    I am most interested in sports in India. It is because they practiced wrestling, weightlifting, long jump, swimming, rowing, shooting, fishing and athletics, as well as various kinds of ball games.All these sports are not practice in Singapore.Even fishing is a weird sport!!!

    I LOVE the sports in ancient Greece.The sports comprised of: Boxing,Equestrian events,Chariot racing,Riding,Pankration,Pentathlon,Discus,
    Javelin,Jump, Running and Wrestling.But I like the Pankration the most becuase this event was a grueling combination of boxing and wrestling. Punches were allowed although the fighters did not wrap their hands with the boxing himantes.
    Attacks such as kicking an opponent in the belly, which are against the rules in modern sports, were perfectly legal in ancient Greece.

    The most interesting sporting event that has interested me was the ice cream vendor race in India because I do not know what is their aim in that race. There are also other STRANGE races in India such as the nurse race and the dhobi race. Maybe I could fly to India to check it out!

    Hockey,Handball,Gymnastics,Javelin throw,Fishing,Boxing,Weightlifting,Equestrian Sports,High jump,Swimming,Rowing,Archery,Rhythmic gymnastics,Tug of hoop,Marathon,Equilibrium and Tug of war.

    My favourite sport in Eygpt is swimming as we can show our skills and they are special as they go to a river to practice their skills. The name of the river was River Nile and the calm waters of the Nile encouraged the youths.

    In India, there are many unique games such as postman race, farmer race, waiter race, garderner race, vendor race, cobbler race, barber race, ice-cream vendor race, nurse race, mechanic race, milkman race, dhobi race, driver race and sweeper race. These games are educational that allow the contestants to understand how hard those people had experienced through, thus they should not look down on them.

    In Greece, the most interesting sporting event that interest me is Riding because I L-O-V-E books about horses and ponies and I am looking forward to ride them one day.
