Our favourite sports


Ice hockey

I like watching ice hockey. It’s a funny and hard sport. You have to be very strong and a good skater.

You need skates, a stick and many pads on your body. You also need a helmet, of course.

The biggest league in ice hockey is NHL (National Hockey League). Only the best players in the world play in NHL.

I think the best player ever was the Canadian Wayne Gretzky. He was fantastic. But my favourite team is a team in the Swedish highest league, called ”Elitserien”. I have seen many of their matches. Their name is Frölunda Indians and they are from Gothenburgh. I really like them.

Ice hockey is best when you see it live. But it’s fun to see on TV too. There are other sports I like watching, ice hockey is only one of them, but today I chose to write about ice hockey!

Riding

I love to ride, I’ve been riding since I was seven years old.

At the beginning it was hard to hold your balance in the saddle, but now it’s really easy.

If you ride in a riding school there are often 4-9 people in a riding group. I started riding in a riding school and I’ve been doing that for seven years now.

I’ve also had three ”nursehorses”. My first was named Cassernagh Darkie. He was brown and had a blaze on his face. My second horse was called Molly. She was light brown and had long mane and tail. My third horse’s name is Casper. He has also a very light coat and he is the cutest thing you can imagine.

Dancing

I’ve been dancing since I was about five years old. Whenever I start with a sport it always contains some sort of dance. I first started dancing when I was training rythmic gymnastics. Later I started practising figure skating. Both containing some sort of dance. I love dancing. And it isn’t as easy as everyone thinks.You must work hard, be strong and you have to be flexible and be in good shape. You should know how much work, sweat, tears and blood there is in every dance. If you haven’t gor hurt or if you don’t get sweaty, you are not doing it right. Dancing is really a more demanding sport than, let’s say, hockey or football. Well, maybe not more, but just as demanding. So think of that before you try it. But when you’re doing it right, it can be just beautiful.

Soccer

One of my favourite sports is soccer. I have been playing soccer since I was born. Soccer has always been my favourite sport and Spanish soccer is always the best. J

The most important thing to know if you want to start playing soccer is that you are not only one player. You are a team.

Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckam are my favourite players. Beckam comes from England but plays in a team called Milan and Cristiano Ronaldo is from Portugal but plays in Real Madrid, which is a team you probably have heard about…
