SKI RACER

I have been a professional ski racer for more than 10 years. Since I was a child, skiing has been the center of my life. With the encouragement and support of my family I practiced skiing a lot. The more I practiced the more I fell in love with this sport. Now, it is not only a sport for me, it is a part of my life. I got some medals and trophies for skiing in my country. I also represented my country internationally and got some awards, but I was still thinking that I should do more. So, I started to search more about skiing races and wondered what else I could do for myself and for my country. While I was looking through some websites, I came across Worldloppet.

Worldloppet is an international sports federation which organizes skiing marathons. This federation was founded in 1978 in Sweden and since then they have organized cross-country skiing races around the world. Countries from Europe, America, Asia and Oceania are also members of this foundation.

This foundation has some strategies. Firstly, if you are the best competitor of your country you have the chance to be a member of Worldloppet. Secondly, each race is usually held once a year. Thirdly, there are different races for everyone in terms of length and techniques. As a result, there are 100,000 participants of Worldloppet every year.

Kangaroo Hoppet is one of the races that this foundation organizes. It started in 1979 and it takes place in Australia. The race is 21 kilometers with 80 participants. In 1995, they had the biggest number of participants since there were 1588 participants at that time. Many people around the world go there to take part in this race and they have a useful website that gives you information about many things. For example; you can go there by train or by renting cars. On their website they also warn people that they drive on the left side of the road in Australia. They also remind people that they can save some money by ridesharing so that this process can be a more interesting experience for them. When you go to this ski place, there are many sites to visit.

I think I want to join this race but I need to confirm it first. I feel very excited now. Next week I will have a meeting with my trainer and we will talk about his issue together. Wish me good luck!
