SKIING AS MY

FAVOURITE SPORT
SKIING IS FREEDOM
Skiing is a sport with a long history in this world. It is full of
enjoyment, tension, but personally, I think that skiing can let you
feel the real freedom. Do you know that feeling?

Skiing was a prehistoric activity, the

beginning dates to between 8000 and 7000
BCE and the first skis were discovered in
Russia. Early skis have been found in many
areas of northern Europe, too. Why is skiing
my favourite sport, is pretty easy to say. I
love winter, and snow. Here, in Europe we
have a lot of beautiful mountains and places
where we can go skiing. My view is that we
all should take the opportunity our countries
are giving us and go to ski. This sport gives
This sport is practised on the slopes in the mountains or
somewhere near the woods. As I see, skiing is not a hard sport.
All you need to do is know how to work with your legs. About
equipment, there is nothing extra, too. Your outfit should be
consisting of thermal underwear (absorbs sweat better), sweater
or pullover, on the top you should wear ski jacket and ski pants.
In order to ski, of course, you need skis, ski boots, poles, a
helmet (some skiers ski in caps, but helmet should be a priority)
and ski goggles. You can not even forget to cover your hands so
the gloves are also needed.
About events, I would say that the biggest
are Olympics. But competitive skiing is
divided into two disciplines: Racing,
,
comprising slalom, giant slalom, super
giant slalom, combined, and downhill,
parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom.
Freestyle skiing, incorporating events such
as moguls, aerials, halfpipe, and ski cross.
To be honest, I do not really have a
favourite sportsman. I admire all of them.
My beginnings with this sport was not perfect, but I really
wanted to do this sport so I did not give up and I was
forcing my dad to go skiing with me. He is a perfect
teacher and he did a great job. I started on a little meadow,
we gradually went to tiny hills, simple slopes, and this is
how it went. Now I manage even harder slopes without
any problems. There was a lot of fails, and tears, but if we
really want to do something, we should fight a do our best.

As I said, everybody should try this sport. You can clear

your head, relax and enjoy the beauty of the nature.
