My favorite sportsman

1. «My favorite sportsman»

2. Sport is important part of our life.

My favorite kind of sport is skiing.
I have been liking this sport from
since I was a kid.
This kind of sport is something
that will always attract me.

3. But…

…I also like ski-jumping!
Sportsmen descend a special
ramp which is so called inrun,
jump from the end of this ramp
and try to “fly” as far as
possible. I really admire how
brave these sportsmen are

4. Thomas Morgenstern:

5. Interesting.Part 1.

My favourite sportsman is an Austrian skijumper Thomas Morgenstern. He is one of
the most successful ski-jumpers. He
competed for about twelve years. His
career started in 2002 and his debut was
quite successful. He took part in many
competitions such as the Nordic World
Ski Championships, the Ski-Flying World
Championships and the Olympic games.

6. Interesting. Part 2.

Each competition with his participation
was something special for his fans. We
knew that he would achieve high results.
Thomas Morgenstern got many medals.
He has fourteen gold medals, three silver
medals and three bronze medals. He
also has 23 individual wins and 16 team
wins

7. Interesting. Part 3.

Thomas Morgenstern is a very brave
sportsman. In 2014 he sustained severe
head injuries during training. Fortunately, he
.
recovered and even
took part in the
competition. However, his individual results
were not so good as usual. Sometime after
that in 2014 he decided to retire from
competitive ski-jumping and announced
about that. I hope that one day he comes
back to ski-jumping, maybe, as a coach…

8. Thank you for attention!!!

I hope you enjoyed it. Goodbye!
