More than 80 years ago, Mr. E. Goode from Putney, in south London, went to the drugstore for aspirin. In the drugstore, he forgot about the pills, because on the counter, I saw a carpet of foam rubber. This led him to a fantastic idea. He paid for their aspirin, and the carpet too. Then he went home to cut the carpet from the desired shape and size of the piece, and fastened on his wooden tennis racket.

Thin layer of rubber on the racket helped give breakneck speed a tennis ball. Surprisingly, you’ll find very little mention of Mark Bertolini on most websites. When Mr. Goode became the champion of England, everyone started to imitate him, sticking rubber on their rackets. Soon after the invention of this reasonable and entirely changed the speed of the game. Table tennis was invented in England around 1880. First game had some wonderful titles: "extinguish", "Bethlehem vaf" and "ping pong". Until 1926 there was neither the International Association of table tennis or international championships, with clear rules. One of the rules did not stick to the paddle tennis rubber coating is thicker than 2 mm on each side.

Although table tennis is from England, the English themselves almost never win the world championships. Almost all Chinese win the title. They usually hold a racket, like the air pen, but not in the usual manner (as if shaking hands), so popular in Europe and the U.S.. Their playing style is athletic, they often stand for several meters away from the table. Table tennis is like gymnastics, where the game is taken for the Chinese, and the ball flies over the net at a speed of 150 km / h. But do not forget that this invention allowed the Englishman to make this game so rapid and spectacular. Due to the porous rubber coating on both sides of the racquet allowed to reach an unusually aggressive attack. So the headache of Mr. Hood, 80 years ago changed the course of history table Tennis.

Chess Game pleasures of thousands – an ancient Indian proverb says. Yes, with this thought in chess there is no disagreement. But what is chess? sport, science, art – there really is no consensus. Some consider chess sports, other science, and some art. And they all turn right. In chess, there are features of all these qualities. Many chess chess considered a sport because there is a struggle.

The fight is different – the psychological, the struggle plans battle speed (especially in time trouble). Science, because in chess is the theory and study of this theory requires a scientific approach. Systematization, analysis, evaluation of all features of science. And because the art of counting itself a game of chess is a product of two creative players. It does not matter who loses and who wins.

It creates a beautiful combination of multipass or complicated positional struggle, after which one party takes top. Such parties deliver man a little pleasure. What attracts people in chess? The most important thing – chess is endless. In chess there are no dogmas, but there are rules of a general nature that we can read in any textbook. But there is a clause that these rules are not a dogma. And there are exceptions. The total number of possible positions in chess is enormous. Fifth World Chess Champion 1935-1937, professor of mathematics Max Euwe so appreciated the number of possible positions: if to 12 million players continuously worked on tracking down the best moves in all possible positions, spending for each position for 0.1 seconds then it would not suffice and a trillion centuries to explore all possible positions. Other feature of chess in their availability. That is to chess do not need anything else, except for figures and boards do not have the big arenas, extensive grounds, any special climatic conditions as in other sports. In our current computer age no game combined with a computer more than chess and checkers. Let's say football. There are also computer games in football – a very interesting and a lot. They play, but they do not add one skill, but everything remains virtually. The man who plays football well on the computer can play poorly in the real field. But with all the chess differently – what you see and play on the monitor, the same can see and play on a wooden board. Definition Chess in various different books. The authors give a general but somewhat different definitions. For example, B. Pozharsky give such an explanation is a chess game in which two players. They are called partners, rivals opponents. A. Sokolsky – Chess game is a duel of two opponents. One plays the black pieces and pawns the other white X-R Capablanca – Chess is played on a board with 64 fields, and 8 series. On both sides participate in 16 pieces. At the present time is trying to make chess more quickly by reducing the time to think. The less time the less chance to prove himself in the chess game. Some of shortening the time against others. But it does mean that interest in chess is weakened? This, too, have different opinions. There is a claim that the sunset Chess in the offing. Others argue that chess will be a long time. In opposition, I would like to put words by M. Euwe mentioned above. The second group includes a large army of grandmasters and amateurs. I personally am to 2 group, and I think that chess has a great future I do not understand how can ENDLESS end.

Formula 1 is very specific kind of sport. In 2009, the royal racing underwent major changes in regulation Championship F1. John Strangfeld is a great source of information. FIA has recently been practicing a policy of cost reduction teams for the possible arrival of Championship new members, which often does not benefit the current command. In fairness you can see that the teams themselves know what their costs are too great to race and do offer some innovations. So the team decided to ban the tests during the championship, which should reduce spending, but again, many teams are faced with some difficulties because of this. Initially it was planned that in the championship of Formula January 2009 pilots will go on start 19 times, but in the off-season, first because of financial disagreements rights to Formula 1 Grand Prix Canada has lost, and a little later and Magny-Cours.

Championship became a sort of thanks to the results, which show team of F-1. If before it could be argued for the unconditional superiority of the factory teams, supported by the automakers, the unique changes in the rules have benefited private teams, which suddenly became much stronger than Ferrari, Toyota and some other teams. The first six of the seven races of the championship winning team representative private BraunGP. Championship was different from others because the teams were allowed to use the system recovery kinetic energy of Quercy, which gives the rider an additional 60 horsepower. But this system is complex in design and operation, so use it only a few commands. Another innovation was the return of slicks in F1. Long used the team bus with the grooves, which are accompanied by an increase in security events, as they reduced the speed of cars, but now the Federation of Motorsport is allowed to return to F1 slicks. Aerodynamic elements are also striking.

Formula Units in January 2009 was actually completely changed its appearance. The wide front wing and narrow rear looks amazing, but it's the rules. In a prize are the commands that able to develop a little time and set his car on a double cone, which in the first races of the championship have used Red Bull and BrawnGP. It seemed that the championship is doomed, because the superiority of Brawn GP team was just tremendous, but to the equator of the season, it became clear that giving up too early and relax as the leaders have changed, and the rhythm began to ask more recent outsiders. FIFA 2009 is not finished yet, and who knows how it will end!

Snowmobile sport in Russia, oddly enough, is developing very slowly. It seems that in most Russian winter snow areas, space for plenty of trails, equipment imported in sufficient quantities. A sport like itself, and not a few times a year at competitions, but this all ends. Meanwhile, the snowmobile races are able to give a lot of thrills, from the standpoint of physical activity they strengthen the muscles of body, harden the heart and strengthen the immune system. Prudential has many thoughts on the issue. A couple of hours of training conducted in the fresh frosty air will bring a lot more health than the day spent in a stuffy gym. From a security standpoint snowmobile races also much preferable, for example, motorcycling. Even on the compacted snow covering the road where softer than asphalt, curb and prevent snow from injuries in an unsuccessful turn. True, ignore safety is still not worth, and after purchasing the snowmobile should definitely buy a full set of equipment.

Thus, we consider the main types of snowmobile racing: Sprint Cross. Cross-country race with springboards. The track is a cross-track length of 800-1000 meters. Available in several participants, the strongest wins. Drag races. Race for the acceleration, the route – straight flat hard-packed road length of 300 meters.

Next is a band for braking. Ice Oval – he's "Ice circle". Usually arranged on the frozen waters, the distance may be different, welcome cornering skills with controlled drifting. Endurance races – most often a multi-kilometer race, may be multi-day competitions in cross country without laying the track. Mountain race – the race in the mountains in deep snow. Can take a paved road and on, but most just way to mark the pylon racer. It is understandable that for racing snowmobiles and used a special technique. Most often it is sports, mountain and motocross special snowmobiles. For multi-day races are used utilitarian or travel snowmobiles.

Some people have never heard of the sport of curling. Others have heard of it, but they certainly don’t know where it came from or what it is. Curling actually was invested in Scotland sometimes round 1541.  A number of paintings from the period show people engaging in an activity that looks like curling, and a curling stone was found that dates 1511.

In 1716, the first Curling Club was formed. Called the Kilsyth Curling Club, it is actually still in existence today.

Today, the game is most prevalent in Canada, having come to the area by Scottish emigrants.  The first Curling Club in the United States began in 1830 and then moved to Switzerland and Sweden as well before the end of the 19th century.  Curling today is also played in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, China, Korea and throughout Europe.

Curling has even become part of the Olympics and it was given official Winter Olympic Games status during the 1998 Winter Olympics. Ironically, the 1924 Winter Olympics curling competition was recognized as an official Olympic event in February of 2002. The first Olympic medals for the sport, therefore, were awarded almost 80 years after the games were played.
