In a good sporting environment, children have the opportunity to make new friends and develop new interests. Sport also keeps you fit and greatly improves your health. If you do sports, you have no weight problems.
B)German planes have finally managed to save a climber from one of the world's highest mountain peaks. Tom Gummar, a Slovenian, was trying to climb the mountain when he ran into difficulties. He had spent nearly a week six-thousand metres above the ground. All the previous attempts to save him had been unsuccessful because of snow storms. Only yesterday the planes managed to reach him and now his health is improving.
C)The Ancient Olympic Games were held in Greece. The beginning of these games is surrounded with mystery and legend. One of the most popular myths says that Heracles was the first who called the Games "Olympic". He started the tradition of holding them every four years. The legend continues that he built the Olympic stadium in honour of his father.
D)Former Wimbledon winner Maria Sharapova is back at the US Open semi-finals.

E)Chelsea was founded in 1905 and it soon entered the Football League. In the early years they saw little success.

He led them to their first main victory: they won the national championship.
F)Yesterday Andy Wistler played one of his best matches at the Australian Open. Due to his wonderful performance he easily won three sets and the match was finished very quickly.
