Sport has always been important in my life. As a child, I practiced artistic roller skating. During my adolescence, I didn't do any sport. But around 25, I returned to the gym, and currently, I enjoy hiking and running. Sport is good for the body and the mind.

When I was 5 years old I used to play football in a team in Uruguay but when I was 7 years old I had to stop practicing it because I came to live to in Spain. 8 years later, at the age of fifteen, I started to play football again but not in a team, I used to play football twice a week with my uncle and his friends (I was the youngest, all the other people were 30 years old and older). Two years ago I used to go to the gym, but I got bored going alone, so I quit after six months. Currently I don't do any specific sport, I only go for a walk everyday and I lift weights at home. I have a fairly sedentary life, but I try to go for walks whenever I can to keep my body moving.

Sport have has always played an important role in my life. I used to play volleyball from the age of twelve until about a year ago. It was something I really enjoyed because it helped me stay active, make friends, and work as part of a team. Even though I stopped playing over time, volleyball was a very special experience for me and made me love sports even more.

Currently, I practice swimming, a sport I have loved since I was very young. I usually go to the swimming pool with my family on weekends, and it has become a nice way to spend time together while taking care of our health. Swimming helpS me relax, disconnect from daily stress, and keep myself active.

For me, sport is very important because it keeps me healthy, happy, and motivated. Whether it was volleyball in the past or swimming now, staying active is a big part of my life.

I love sport a lot, and my life turned around it. 15 years ago I was working in a sport centre, while a was there I organised  several triathlons and these events were  very successful, a lot of athletes took part in this event every year.  This triathlon was shorter than an Olympic, and it consisted of swimming 750m  in the canal, biking 20km along natural park aiguamolls, and finally running 5km, the best triathlete did it in 1h , but what made this event very special and successful was that many people participated, there were volunteers who helped with the organisation and the triathletes who participated were from many areas of Catalonia. And the winner wont a  tandem parachutem JUMP.

Like most of the people, I played a lot of sports when I was young. Basketball, athletics and above all football are the sports that I practiced until the beginning of my twenty years. From then my practice of sport became occasional.

I have followed my daugthers and wife practicing roller skating and, if that counts, I have seen Rafa Nadal winning fourteen Rollang Garros on TV.

In the last year the sport has become in my medicine for me. I do strength exercise and cardio six days for a week and it makes me fell feel better and alive.

I hope I had never left it.

I remember playing football with my classmates during our free time when I was a child. I also remember that I was very active; I liked doing sports and I enjoyed physical education very much until I was sixteen. At that age, I stopped liking sports, except for badminton. Since leaving school, I haven't generally done much sport, although I have played padel many times and I enjoy going on hiking routes with my friends.

Now, I would like to do some sport, but I have little free time and I prefer to spend my time on other things, like staying with my family or friends.

When I was a child and I went to school, one of the subjects was physical education.

We did physical exercises like these: on one hand, we had to jump the rack and do some somersaults, it was something I loved to do.

On the other hand, we had to try some exercises against the wall. I hated these ones, because we had to turn ourselves, put our hands touching the floor and our feet touching the wall. It was something awful !! That's why this subject wasn't my favourite.

Despite this, in summer when I was on holiday, I liked swimming every day in the pool and when I could in the sea, so nowadays I still swim, which helps me take care of my physical and mental health.

That's the sport's role of sport in my life !

I’ve never been very athlectic. When I was children a child I didn’t like gym classes at school. Later I discovered that I liked hiking. Also I started to go to the gym with a friend and I really liked it. But then I had to stop because I had foot surgery. When my foot started to feel better, Covid came and the gyms closed. During the pandemic I took online yoga classes and I felt good. I wanted to go back to the gym but then, I decided to learn English. How As I didn’t have much free time, I decided to do some exercice at home. Now, when I can, I go out to walk and, also I trye to do some exercise at home. In the future I would like to go back to the gym because I know that the constant sport is very necessary to have a good health.

Sport has always been in my life, not perhaps  the way we know in it nowadays. In my opinion there are a lot of ways on for practising sport. When I was a child, we played all day in the street so this meant running, riding bikes and playing football daily...Then when I was a teenager I loved helping home with the olive trees, we picked up olives using a tool that had to  be pulled, so we walked a lot in the path of olive fields. .. In this way, we did a lot of sport without noticing it!.  At the weekends we also enjoyed  picking up mushrooms, asparagus or walking through the forest.

Later I’ve been a spectator with my two olders sons and now with my youngest one. All of them love playing  football.

When I turned 50 years old, I decided to start running with my best friend. We run twice a week, and one day a week we go walking.  If I have the opportunity I  enrole in sign up for some race like the one in the picture. I have also started playing paddle tennis, which I love it, although I’m not very good on at it. I need both more practice and time.

I think sport is necessary for  everyone, it doesn’t matter the age. It is healthy, it teaches discipline, patience, self-control, and a large list of good reasons to practise it.

In my life, sport isn’t a priority. I enjoy my work, although it is very stressful and makes me feel anxious, and I also value my family. I have two children and they need me for almost everything.

Recently, I have started doing reformer Pilates twice a week with a partner, and when I do it, I feel very good. It makes me think: Is there something more important than taking care of myself?

I would like to have more free time to do Pilates and go walking.

And when I can, I will buy a Pilates machine to do this sport at home. This will be very useful and comfortable.

For now, it is just a plan.

For me, to do sport always had has always meant an indispensable activity in my life.

I have been practicing any kind of sport since I was young and nowadays, I do it regulary.

It had helped to helps me, to be disciplined and at same time to improve my phisycal resistence.

It gives as results a in very good health, because it reduces the stress and recharges batteries.

On the another hand, I enjoy watching on TV , competitions of rythmic gimnastic, tennis, swimming, even artístic figure skating.

I feel admiration, for the sacriface and hard work of the participants.

I think sports it’s is the best medicine for everybody.

Sports have always been part in my life, I didn’t practice one sport as an only option, I have practiced a lot of sports in my life. When I was a child I played football and I have done taekwondo. I enjoy practicing a variety of sports so depends of depending on the season I like doing one sport or another. This week, for example, is my holiday week and I’m snowboarding with my son. In summer I like diving but almost all year I like playing padel and mountainbiking (now I do with an ebike). I haven’t free time to do my hobbies as I would like. Also I love spending my time with my family hiking, skiing, playing padel or doing something activities but always sports are always present.

I like sport very much, especially to watch it on TV. My favourite one is football, but I also enjoy watching another different sports, such as tennis, basketball or cycling. In a few days, the Winter Olympic Games will start, and I really enjoy watching these sports on TV, like snowboarding, skiing or curling (one of the nerdiest sports that I have ever seen).

In my life, I have practised many sports: football or tennis when I was younger, mountain biking, scuba diving, snorkeling, etc. However, nowadays I dedicate a lot of time to my dog, then I had want so I want to do something that I can do with her: hiking mountains. In the last years I have discovered my passion for the mountains with my dog, mainly hiking in the Pyrenees. We had have climbed the Canigou or the Puigmal together, or we have done snow trails in Vallter. But she is 11 years old and now she can't do these routes, so the last year we are were satisfied hiking in the Albera mountains (which is not too bad).

Even though I don´t do as much as sport as I´d like, I always find time to do yoga and zumba. I started yoga when my father died seven years ago and one friend recommended it. I think it is one of the best things I have done in my life. It helps me disconnect from work, family and daily problems. I also do zumba one hour on Wednesdays. This activity is different from yoga because when I do it I am more active, I have more energy and I laugh a lot with my partners. I have a very good time. Finally, when the weather is good, I like walking around the village where I live with friends, family or alone. I love sport and I would like to do more in the future.

As some of you may know, one of my passions is mountainbiking. I try to go moutainbiking at least once a week at the weekend. In summer this increases to two or three times a week, saving the longest route for the weekend. I love climbing to the top of mountains and then riding the descent. Often we have to carry our bikes on tough trails and difficult terrains, but the reward is worth it. You feel so good when you reach the top and enjoy the views! For me, this is also a way to relax and disconnect from work. I started to develop this passion about 15 years ago when, after breaking my knee ligaments for a second time, I decided not to be operated again and started doing something which could be done even with an injured knee. As a spectator, I used to watch my children compete in their sports and I also like watching important sport competitions on TV or . So, as you can see, sport plays an important role in my life.
