I started skiing when I was 8 years old. I got really funny. When I became older,I realized that to show the result of the competitions, I must work hard for a year. I went to training camp in Austria,Poland,Slovakia,Slovenia,Ukraine, increased the level of skiing. When there were various competitions before we start we stretched our's legs. When the skier is on the starting band everyone is silent. The countdown begins:5,4,3,2,1,0. After all these figures everyone begins to support you ,scream and holler. When you arrive at the finish you just fall on the snow from insufficient forces and when you look at your time^ you just cry or rejoice.
