Our country is famous in the world for being strong in sport. Russian people love various kind of sports, but the most popular sport in Russia is football. We could see how many people supported the national team during FIFA World Cup 2018.
There are other popular sports in our country, that make it very successful in the field. A lot of people play ice hockey, bandy, tennis, rugby, volleyball, do gymnastics and acrobatics. Some of my friends are really keen on figure skating, that I suppose to be an extremely beautiful, but dangerous kind of sport. Everything is a matter of taste. All people choose the kind that suits them better. I personally prefer tennis and I have a great example of successful tennis player to look up to, Maria Sharapova. She is one of ten women, and the only Russian, to hold the career Grand Slam. She is also an Olympic medalist, having won silver in women's singles at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Moreover she is has a mentor women entrepreneurs programme. Her example motivates me and I try hard to achieve success in every field.I like sport so much that I cannot imagine my life without it.
