    Fencing - Renata Campos 9°a


     



       Well, Fencing is considered as the oldest sport in the West, itt is believed that is in prehistory when the man was using weapons to attack and defense of animals , which is found the origin of fencing, i don't know if you guys but I could not imagine cavemen wearing a white and tight clothing  .... Back to the subject, it was in France in the XVII century came the first fencing schools. New moves have been created and combat the teaching was done on tracks painted on the floor. Moreover, at that time opened the discussion on fighting tools: the best was the sword with its tip cut, or the saber, the main blow was cut. It is said that many tests - in the form of duel - were performed to define which of the two instruments would be the best, but no results were achieved. Soon after this period, fencing began to evolve as a sport. Appeared lighter and less dangerous equipment such as rapier, and other more conducive to safety equipment: gloves, masks and vests for teachers. Furthermore, in order to prevent injury during training, some conventions have been established, for example, two people could not attack the same time. In the early nineteenth century, duels were extinct. The wound caused by the sword, which was once a sign of victory, is now replaced by the signals given by the referee. The introduction of the fencing at the Olympic Games took place in his first edition of the modern era in Athens, 1896.

Rules:

The label requires , first, that opponents to shake hands as they entered the track. The movement is done quickly with weapons , before they place the masks . Each fencer on track compliments the opponent, the referee and assistants; then put their masks.  The dispute may be individual or teams.In rapier worth touch the tip of the gun only in the opponent's torso (front and back) and ventral region. The sword is worth to touch the tip of the gun at any part of the body. In saber worth touch the tip and the cutting or counter-cutting blade weapon. The region must be reached is above the waist, including arms and excluding hands. In foil and saber, there is the so-called "right of way" or "sentence d'weapon." Who gets the attack has priority to win the point if touch simultaneously. If you miss the attack or if the opponent unable to defend before the response, the advantage goes to the opponent. In case it happens simultaneous touches without priority, no one scores. The sword, there is no sentence of arms in case of simultaneous touch, both opponents gain a point. If there is a tie in a sword fight, it is normal to give the players a few minutes to rest before they continue fighting for touch-breaker. On rare occasions, when it continues to give the tie situation, there may be a draw to elect the winner. In competitions , in the qualifying stage takes five touches or three minutes to win. In the qualification round are accurate fifteen touches or nine minutes. These rules may be flexible depending on the territorial level of competition and the responsible agency . Fencers in a silent or non- electric combat ( without electronics ) are observed by a referee and four assistants. In doubles, these aids are two steps behind each player , on both sides of the track and observe whether there is or not touch on fencer opponent. Eventually , in cases of doubt the referee, the assistants are called to a vote to see if there was score or not. The referee asks if there was a situation and the arbitrators can answer "yes" , "no" or " abstain".

Modern sport

Since the first Olympic Games of the modern era ( 1896) fencing is part of the Olympic events , one of four modes that are part of the Olympic Games since the first edition . Male disputes started in the Olympics with the foil and saber in 1896. The sword was introduced in men's disputes in the Olympic Games 1900 . In 1924 , women began to participate in the Olympic Games only in individual foil mode , a status he held until 1992. Since 1996 , they also began to compete in the Olympics in sword mode . Finally , from 2004 they began to compete in the Olympic Games with the do. Although the term " fencing match " often be used in brandish never have a "fight" but rather " a fencing match," because the fencing is a sport.

Clara Strack 9E Boxing

Boxing is a kind of fighting sport. We must have two fighters to compete in ring, and this one, must be an octagon ( or a square, usually at training gyms). The weight is the main factor for fight and it selects who fight together. The categories of fighters are based on the weight. If some fighter is over weight, he will not fight in your supposted categorie, he will go to some havier ( unlike too).
Win the fight who knock out the opponent. If it doesn't happend, win who do more attacks, unanimous decision from judges. The fighters can´t use their legs to knock out, just arms. Boxing fights usually during three to five rounds, each one during five minutes.
You must put your hands up all time to protect yourself if you don´t want to be hurt. Your legs must me inflected to have agility to dodge and attack. There are so many ways to hurt and knock out the opponent. Some fights end in seconds.
Some fighters that i love:

Guilherme Sager - 9C - Weightlifting

Weightlifting

Weightlifting, also called Olympic-style weightlifting, or Olympic weightlifting, is an athletic discipline in the modern Olympic programme in which the athlete attempts a maximum-weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates.

The two competition lifts in order are the snatch and the clean and jerk. Each weightlifter receives three attempts in each, and the combined total of the highest two successful lifts determines the overall result within a bodyweight category. Bodyweight categories are different for male and female competitors. A lifter who fails to complete at least one successful snatch and one successful clean and jerk also fails to total, and therefore receives an "incomplete" entry for the competition. The clean and press was once a competition lift, but was discontinued due to difficulties in judging proper form.

In comparison with other strength sports, which test limit strength (with or without lifting aids), Weightlifting tests aspects of human ballistic limits (explosive strength); the lifts are therefore executed faster—and with more mobility and a greater range of motion during their execution—than other strength movements. Properly executed, the snatch and the clean and jerk are both dynamic and explosive while appearing graceful, especially when viewed from a recording at a slowed speed.

While there are relatively few competitive Olympic weightlifters, the lifts performed in the sport of weightlifting, and in particular their component lifts (e.g. squats, deadlifts, cleans), are commonly used by elite athletes in other sports to train for both explosive and functional strength.

João Pedro Abarno Dias - 9C - Golf

 GOLF

Golf is a club and ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible.

The game is played on a course with an arranged progression of either nine or 18 holes. Each hole on the course must contain a base to start from, and a putting green containing the actual hole, that is the main objective. There are other standard forms of terrain in between, such as the fairway, rough, and hazards, but each hole on a course is unique in its specific layout and arrangement.

Golf is played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, or the lowest score on the most individual holes in a complete round by an individual or team, known as match play.

Altough golf is an scottish sport, it is played worldwide and is a major fever.

Some of the best golf players all around the world are:

        Jason Day
        Dustin Johnson

        Jordan Spieth
        Henrik Stenson
        Rory McIlroy
        Bubba Watson
        Adam Scott

Curiosities: Early golf balls used to be filled with feathers. These would be stuffed into a leather case with an iron rod. In the 1840s, golf balls began to be made out of gutta percha (a form of natural rubber). These were cheaper and more hard-wearing than the feathered version but meant golf clubs became heavier and did more damage to the grounds.

Archery - Isis L. Rospide 9ºC

The Introduction (whose author may have become too excited)

You don't need to be an elf to look awesome. The secret is the bow.

Okay, let's be real here: archery is and will always be super awesome. 

I mean, you're watching Lord of The Rings and suddenly, BAM, Legolas. Robin Hood was a master of the bow. And if I start talking about Merida, from that movie, "Brave", i'm not going to stop. Killing orcs by distance can be really useful... Well, at least in videogames. There's no such thing in the real life...

... Oh, wait. I'm lying. This is totally a real thing. 

(I mean archery. This creepy beggar in your neighbourhood can look just like an orc, but he just didn't had good oportunities in his life. So, leave him alone. Don't shoot him.)

Women competing in the 1904 olympics

Archery is a really old thing, because it was used for hunting since the very beggining of the civilisation (some scientists say the bow was invented in the Paleolithic age). Archery was not a sport, but something they used to survive (as I said before, it was used for hunting, but it was also used to shoot other people, and it was really helpful when the subject was "protecting you village from the other villages that want to steal your food and kill your people" (and also, more animals! Like, the big ones that could kill everyone. We don't need orcs, the nature is doing a great work all by herself). But eventually, they invented firearms. So, bye bye archery...

Well, not really, because archery became a popular and actual sport in the 16th century, with tournaments in England. It was a long way, but in 1900, archery was included in the Olympic Games. And in 1904, women archers where allowed to compete too. Since this, archery became one of the leading sports of the Olympics. 

The rules (and some cool things)

You have one simple objective: hit the target. Specifically, the bull's eye (also known as the centre). From a distance of 70m. 

Yeah. simple. But not easy, right?

The archer has to shoot six arrows in a target, in only 40 seconds. The finals are half of these (wich means that you have three arrows and 20 seconds to do your job). If you hit the centre, it's 10 points, and the farther from the centre, less points you get (the outer ring is only one point).

When the arrows get close in the target, it means that the archer's shooting is consistent, and that's called grouping.
And, we have Robin Hood. Not the guy, but the archery's most difficult shoot: is when the arrow hits another one that it's already in the target, and splitts it down the middle. 

Modern competitions and relevant competitors

The World Archery Federation (known as WA or FITA, because of its former french name,  Fédération Internationale de Tir à l'Arc) governs the (magical) archery world, and it's the body who deliver the rules to the Olympic Games. There's a FITA archery world cup, and the World Archery Championship. 

Soo-Nyung Kim

Nowadays, South Korea is the best of the best in terms of archery, and they won lot's of medals in the Olympics. The Top Three of female medalists is ranked by three south-korean women. Soo-Nyung Kim is the best one: she has 4 golden medals, one silver and one bronze. She's also the most decorated Olympian in Korean history.

Hubert Van Innis was a Belgian competitor, and he won a total of 9 medals. He's still the Top Male Medalist. 

This is Hubert. And he looks really happy with his bow. 

The target.

Just a thought: 

At the Olympics oficial site, you can read this: 

And that's it. Archery is awesome. And we shouldn't forget this.

EQUESTIANISM

Characteristics:

Equestrianism is a very old sport practiced by a man and his horse. Equestrianism

is more often known as riding, horseback riding or horse riding, usually refers to the skill of riding, driving with horses.

Riding is the on-line sport in which men and women compete together, on equal terms.

In olimpic games, riding is divided into 3 modes:

•        Equestrian jumping;

•        Equestrian Dressage;

•        CCE (eventing).

§  Training ( or Dressage)

In this test, the rider must perform a series of movements in a given period of time. The judges evaluate the competitor with scores from 0 to 10.

§  Jump

In jumping, the rider must pass, with his horse, from 12 to 15 obstacles on a track measuring 700-900 meters. Is aiming for a clean run without faults and penalidades.O winner will be the rider who miss less (not committing faults and deviations) in less time. Power, strength, speed and horse obedience are essential in jumping competitions

§  CCE (eventing)

The three tests of the ECC are carried out individually, and the rider can never change your horse with the evidence already in progress. Each step has a value and the sum of the three scores determines the final classification. The competition begins with a veterinary control, where horses are enabled to compete in the three ECC events. Mode that combines jumping, dressage and cross country (artificial and natural obstacles like bushes)

EVENTS

All events are important each for its category

The main competition equestrian, worldwide, are the World Equestrian Games. They are organized since 1990 by the International Equestrian Federation.Another important event in world equestrianism is the Olympic Games.

His daughter, Ingrid Klimke, was part of the German team winning, winning the gold medal in CCE in Beijing 2008 Games and London 2012.

SIR HARRY LLEWELLYN (GRÃ-BRETANHA)

(Jumping)

Son of the owner of a coal mine in Wales, Llewellyn formed a legendary partnership with Foxhunter, and which only a year later, won the bronze medal team at the London Olympics. In 1952, Llewellyn and Foxhunter won the gold medal in Helsinki, which became the only gold medal won by Britain in these Olympics.

MEADE RICHARD (GRÃ-BRETANHA)

(CCE)

The Welsh became the British Olympic rider most successful in history, winning three gold medals and was the first British rider to win an individual Olympic gold medal. He competed in four consecutive Olympic Games from 1964 to 1976 in addition to winning two gold medals World and three European. He carried the flag for Britain at the closing ceremony of the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.

Curiosities:

   From time to time, the horse refuses to jump the obstacle. This situation gives the name of "waste".

   One of Knight's goals is to "zero out" a presentation. This occurs when he does not commit any fault and therefore no point is deducted.

Federation:Internationally, the FEI (International Equestrian Federation), headquartered in Switzerland, organizes competitions and equestrian events. In Brazil, we have the CBH (Brazilian Confederation of Equestrian).
