SpOrT iS oUr LiFe

Hello!

We are Selena, Elisa e Sara, we have been in the same class for 3 years and, even if we spend a lot of time together, we play very different sports.

We are 16 years old.

Selena practises artistic gym, Elisa practises modern dance and Sara practises football.

ArTiStIc     GyM

Artistic gym is an Olympic sport.

In this discipline the athletes do short exercises that lasts , at the end of the performance some judges give them a score, that is

awarded following the “score code”, on the basis of the elements included and the performance itself. During the competition the athlete

do one exercises for icy gymnastic apparatus, the different score are added. Judges give the medals to the person or the team that have

achieved the best score.

Artistic gym is divided in female and male.

There is 4 female gymnastic apparatus:

§          Vaulting

§          Asymmetric parallel bars

§          Bolster

§          Free body

In my opinion the most difficult apparatus is the bolster, but my favourite one are the asymmetric parallel bars.

There is 6 male gymnastic apparatus:

§          Vaulting horse with handles

§          Rings

§          Symmetric parallel bars

§          Bars

§          Free body 

I have practised this sport for 9 hours a week (Thursday 17.00 to 20.00, Wednesday 17.00 to 20.00 and Friday 17.00 to 20.00), since I was 6; and I’m not tired, because I

learn many things and also I stay a lot of time with other girls with the same passion.

This passion conducted me and my team, to do national competition of which I’m very proud as we got the second position.

The modern dance has been developed from the beginning of the century, outside from the principles and the technique of

the academic dance. With the modern term Dance the historiography of the dance indicates the developed running new in

the United States and Europe from the beginnings of XX century.

“The modern” definition of dance started when  characteristics in contrast with the theatre shape of dance were introduced

in fact at that time the classic ballet,  an example of the abolition of the shoe from tip in favour of the barefoot foot and the

steps and movements that in place of being those established and codifies  in XVII  century from the French Academy of

Dance, can be created from time to time by  the individuality of every dancer.  

Customs are used that free the body and above all it is attempted to find a shape that corresponds more to the motions of

the mind and that  expresses thoughts and feelings.

I started dancing when I was 13 yeas old and I’m still attending a course of modern dance today.

I like dancing very much because it makes me fell free: the modern dance helps me to relax!!

My instructor Lucia says I’m a very good dancer but I think that if I had  begun  dancing earlier now I would be surely better.

I attend the lessons three times a week, for one hour a lesson, in a gym: on Monday and Thursday afternoon from 17.00 to 18.00 and on Wednesday evening (for the

advanced course) from 18.00 to 19.00.

parents during the gymnastic show...For special events we have to prepare exhibitions for the discotheques! It is so funny!!

Sometimes when I watch all those famous dancers on  TV  I dream of being like them.. to become a good dancer has always

been my dream in the drawer. In fact one of my favourite films is honey!!

FoOtBaLL

Many say that soccer is a sport just for boys.

I believe that sport is only one.   I have been playing  soccer since I was six, from four years I played in   the turnement

“spring”. It’s a championship with 12 teams all coming from different parts of Lombardy.

 I choose this sport because fundamental it appeals to but believe  me,  above all that also we “girls” are good important

and like the “boys” with the ball to the feet.

Soccer helps me to relax, even if sometimes I go home in  the evening that I can’t say a word because I’m very tired.

The training is twice a week on Tuesday and on Thursday, while on Saturday afternoon we have the match. Generally the training is  subdivided in a long race the perimeter

of the field for approximately 30 minute, then we make a little  exercises in all the parts of the body from the neck until the ankles and if the training has been carried in

“serious” way we do the “short match” or the shooting in door.

My team is composed by 23 girls who are from the 15 to the 20 years. They are all nice girls even if it’s not the same feeling with all.

I play with number 7 in centre field, up to now  we are in a good position, approximately in the middle, above us there are Milan, Mozzanica, Atalanta and Fiammamonza

( the Italy champion ). Girl’s soccer has the series A, A2, B, C, and D. this year we are in D league for the first time and if we will continue to win the matches we could

enter in series C.

Soccer for me is all. Sometimes I have tried to leave this sport, even after arguments in the dressing rooms or incomprehension with the mister, but always I returned to

play because I have understood that without soccer, without the football I cannot live. You can forbid all but not my soccer…and when they ask me because I have chosen

to play football I answer that it’s like explaining because I breath, because alive. I don’t know it. It happens and it’s enough.
