DARK SIDES OF SPORT
Lisa Streseva, 11c
We are all used to thinking that doing sport is always something healthy, something that give us stamina and good fit. Most people think that it couldn`t be bad for us. Bad what if I tell you that almost all sport, except chess of course, can be dangerous for ourselves. Someone will say: “It`s just about traumas. Yes, it`s painful, but not so dangerous”. Let me tell some stories, that will show that in sport, traumas aren`t the most terrible, especially in competitive sports.
Let`s begin with athletic sports. We all know, that now no sportsman allowed to dope during competitions. Dopes make competition unfair, because they help man to win. But do you know that there was a man who died because of dopes? It was Knut Janssen, cyclist, who died because of dopes and hot weather on cycle competition. It was the first death because of them.
I think most people where on theater on the ballet at least once in their life. Ballerinas are so delicate and unbelievable. All know that this sport needs long hours working and includes big number of traumas. But do you know what is behind the stage? Prime ballerinas, who have a lot of fans and main roles n ballet also have a lot of envious who want their places, so they do everything to harm them. I know a lot of stories how prime ballerinas danced with smile on their faces and glass in their point shoes. By the way glass on scene and in shoes is loved theme for opponents. I professionally did dance during 10 years and despite that I wasn`t famous there were some competitions where I danced on glass. To my mind competitive sport like dance and gymnastic are one of the most violent sports.
To sum up I’d like to say that every sport has dark sides and secrets and most sportsmen although have some. But it isn`t a reason to deny them. It is a reason to remember to be a human and not to do something violent or something that is illegal. If everyone will remember that there will be fewer dark sides and secrets.
