Justyna Kowalczyk has had an everlasting positive impact on the Polish community worldwide. Ever since her first physical education teacher, competitions in flat racing and cyclo-cross, and playing basketball and hand ball, Kowalczyk has always had an itch for becoming the Champion of Polish Youth in sports. In years to come, she eventually won the first point of the World Cup in 2001, the bronze, silver and gold medals in Vancouver, and the first Polish athlete to win the free sprint technique after being ranked number two, against Marit Bjoergen. More recently, she has won the gold medal in Sochi, Russia in the 10-km run, classic-style. In all of these competitions, Justyna Kowalczyk proudly represented the country of her background: Poland.
While others were drooling over Shon Jonsen’s young athletic abilities, I was in awh over Anastasia Valeryevna (Nastia) Liuikin’s beauty and her ability to present herself so well. Born in Moscow on October 30, 1989, her family quickly moved to the United States for a better opportunity for two year-old Nastia. Since 2005, Nastia has been on U.S. National team at the level of Senior International Elite, preforming in the Olympics and other International/Regional/National competitions. I look up to her because of her style, pose, humbleness, dedication, and the way she presents herself. I think after I saw her in the 2008 Olympics I collected everything and anything that had her on it!!

Keep Olympic Age Limits to Protect Young Athletes My mom and I followed the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing very carefully. As a gymnast myself, I was very interested in the gymnastics competition. I, like much of the gymnastics world, was fascinated by the controversy surrounding the age of the Chinese gymnasts. As you may recall, the age of four Chinese gymnasts was brought into question during the Olympics in Bejing. Due to how young the gymnasts looked, people were saying that these girls were under the minimum age required to compete in the Olympics.
Dorothy Hamill: An Inspiration On and Off the Ice Who could have ever imagined that a little girl who got her first pair of figure skates for $5.99 would turn out to be an Olympic champion? Since her gold medal performance in the 1976 Winter Games, Dorothy Hamill has been one of the most recognizable and influential figure skaters in history. From her dedication to the sport, to her work with the Kennedy Krieger Institute, and also her fundraising for breast cancer research, Hamill has become the perfect example of what a figure skater can accomplish. I think that she is a strong role model for people involved in the sport and she has affected figure skating in a very positive way. She has also been an influence on me in my own skating, and has inspired me to work hard.

Cheerleading was once considered merely a social activity specifically for girls. It has grown rapidly since the 1970s and is now considered a sport in its own right. This change has resulted in an increased focus on athleticism and competition with other cheerleading squads, and males have become a larger part of the sport. Cheerleading has also become one of the most dangerous sports for high school and college athletes (“Cheerleading Special”). Cheerleading has evolved immensely from sideling squads, which base their success on looks and popularity to competitive teams, which strive for perfection.
This essay will explain how I will always have the passion, dedication, and talent to pursue my goals in cheerleading. First, I became interested in cheerleading because my cousin Dana worked at Pittsburgh Pride all-star cheerleading gym as a private tumbling coach. As a little kid she would always take me out to her work and let me run around and play at the gym. I would always see the cheerleaders practicing on the mats in front of me, until one day I joined the class with everyone. I loved it and wanted to come back or more.
