Hi! Today I want to tell you about the World Antidoping Agency. This is an organization that coordinates and monitors fair play in sport all over the world. It does a lot of research to improve the fight with cheaters that take prohibited substances. The headquartes is based in Montreal, Canada. The fundation was set up on November 10, 1999. It has got it's own code, that lists all of the prohibited substances, basically what you're allowed to take and not.
Imagine sport without any control over helping yourself with a drug that gives you an advantage over the sportsmen. That was the case until recently. Advanced medical testing was not always available and that makes many people doubt the world recerds of many legendary athlets. They must have been taking something because now athlets cannot break their records. If you get famous you want more and more.
I'm honestly disappointed in all of the athlets that think that a natural way of training your body is not enough. They want something extra. Something that will give the advantage to make sure to win. Of course drugs are not healthy but who cares if you are fighting for gold?
Girl Hockey in Norway
Pia 13, Norway
In Norway ice hockey is quite a small sport. On the other hand the sport has increased in the last few years and a wide number of people have joined it. In Stavanger we are lucky and have a pure girl team. It is not common to have a pure girl team playing ice hockey, and we are actually the only girl-team at our age. Because of the small number of girls attending the sport, we play matches against teams mixed by both girls and boys, and also pure boy teams.
Girl-hockey is known for having an including environment, and everyone regardless of experience are welcomed.
Our weekends are often spent in the arena, playing matches. When we do not have season related matches we travel on tournaments or social team journeys to improve our team spirit!
In the last couple of years we have travelled on a girls-only tournament in the capital of Norway (Oslo). The tournament is used to increase the awareness of the sport, and promote girl hockey! In the end of the tournament they announce a winner. We have participated for the last 4 years, and won the last 3 years.
Since there are so few girls playing ice hockey, our girl team has a wide age range. The age gap is as wide as 30 years from the youngest player to the oldest.
In the beginning of the hockey season we organize a tournament called “Stavanger Oilers Cup”. We invite other hockey teams at our age, both from Norway and from other countries. Teams that are participating represent for example Finland and Poland. The tournament last for a weekend, and imply matches, food, hotel, disco and tickets to one of Stavangers elite teams hockey games.

Handball
By Andre Eikeland, Norway
Handball is a big sport in Europe. The top three handball nations are France, Norway and Denmark. Currently the best team in the world is France. On the women’s side it’s Norway. 
A handball course is forty by twenty meters. A match consists of two teams and two referees. On each team there are seven players. The game is all about scoring goals and stopping your opponent from doing so, just like in football. In the game there are two periods, one lasts for thirty minutes. The referee can give out yellow and red cards. He or she can also send a player to the bench for two minutes if they do something controversial.
You only have three steps with the ball but if you bounce it you have as many as you like. You throw the ball to your teammates. There are only two phases in the game, attack and defense. You score by throwing the ball in the goal past the goalkeeper. An average pro male handball player throws the ball at around 100 km/t. If the attack takes too long the referee gives the other team a free throw. There is a half circle in front of the goal were players aren’t allowed to go, only the keeper. This half circle is six meters from the end of the course. 
There are different leagues around the world. Some of the best ones are in France and Spain. If you win a game the team collects two points, tied is one and if you lose you don’t get any.
Handball is a sport with frequent injuries. You have to stay on you toes, sprint and tackle people for one hour. It’s common to get run over by other players or get hit in the head by a throwing arm. Even with these factors it’s a great sport!
BOCCIA
By Diogo Rebelo
Boccia is a precision Ball Sport. BISFED is the Boccia International Sports Federation.
Boccia started in Italy and it has been a part of the Paralympic Games since 1984 (USA). It tests the athlete's coordination, accuracy and concentration.
The most important competitions are the European, World and Paralympic Championship.
Boccia is a mixed sport, where there is no division by sex. It can be played individually, in pairs or by teams of three players.
The objective of Boccia is to place the coloured balls (six blues versus six reds) as close as possible to a target ball (white ball), which is strategically cast by a first player, into the game enclosure.
This sport requires a lot of concentration, coordination, muscular control, precision, teamwork, cooperation and strategy.
I am Diogo Rebelo and I have been practising this modality for about 5 years.
I really like this game because I put strategy into practice and at the same time I develop various skills, I meet several people.
It's a game that makes me feel alive and happy

Basketball
by Domantas Jasinskas
My hobbie is basketball. I am playing it with my friends. For me basketball is the best game ever. I learned to play it when I was eight and realised that I love this game.
Basketball, “The second religion of Lithuania”, attracts the largest crowds to arenas and TV screens.Lithuanian national team matches in the Championships are the most followed. There is a championship every year: biennial European championships (Eurobasket), and once every four years the World championship and the Olympic Games basketball tournament. With a few exceptions Lithuania managed to qualify to all of them in past 20 years so the nation is rarely left without these events that unify it every summer or early September.From autumn to spring the season of basketball clubs takes place. The two teams that are most followed are “Vilnius Lietuvos rytas” and “Kauno Žalgiris”. These teams, representing two largest cities of Lithuania, are major rivals (at least their fans are) and they both play in multiple leagues: Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL), Baltic Basketball League (BBL). Depending on the season, one or both of these teams also compete in Euroleague, the most prestigious league where the richest teams of many European nations fight for the title. Recently, however, the duopoly of Lithuanian club basketball has been joined by "Klaipėdos Neptūnas" team from the third largest city.Unlike the national team, which has never been out of Top 10 at the official FIBA rankings, the Lithuanian clubs are somewhat weaker. Cheaper tickets and less advertisement revenue rarely let them compete against the might of the top Spanish, Israeli and Western European teams in hiring the best basketball players. Therefore the best Lithuanian talent usually plays abroad. Still however, with budgets less than 10 million euros per year “Žalgiris” and “Lietuvos rytas” usually perform remarkably well, with “Žalgiris” even having been the Euroleague champions in 1999 and “Lietuvos rytas” winning other international trophies.

Hip hop and Street-dance
I like dancing. I have danced 8-years. Now I dance street and commercial dances. And I’m writing about street/hiphop.
Those are freestyle types. Street-dance is kind of a new dance-type. It is a mix of hiphop, house, locking, breakdance, old school and new style. Street and hiphop dances are very casual. You can use sneakers, loose pants, t-shirts, it doesn’t matter what you are wearing. There are lots of baunces and many other moves in those dance-types.
