TABLE TENNISTable tennis is a sport in which two or four players have to hit a lightweight
orange or white ball, back and forth, using a table tennis bat. The place in which
this game takes place is on a table divided by a net. It is play very fast, and so, it
demands quicker reactions than in other sports. The most important parts are the
spin that its put on the ball, and the movement of your legs. Also and important
fact, is to play lots of matches, so you are prepare for whatever your rival does.
This sport, demands lots of hours of training so you dont make any mistake
during the match.
Table tennis is played, individually, in
pairs, and in teams. Individually, you
play against you rival, in games of
eleven points ( if you became into a 10-10 , the winner is the one who reaches
two points in advantage) , and it is usually play at the best of five or seven
games. In pairs, the rules are much more complicated, and there are a lot of them,
for example, each player of each pair, has to rotate in the game, so one player
never hits the ball twice successive. In teams, there are lots of variable, there can
be two people teams or three people teams. The players of each teams play
between them, in a order that depends on the type of match that is being played.
Also, sometimes, in team matches, a doubles match is played, it is always play in
two people teams, and in some occasions, in three people teams to untie the
match.

Lots of table tennis rules, had been changing
during the years, for example, at the
beginning there were one ball, that goes very
fast and which can get a lot of spin, then, it
were change for another ball, that was bigger,
goes slower, and can get less spin, and finally, the last year, the ball was changed
for one which is a bit bigger and can get even less spin. All those ball changes are
made so table tennis can be watched better in TV.
Origins:Table tennis, was born in
England, during a rainy day in
which some tennis players, wanted
to play, but they couldnt because of
the rain. Because of that, they
started to play with some books as
paddles, in a normal table. Many
years after that, the ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) was born.
Even more years before, ITTF, created a web page in which people can watch
championships matches in live. Nowadays, table tennis isnt as famous as sports
like football or basketball, but, the more years it pass, the more that table tennis
become more famous.
To play table tennis, the essential equipment, firstly, is the paddle: it must have
one red rubber, one black rubber, and be made of wood. It has a minimun and
maximum measures. The rubbers are very controlled, at the championships, the
referees, must see that the both rubbers of both players are legal for the ITTF, if it
doesnt , the player who has the illegal rubbers has to change them, or lose the
match. However, the wood is less controlled. Also, if you are playing a team
match, you have to wear the same t-shirt as your partners. There are no rules
-
about the shoes, but playing with running shoes isnt the best choice, you can get
injured for example. Lots of years ago, people used to paste the rubbers into the
wood, with a special glue that gives the ball much more spin, and much more
speed, but this glue, didnt least for much time, players used to have to paste lots
of times their rubbers. Finally, people discovered that that glue was toxic so ITTF
banned using this kind of glue.
There are lots of table tennis championships, the most important in singles are:
WTTC (Worlds Table Tennis Championship) and the World Tour Grand Finals.
Nowadays, in singles, there are lots of championships, called Pro tour, that are
important depending on the players that play it, ITTF classified them in order of
-
the importance, golden one are the most important, silvered one are the second
more important, and the rest of them are the less important. For example, the
Spanish Pro Tour, classified like silvered, (takes place in Almera) last year
wasnt very important, but this year lots of good players are playing it, so it is
very important.
During all the years that people played table tennis, some players stand out and
not all of them are Chinese. The most important player, and the one who is
considerate the best in all the history, is Jan-Ove Waldner, form Sweden. Also,
the Sweden national team, in its good times, used to win the Chinese national
team, without losing a match. But Sweden national team became in a decline, and
the Chinese National team catch them up. Since that, the only national team that
has given a bit of competition to the Chinese is the German, lead by Timo Boll,
the only non Chinese player that has reached the top 1 in the ITTFs single
ranking in the last 10 years. Timo Boll, has been playing professionally lots of
years, and he had been always in the top of the best players, facing Chinese best
players, sometimes defeating them and sometimes losing, and nowadays, despite
his age compare to the rest of the players, he is still on the top 10 of the singles
ITTFs ranking.
Now, the best players in the world are
two Chinese, Ma Long , which is the
number one right now, and Xu Xin ,
number two. The two non Chinese
young promises to became world
champions and number one in the
ranking, are the Japanese Jun Mizutani , and the German Dimitrij Ovtcharov,
which is Timo Bolls teammate. In Spain, male table tennis players arent as
good as other countrys players. The best Spanish players are Carlos Machado,
He Zhi When, born in Spain but with Chinese parents, well known as Juanito ,
and Marc Duran. However, female Spanish players are quite better, but most of
-
the best of them have Chinese parent, but they were born in Spain, and trained in
Spain. For example Yanfei Shen, who has been number six in the world ranking.

SURFHISTORY
Surfing is one of the oldest practiced sports on the planet. The art of wave riding, is a blend of total athleticism and the comprehension of the beauty and power of nature. Surfing is also one of the few sports that creates its own culture and lifestyle.
The act of riding waves with a wooden board originated in Western Polynesia over three thousand years ago. The first surfers were fishermen who discovered riding waves as an efficient method of getting to shore with their catch . Eventually catching waves developed from being part of everyday work to being a pastime. This change revolutionized surfing.
SURFING
Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or deep face of a moving wave, which is usually carrying thesurfer toward the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found in the ocean, but can also be found in lakes or in rivers in the form of a standing wave or tidal bore.
The modern-day definition of surfing most often refers to a surfer riding a wave standing up on a surfboard; this is also referred to as stand-up surfing.
-
One variety of stand-up surfing is paddle boarding. Another prominent form of surfing is body boarding, when a surfer rides a wave on a bodyboard, either lyingon their belly, drop knee, or sometimes even standing up on a body board. Other types of surfing include knee boarding, surf matting (riding inflatable mats), and using foils. Body surfing, where the wave is surfed without a board, using the surfer's own body to catch and ride the wave, is very common and is considered by some to be the purest form of surfing.
The Guinness Book of World Records recognized a 78 feet (23.8 m) wave ride byGarrett McNamara at Nazar, Portugal as the largest wave ever surfed.
EQUIPMENT
Surfing can be done on various equipment, including surfboards, longboards, Stand Up Paddle boards (SUP's), bodyboards, wave skis, skimboards, kneeboards, surf mats and macca's trays. Surfboards were originally made of solid wood and were large and heavy.
Nowadays, most modern surfboards are made of fiberglass foam (PU), with one or more wooden strips or "stringers", fiberglass cloth, and polyester resin (PE).
Other equipment includes a leash, surf wax, traction pads (to keep a surfer's feet from slipping off the deck of the board), and fins. Sportswear designed or particularly suitable for surfing may be sold as boardwear. In cold water surfers can opt to wear wetsuits, boots, hoods, and gloves.

SURF CULTURE
Surfers represent a diverse culture based on riding the waves. Some people practice surfing as a recreational activity while others make it the central focus oftheir lives. Within the United States, surfing culture is most dominant in Hawaii and California because these two states offer the best surfing conditions. However, waves can be found wherever there is coastline, and a tight-knit yet far-reaching subculture of surfers has emerged throughout America. Some historical markers of the culture included the woodie, the station wagon used to carry surfers' boards, as well as boardshorts, the long swim shorts typically worn while surfing. Surfers also wear wetsuits in colder regions.
Many surfers claim to have a spiritual connection with the ocean, describing surfing, the surfing experience, both in and out of the water, as a type of spiritual experience or a religion.
