Sport

It has been proved long ago that physical activity is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. They hep us to get rid of tension and let off steam. Sport makes us feel less tired and gives energy to cope with the demands of our busy life.

Fitness centers and health clubs are supplied with all the necessary equipment. Skilled instructors will help you to become as fit as a fiddle.

Besides amateurs there are people for whom sport is a profession. Professional sportsmen devote all their time and effort to sport. Took place in the 8th century BC.

Every 4 years Olympic Games are held nowadays. Over 13,000 of athletes compete at Summer and Winter Olympic Games in 33 different sports.

Our country also takes part in Olympic Games. The last Summer Olympics took place in 2012 in London. Belarus has won 12 medals, 2 of which were gold. The prize-winners Victoria Azarenko, Maksim Mirnyi (tennis) and Sergei Martynov (shooting). The last Winter Olympics were in 2014 in Sochi. They were marked by 5 golden medals and 1 bronze medal. The names of Darya Domracheva (biathlon), Alla Tsuper and Anton Kushnir (freestyle) went down in history.

In 2014 our country hosted the World Ice Hockey Championship. The matches took place on our two newly-built Minsk-Arena and Chizhovka-Arena.

In conclusion, I'd like to say that the most difficult part of anything is getting started.
