Sporting heroes
What makes someone a sporting hero? Millions of spectators watched Usain Bolt running in the 2008
Olympics in Beijing. He broke the world record in three athletics events. At the same Olympic Games, the
American swimmer Michael Phelps won eight gold medals and broke seven world records. The world media
went crazy! Everyone loves a champion.
But at the Olympics there is also another kind of hero. Have you ever seen the film Cool Runnings? It’s a
funny film about a bobsleigh team from Jamaica. It’s based on the true story of a Jamaican team who
competed in the Winter Olympics in 1988. They lived in a country with no snow, they had nowhere to train
and no money from the government or big businesses to help them, but they made it to the Olympics and they
raced for their country. The Olympic Games have many stories like this.
When Eric Moussambani, from Equatorial Guinea in central Africa, swam in the 100 m freestyle in Sydney in
the 2000 Olympic Games, the international media reported it around the world. He didn’t win a gold medal.
He didn’t break any records. In fact, his time at one minute and fifty-two seconds was more than twice the
time of Pieter van den Hoogenband, who broke the world record with a time of 47.84 seconds. Before the
Olympics, Moussambani trained in a twenty-metre hotel pool. He only started swimming eight months before
the Olympic Games. The race was his first time in an Olympic-sized fifty-metre swimming pool. And the
crowd clapped and cheered for Moussambani until he reached the finish line.
These people are not champions and they do not go back to their countries with a handful of medals, but they
are heroes because they try.

One-click shopping
1 ______
What can you buy online? These days you can buy food, cars, holidays and even a house with a few clicks and a
credit card. In fact, it might be quicker to list the things that you can’t buy on the Internet.
2 ______
According to statistics, 85% of Internet users have bought something online. In 2006 only 10% of the world’s
population shopped on the Internet. Two years later the figure was 40% – that’s nearly 900 million shoppers!
3 ______
It’s easy to see why people are choosing their computer instead of the high street. With city centres getting more
and more crowded, and things like petrol and parking getting so expensive, it makes sense to avoid the crowds
and shop from home. There are often great deals on the Internet too.
4 ______
Of course, there are disadvantages to shopping for things online. You can’t try clothes on before you buy, so they
can sometimes be the wrong size, or disappointing when they arrive. And of course, Internet shoppers have to be
patient and wait for the goods to arrive.
5 ______
So will Internet shopping replace shopping in town completely? It’s hard to say, but most people think it won’t,
even with more and more Internet offers and possibilities. In the UK shopping with friends or family has become
one of the most popular leisure activities. Many people simply enjoy going shopping.
