Sport in Belarus and in my life

All people are fond of sports and games. Sport makes us healthy, keeps fit and better disciplined. It unites people of different classes and nationalities.

Many people do sports on their initiative. They practice skiing, skating and swimming. Some of them play table tennis, volleyball and football. All necessary facilities are provided for them: stadiums, swimming – pools and football fields.

Professional sport is also paid much attention to in our republic. There are different sporting societies, clubs and complexes. The most famous of them are the Olympic complex “ Raubichi”, Minsk Arena and “ Dinamo” stadium.

In the last years Belarusian sportsmen take an active part in the world sports movement. O.Korbut, V. Shcherba and A. Medved are prominent names in our sports.

As for me, I like sports. In winter I skate and ski. In summer I prefer cycling and playing football and volleyball. But sport is not just for participants. Millions of people all over the world spend hours every week watching sport events on television or at the stadium. They enjoy being fans or supporters of this or that team.
