Which is more important in sport – winning or
taking part? Are you a good loser?
I think that taking part in
sports is much important than winning because by taking part in a specific
sport you must enjoy your time with other people. You might win and you might
lose and that must not affect you. For example, being a good loser is that you
are accepting the fact that you did not win the game. So that means that you are
very happy for the other person of winning.
2.
Should we always try to keep politics out of
sport?
Yes, we should always try to keep
politics out of sports because there might be some fights and disagreement
between the two teams. For example, in a football match if a team wins the
other team might get angry and they might get into a big fight with the winning
team, this can ruin the whole game and sometimes games are cancelled because of
politics.
3.
What are the most important events in the
sporting calendar in your country? Which of these events do you enjoy most? Why?
The most important event in the
sporting calendar in Qatar is football. Everybody watches football back in my
country. I enjoy watching and playing football because when I was young I used
to play with my cousins and uncle. Most of my family were famous football
players back in Qatar. So they used to teach us how to play it and what are the
rules of playing.

In Britain, the big events include the boat
race, the Grand National & the derby (horse races). The five nations
(rugby) the FA cup final (football), the test match (cricket) and Wimbledon (tennis).
Which of these would you like to see? Why?
I would like to see the FA cup
final (football) because I enjoy watching football and it is very interesting. As
I said in question 3 I used to watch football and play it when I was young and that’s
because of my uncle he was very obsessed with football so he wants us all to
love it and cheer him when he is playing. Moreover, I enjoy watching Qatar football
league mostly but I also get interested in watching any other football leagues
all around the world.
5.
Is it easy to take part in sport in your
country? Which sports do you do and how often do you take part?
It is very easy to take part in
sports back in my country Qatar. There are lots of stadiums and places that you
may go and register for playing sports, most of the places are free but private
places may charge you a little. The sport that I enjoy doing is swimming; I go
to swimming twice a week in a spa saloon where they have a huge swimming pool.
6.
Who are your sporting heroes and heroines? Why do
you admire them?
My hero is Lionel Messi.
According to Simply Barcelona Tickets (2007) “Lionel Messi
joined Barcelona in 2000 at the age of 13. Initially playing for the Under 14s,
Messi moved up the ranks through the club’s Youth, C and B teams before joining
the first team squad in record time. At the time of his first team debut in a
friendly match in the 2003-4 season he was just 16 years of age.”
My heroine is Martina
Moravcova. As Foster stated in my Hero (2008) that Martina is 28 years old. She
is a Slovakia famous swimmer she took the world champion league and she won
multiple medals in the Olympic Games. People call her Slovak Fish and that was
her nickname.
7.
Should the Olympic Games be held only in Greece or
should they change between different countries? Where would you like to see
them held next time?
They should change between
different countries so that each country can take part on organising the Olympic
Games. I would like the Olympic game to be held in Britain next time.
8.
Do you think that boxing is a true sport? Should
it be included in the Olympic Games? Should it be made illegal?
For me Boxing is not a true sport.
It is very violent. If kids watch it they might fight with their brothers and
friends and they might end up in hospital or being killed. Boxing must stay
illegal and must not be included in the Olympic Games because it is bad for our
children to watch this violence.
9.
Which is your favourite sport to watch and what
do you think are the qualities of a good team or a true champion in that sport?
My favourite sport to watch is
football matches. There are many qualities that a good team or a true champion may
have. For example, a good communication between each other, a daily
participation, they must have trust and commitment, they must defend each other
and have a social communication with people and players.
