"There are lots of types of sports and games. We can divide sports into three cathegories – summer, winter and all-seasons sports. Among the summer sports belong: athletics, aquatic sports, ball games, cycling, skateboarding, etc. Winter sports are skiing, ski jumping, snowboarding, ice dancing, ice hockey and all – seasons sports are for example: basketball, gymnastics, table tennis, boxing, sport dancing. We can practise outdoor and indoor sports. There are team sports and individual sports.Some of the most popular team sports include football, basketball, hockey, volleyball and baseball. Individual sports may be played as one individual, with or without competitors like running or swimming, or two individuals who compete with each other like boxing or wrestling. My favourite sports are snowbording, down-hill skiing, swimming, and bowling. When I have time, I go running with my two dogs.

There are two kinds of athletes – amateurs and professionals. The amateur approach to sport is when you exercise, jog, swim or go to the gym once in a while. Some people are so interested in sports that they want to make it their main livelihood. A professional plays the sport as his or her job and sometimes it is very well paid job.Sometimes they only get paid for their travels and equipment, but if they keep improving their results. There is a fair chance they could go to the world competitions, which improves their chances of earning more money. The highest success for sportmen is usually to participate in the Olympic games and win a gold medal.
The Olympic Games are performed every four years. They are named after the city in Greece where it took place for the first time. The contemporary tradition of the games started in 1896, in Athens. The initiator was Pierre de Coubertin. Since then, the event has taken place every four years, excepting during the world wars. Since 1924, a special winter Olympics has been held and since then there are two parts to the games: the winter part and the summer parts, which change once every two years. The well-known symbol of the games is the five inverwined different coloured circles on a white backgroung. They symbolise the five continents.
Some other important sports events are the World and European Championships and Cups in various sports. The contemporary best Czech sportsmen are Roman Šebrle, Tomáš Dvořák, Aleš Valenta, or Štěpánka Hilgertová. "
