SPORTS OLYMPICS TO KNOW DIFFERENT SPORTS AND HOW

SPORTS (OLYMPICS) TO KNOW DIFFERENT SPORTS AND HOW THEY DO IT.

SPORTS • That being said, certain Olympic sports require different levels of fitness. If you can't swim 400 meters (1, 312. 3 ft. ) in 4 minutes, don't sweat it. There's a million other things that determine if you're qualified, too. What would be reasonable? • Make sure that you can hit a baseball, throw a football or shoot a hockey puck. If you can't, keep training by yourself or with friends until you have mastered it. If you don't get in ask if you can at least come and practice with the team! While it may not be fun to do all the work but never go to games it will be worth it when there's try outs again and you can be on the team!

FITTNES: A DAILY ROUTINE • You can adhere to a routine if you set aside specific daily times for exercise. Without a scheduled timeframe, you may be more likely to stray from your daily fitness commitment. Choose a time that compliments your daily schedule. For example, if you join a gym located near your place of work, you can exercise early in the morning before you go to work, or in the afternoons or evenings following your work shift. • Give yourself at least 20 minutes per day for fitness and exercise. Although the time you spend on fitness and exercise may vary depending on the activities you perform, at least 20 minutes of vigorous exercise (such as running, swimming, or basketball) is required for an optimal workout. • Take breaks as needed

OLYMPICS • The modern Olympic Games (French: Jeux olympiques [1]) are the leading international sporting event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered to be the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating. [2] The Olympic Games are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart. Their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic games, which were held in Olympia Greece, from the 8 th century BC to the 4 th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894.

SPORTS • The precise definition of what separates a sport from other leisure activities varies between sources. The closest to an international agreement on a definition is provided by Sport Accord, which is the association for all the largest international sports federations (including association football, athletics, cycling, tennis, equestrian sports and more), and is therefore the de facto representative of international sport. • Sport Accord uses the following criteria, determining that a sport should:

SPORTS • Sports became such a prominent part of their culture that the Greeks created the Olympic Games, which in ancient times were held every four years in a small village in the Peloponnesus called Olympia. • Sportsmanship is an attitude that strives for fair play, courtesy toward teammates and opponents, ethical behaviour and integrity, and grace in victory or defeat. [16][17][18] • Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration or ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake. The well-known sentiment by sports journalist Grantland Rice, that it's "not that you won or lost but how you played the game", and the modern Olympic creed expressed by its founder Pierre de Coubertin: "The most important thing. . . is not winning but taking part" are typical expressions of this sentiment.
