Bo: Yes, it is. I get up at five...

Karen: Five! And do you start training then?

Bo: Well, first I have a cup of coffee then I start training at about five- thirty. You

know, it's quite cold at that time.

Karen: Right! I'm sure it is. When do you finish training, Bo?

Bo: Well, I practice cycling on the track for about two hours. Then I have a short break

for breakfast. After that, I do exercises for another few hours. I suppose I finish at

about midday.

Karen: So you're free after twelve. What do you do then?

Bo: You mean, what do I do in my spare time?

Karen: Right.

Bo: Well, we usually go swimming in the afternoon. That's all. I go to bed early. I want

to win a gold medal for Sweden.

Karen: Well, I hope you do. Thank you, Bo Lundquist. Next we have Bob Smith with me

in the studio. Bob's a long distance runner and the American 3000 meters

champion.

Bob: Hi!

Karen: Hello, Bob. How is your training going?

Bob: Fine, just fine. I have a really good program and I think I'm in first-class condition.

Karen: Tell me about it, Bob.

Bob: Well, I don't like training early in the morning. I don't know why. I just don't like

it. So I start around 10 o’clock.

Karen: Mmm. And what about having lunch?

Bob: I don't have lunch. Lunch makes me tired. I train all through the day until about

five o'clock.

Karen: Really? So late?

Bob: Yes! Then I shower and go home.

Karen: So you live right here in Atlanta, do you, Bob?

Bob: Yes. I'm married. We live on campus at the University.

Karen: What do you do in your spare time, Bob?

Bob: I don't have much spare time. I'm studying to be a doctor.

Karen: Don't you have any free time?

Bob: Not much. But when I relax I like listening to music. Music is really special to me.

Karen: Well, thank you, Bob and Bo. Good luck! This is Karen Finch at the Olympic

Village in Atlanta.

People in tropical countries can read about winter sports but are unable to participate in them. They cannot build snowmen, throw snowballs, toboggan, or ice-skate. Above all, they cannot go skiing.

Someone defined skiing as gliding over the ground on two boards. The sport is popular in America in the states which have snow in the winter months. The pleasure we take in this healthy outdoor activity is shared by the Finns, the Russians, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Germans, the Italians, the Swiss, and the French, who all live in temperate zones with winter climates. But what must people from Egypt, Libya, and Nigeria think of this strange sport?

Skiing, unlike tennis or baseball, is not a city sport. Until recently, even in countries with snow, it was limited to mountainous regions. Now there is a new variation that can be enjoyed by everyone. It is called ski touring.

Woman: On the matter of careers, a lot of the jobs that people go into are lifetime careers. What

about baseball? Is it a career over one's full lifetime?

Man: Baseball has been my life so far...as you know. I mean, I know someday, could be

tomorrow, that I'm going to be out of it.

Woman: But how long can you really expect to play, let's say, actively?

Man: I've set goals, and I made my first goal, which was to make it to the big leagues. Now,

my next goal is to make it through four years, to get my pension.

Woman: But how many years can you expect to play professional ball?

Man: I'm a pitcher, so it's difficult to say because you never know whether you're going to

have a sore arm, whether it's going to go out on you, or what other problem might

happen. But normally, as a pitcher, I guess the prime time for a pitcher is between

27 to 30. I'm 24 and this is my sixth year.

Woman: Well, is there any problem with a feeling of insecurity and...

Man: Yeah, there is. Especially, like I said, during my first year. I disciplined myself, and I

worked hard—and that's what got me here. And I realize that I have to work hard to

stay here. And there is the insecurity.

Woman: You're under contract?

Man: Right, I'm under contract. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything. They could send

me down tomorrow. They could do whatever they wanted with me.

Woman: What does it take to play professionally? I'm thinking about the level of skill. Is it

something that you just work hard to get, or is there a natural sort of ability?

Man: Well, there're people that have the natural ability, you know. I feel like I didn't have

much. I just worked hard and that's what got me here.
