Difficulties for Spanish ice skaters

Difficulties for Spanish people to train on ice.

In Spain there are only 8 ice rinks so there aren't many skaters in Spain. The bigger rinks are in Madrid, Andalucía and teh north of Spain. In the Valencian Community there are 2: one in Valencia and the other in Elche. They arebar as big as Madrid's but they're great. To train on a small rink has pros and cons. On one hand less people can train at the same time so you are with less people when you train, also when you go to a big rink you get more tired. Ono the other hand, the good feelings that you have when you go to a big rink to a competition and you see that youycan skate also in a big rink without getting very tired, are great. People that train on small rinks aren't sad because of the rink. Because if you train in the worst place, if you like what you do and you really want to practice it you can do it because you want.

Taekwondo is a martial art. It was invented in korea 2000 years ago. They used it in battles, and it was a religius art. Today taekuondois an olimpic sport. There are two forms: combatan "poomsae". The "poomsae" is a self defense. When you compete in combat if you give your oponent a kick in the stomach they give you 1 point and if you give your opponent a kick in the head the give you 3 points . There are 3 stages and they last betwwen 1 and 2 minuts, you wear protection covering your body. When you compete in "poomsae" you have to do a "poomsae"and the judges give you points, and the person with the higest score wins. In taekwondo there are 11 belts, the colour of the belts are: white, white and yellow, yellow , yellow and orange, orange, orange and greeen, green, green and blue, blue, blue and brown, brown and the last belt is black. You move up in belts doing a practical test, if when you get to the black belt and you aren't over 16 you have to wear a red and black belt until you become 16 years old. I do taekwondo, now I'm red and black belt, I started to do taekwondo when i was 5, and when i was between 8 and 9 I started to compete, before that i did exhibitions in catral. I train 3 hours a week, but when I have a competition I usually train 4 or 5 hours.
