Companies compete with each other to get more customers.Countries compete with each other for a better economy. Even animals and plants compete with each other. But what are the good and bad sides of competition? First of all, competiton makes us strive(pingutama) more than usually. When we must compete with other people, we want to be best or at least good. As a result, we are ready to do things that maybe are difficult or boring, but improve our skills. For example, if estonian proffessional skier Kristina Smigun wants to win a gold medal, she has to focus on the upcoming contest. That means to train every day without complaining about the lack of free time. Furthermore, competition is needed in order to be able to compare different things. If we do not compete, we can not ever know who is stronger, better and smarter. We can only say our own subjective opinion. For instance, If we need to make university admission tests, we all know, the smartest win
World Championships and two times i have had chance to perform in television. So if you haven’t a talent, but you have a real intention, you can achieve anything you want even if it seems impossible. Finally, If you have both: talent and experience, it is the best way to succeed in your work. Like Irving Berling has said: “Talent is only the starting point“. If you have a talent and you work with it, you can reach further . A good example is a 13- years-old Estonian freestyle skier Kelly Sildaru. She has trained freestyle skiing since she was 2 years old and now she is one of the best of the wold. Surely she has a talent, but if she hadn’t trained so much, she wouldn’t be there, where she is now. To sum it up, in order to be successful in your life you have to work with your dream. Talent is a very good starting point but only with talent you can’t succeed. And even if you

There are three types of it alpine skiing, freestyle skiing and cross-country skiing. Alpine skiing is downhill skiing. Skiing has been popular in Nordic countries for a long time. Finns used ski patrols in World War II. Skiing is also popular in Estonia. Especially cross-country skiing. We have some very good skiers. There are three good men who are Jaak Mae, Andrus Veerpalu and Raul Olle who skis longer distances. We also have a world-class female skier Kristina Smigun. They have won many medals. Football and basketball are also popular sports among Estonians. Many children go to football trainings but there are no world-famous footballers in Estonia. Mart Poom is the most well-known because he plays in the English Premiership and that league has very many viewers and fans. The best players go to play in foreign countries because our league level is quite low. They need to go elsewhere to improve as players and the salaries are also low
Games. About 3,000 athletes take part in the Winter Games. The host city of the Winter Games must provide an outdoor stadium. The opening and closing down ceremonies may be held there, the host city must also have at least 2 outdoor stadiums for figure skating, speed skating and ice-hockey. Skilled workers establish ski-runs for the cross-country, downhill, freestyle and slalom competitions. There must also be two ski-jumps near the host city. The most famous cross-country skier in Estonia are Andrus Veerpalu and Kristina Smigun. The Winter Olympic Games in Turin in 2006 were very successful for Estonia's cross-country skiers: Andrus Veerpalu won the gold medal in the men's 15 km classic-style cross-country skiing race. With Turin Olympics Andrus Veerpalu became double Olympic champion since he placed 1st in the same event in 2002 at the Salt Lake City Olympic Games. Winter sports made their Olympic debut at the Summer Games in London in 1908. Figure
watched on in perverse amusement (the cumulative anesthetic of 10+ shots helped) as a syringe inserted in one side of my left ankle began to dance underneath the skin on the opposite side like a chest-popping fetus from Aliens. It then poked through the skin, and I was less amused. Not a party trick you want to show your patients. We used everything but the kitchen sink. The most potent of the chemical cocktails was a hybrid. It combined the ingredients used on the knees of an Olympic skier with the ingredients used on one sprinter who'd torn his Achilles tendon eight weeks prior to the world championships. The latter ended up winning a gold medal. The final Frankenstein elixir was serious business. It included: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) PRP is an emerging treatment mainly used with elite athletes. It gained national attention in 2009 when used successfully to treat two Pittsburgh Steelers just weeks prior to their Super Bowl victory
