My Favourite Sportsman
My favourite sportsman

Kimi Raikönnen is my favourite sportsman. He is a Finnish racing driver. When he joined the Sauber Formula 1 team he was only 21 and had raced in only 23 car races in his life. But he had won more than half of them. He won the Championship with Ferrari in 2007. Then he took a break from Formula 1 for a while and raced in rallies, but last year he returned back, driving for the Lotus team.
Räikkönen is very calm, cool, and calculating in his race strategy and he is known for his absence of emotion which is why he is nicknamed 'The Iceman'. Whether he wins a race or his car breaks down and robs him of certain victory, he stays cool and detached, showing little emotion of any kind. There is nothing that really makes him upset, angry or happy for more than for fifteen minutes or so.
It was unbelievable how Kimi appeared already at the beginning. Before his first race - just half an hour before the start - his team was preparing the start, but Raikkonen wasn’t there. They started to search for him and his engineer eventually found him, sleeping gently in a room at the back of the garage. He had to wake him up and he just said: “Jo, let me still sleep a bit. Give me 5 minutes.”
Why do I like him so much? The answer is that he is a character and one who makes me laugh.

Football is a sport played between two teams. The game is played on a football pitch. Each team has 11 players on the field. One of these players is the goalkeeper, and the other ten are known as "outfield players." The game is played by kicking a ball into the opponent's goal. A match has 90 minutes of play, with a break of 15 minutes in the middle. Players may not use their hands or arms, except the goalkeeper, who may use them within his own penalty area.

    15 years back when I decided to be a car racer, I was an embarrassingly slow driver with poor driving skills. But proper driving school trainings and hard work made my career. I still remember that I got the chance of taking part in a three day race driving class at the Bridgestone racing school. Drivers from all around the world took part in that race. Every driver was experienced and skilled at the high end racing except me! The race ended and obviously my name was not in the winner lists. But my zeal in this career made me a car racer. But I was not a looser. During my sports career I had won many championships. Most memorable day of my career till now is when I won a Radical Middle East Cup. What a day it was! That day I realized that hard work certainly pays off and nothing is…
