Needless to say that sport plays an important role in our life. It gives us much pleasure and many moments of joy. There are a lot of kinds of sports such as swimming, wrestling, cycling, box, football, hockey, track and field athletics. All of them are useful and exciting and help us to keep feet.As for me I am fond of jogging and figure skating. I was going in for figure skating when I was a child and achieved good results. This is very elegant sport. You should control your body very well, if you wish to skate gracefully. And you should apply great efforts at every coaching. Now every winter if I have spare time, I go to the nearest skating-rink with my friends and we have much pleasure, skating together. I don’t forget to watch Figure Skating Championships, where our best sportsmen and sportswomen perform. Their compulsory and free programmes are beyond description and one can’t help admiring them.
