
the game is to score more ―runs‖ than the other team. Only the team at bat can score
―runs‖. The pitcher throws, or pitches, the ball to the catcher as hard as he can and the
batter tries to hit the ball with the bat. If he hits a ball, he tries to run to the first base
before a player in the field gets to the ball. If the player in the field catches the ball

sides, and the team that was in the field now has a chance to bat the ball and score
runs. The team with the most runs at the end of nine innings wins.

popular sport among American women and co-ed teams. (combined men and women)

team. Each team moves the ball across the court by bouncing or ―dribbling‖ it. The
players can also throw, or pass, the ball to each other. They then try to shoot the ball
into the basket, or hoop, to score a point. The team with the most points wins.

quarterback starts by throwing, or passing, the ball to one of the players, called a

team try to tackle him to prevent him from reaching the goal line. The team with the
most points wins.

Soccer is a field game between two teams, played with the white round ball. The
goalkeeper is the only one who can touch the ball with his hands. The other

points, or goals, wins.
