That worries Onokuni a little hes a man who doesnt like to start too soo
23、n.Its the Panda who wins in the end. Fujino shin starts well, and he pushes the Panda backwards, but he doesnt seem to be able to follow through.

24、n for Onokuni.2. Now then, Hignitas came about 40 meters out of the goal there to take the ball. And he must be a worried man. Well, the atmosphere is really alight now here in Naples.

She is looking very good.Part More about the topic: SportsmanshipIf youre into sports, youve seen it happen. Youve probably even experienced it
29、. Football players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around. Tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match. Soccer players exchanging jerseys after an intense 90 minutes. Even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each r
30、ound, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 1_2 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. Whats going on?Its all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling
31、both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.What Is Sportsmanship?Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair following the rules of the game respecting the judgment of referees and officials treating opponents with respectSome people define good sportsmanship as the “golden rule” of sports
32、 in other words, treating the people you play with and against as youd like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges. and other officials.But sportsma
33、nship isnt just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders, fans. and parents also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.Practicing Good SportsmanshipSo what does it take t
34、o demonstrate good sportsmanship in real-life situations? Here are some examples of things you can do: Learn as much as you can about your sport. Play by its rules. Show up for practice, work hard, and realize that on a team, everyone deserves a chance to play. Talk politely and act courteously towa
35、rd everyone before, during, and after games and events. Stay cool. Even if others are losing their tempers, it doesnt mean you have to. Remind yourself that no matter how hard youve practiced and played, it is, after all, just a game. Avoid settling disputes with violence. If youre in a difficult si
36、tuation or someones threatening you, seek help immediately from your coach or from an official. Remember, too, that if you respond with violence you could get penalized, which could hurt your chances of winning. Cheer your teammates on with positive statements and avoid trash-talking the other team.
37、Acknowledge and applaud good plays, even when someone on the other team makes them. When officials make a call, accept it gracefully even if it goes against you. Remember that referees may not be right every time but theyre people who are doing their best, just as you are. Whether you win or lose, c
38、ongratulate your opponents on a game well playedPart V Memory test: Which Sport? First commentator: . and McAlister bringing up the rear. And Brown is a good 4 yards ahead at the half-way mark and hes still jumping smoothly and confidently. Smith is moving up steadily, though I think hes tiring. And
39、 Brown glances back over his shoulder, hes still got a good lead. Oh, my goodness me! Hes fallen, what a tragedy, hes on the ground and Smiths going past him with a smile on his face. Oh this really is a terrible disappointment for young Leroy Brown from Croydon, who had such high hopes of making th
40、e final Second commentator: . backhand across court to Bradford, return across the net, Davis just reaches it at full stretch with a forehand low across the net, Bradford lobs and Davis smashes the ball into the net. Oh, what a bad mistake at this stage of the match by this 22-year-old New Zealander
41、 .Umpire: Deuce.Commentator: And Bradford serves from the left-hand court, quick passing shot from Davis who smashes that one down .Third Commentator: . and with sixty seconds left in this final round, Robson is still very much on the attack. A left-hand jab to the shoulder has Leonard staggering ba
42、ck onto the ropes and Leonard is really in trouble now as Robson moves in with that lethal right hand of his, hes really punishing this 18-year-old Scot. And the referees moving forward pushing Robson away hes having a word with him, I think he may be going to warn him, no hes not, hes having a word
43、 with Leonard now. Leonard is shaking his head and looking terribly tired . and the referee . hes stopped the fight . its all over and so Robson is now the new .Fourth Commentator: . a fine shot puts the red into the center pocket and leaves him in a good position to take the pink and hes going to t
44、ry to put it into the far pocket he may be making a big mistake here, but Thompson is a very experienced player and he doesnt usually make mistakes . Oh dear, hes pocketed the cue ball . a very bad error there and that really does leave it wide open for Donovan to take the frame .Fifth Commentator:
45、. so its the All Stars in the lead at the beginning of the third quarter and its still anyones match. Anderson with a high ball to Sampson who takes it up towards the Rochester net and passes to Green for a shot but it goes wide and the loose ball is picked up by Thomas for Rochester, across to Hunt
46、er, the 21-year-old Welsh international, who tries a long shot and its in! 23 all now and everything to play for .Sixth Commentator: . Williams takes the throw and St Marys get the ball, it goes back to Murphy and out to Green and then to Jones, whos unmarked. Hes got a clear run to the far corner i
47、f . Oh, hes making for the post. This could be dangerous because the Richmond fullback is gaining on him now. He looks back but hes not going to make it. He tries a kick and . hes just managed to make touch. Lucky there. And now theres a lineout on the far side, 20 yards from the Richmond goal line
48、.Seventh Commentator: . not a good start for the British girl but shes managing to make it up and the Russian girl is now only about five strokes ahead. And at the turn, Debbie is closing the gap, the Russian girl is visibly tiring, this is where stamina really counts and at 24 Ludmilla may well be less fit than 15-year-old Debbie Woods. And its between the two of them, theyre side by side now and with 10 yards to go . what a finish! Come on Debbie, you can do it . Come on Debbie .
