Yesterday we got acquainted with the stories of many interesting athletes.
For example, Roy Jones is a professional boxer. By the way, his father was a professional boxer too but he didn’t gain any glory. Roy became boxing at 10 years. And during his career he had 70 fights where he lost only 8 times. Moreover, he is good in music. His passionate love is rap music, in 2001 he released his own music album. I was shocked because for me it was unexpected but it is really cool.

The next person I would like to talk about is Akinfeev Igor. He is famous russian soccer player and captain of our Soccer team in Moscow. Igor loved football since his childhood and tried to achieve his goals to become a famous sportsman. Also, he is a good father as he has a lovely wife and two children and Igor prefer to spend all his free time with them.

Richard Petty is an american former stock car racing driver who raced from 1958 to 1992 n the former NASCAR Great National. I was not impressed by this athlete, but I was impressed by his desire to achieve his goals and become the best driver in the world of racing. Moreover, he created a company that improves machines in speed, power, and so on.

Chuck Norris is a martial artist. Moreover, he is a film producer and film actor after early 70-s. One day he decided to try himself in judo and joined the US Athlete club. The 1967 was a year of success because he won lots of victories. After that he started to teach some children a karate.

Michael Jordan is a famous basketball player. This handsome man has 2 sons and he is a lovely dad. As for his career — he won in NBA Competitions few times. Also, Michael is the most marketed sports figures in history.

The last person is Mike Tyson. He is a famous professional boxer. Mike was borm in NY, Brooklyn and he had a cruel childhood. I can suppose that he became a “the worst person in the world” because he were very aggressive and took part in many fights. He participate in Olympic Games in 1994 and won lots of awards.

I was really happy to learn some new thing or sportsmans in general and now I feel closer to this area!
