Inspirational people

Hello, I am Radvile. Today I will tell you a little bit about Lithuanian
Inspirational people. We have a lot of talente athletes who represent our country in the
world. Basketball, athletics, swimming are among the most popular sports. Now I
want to talk about some famous Lithuanian sportsmen.
So, the best Lithuanian basketball player is Arvydas Sabonis. He won two
Olimpic bronze medals with Lithuania national team. He is an Olimpic champion too.
Arvydas Sabonis played seven seasons in the NBA in the United States. Sabonis made
his professional club debut in 1981, with one of the oldest basketball teams in
Lithuania, Žalgiris, in his hometown of Kaunas. 
The best Lithuanian swimmer is Rūta Meilutytė. She won all possible medals
in the world. Rūta Meilutytė, a fifteen years old, has become the youngest Olympic
champion. It’s a pitty, that she quit.
The other great sportsman is discus throw Virgilijus Alekna. He won two gold
medals and one the bronze medal in the Summer Olympics in the discus throw. His
personal record is about 74 meters. He was appointed as UNESCO Champion for
Sports. He became the Lithuanian Sportsman of the year for four times .
Austra Skujytė is a Lithuanian athlete. She is the Olympic silver and bronze
medalist in the heptathlon .This athlete broke the women’s decathlon world record
with a score of 8358. Skujytė is the first woman to compete in the heptathlon in four
different Olympic Games.
Daina Gudzinavičiūtė is an Olympic shooting champion and the president of
National Olympic Committee of Lithuania. She has set an Olympic record too. The
athlete has already achieved and improved 9 Lithuanian records.
Airinė Palšytė is a Lithuanian high jumper. Her personal best score is 2.01
metres. At the 2010 Lithuanian Athletics Championships, she won her first national
gold medal.
My family is interested in sports too. My uncle is the Olympic bronze medalist
in basketball. Now he is the third coach of Žalgiris team. His son is also a
professional basketball player.
I think the achievments of these athletes inspire young people to achieve their
goals. That’s why I started doing Athletics. I feel that sport is changing me, I have
become more patient and bolder. So that’s all about Inspirational people. Thank you
for listening and goodbye.
