XX. Read these two reports on health and fitness, which were published in the journal Health. Who is healthier and in good physical shape: Sue or Jose Augusto?

Sue:

I get quite a lot of exercise. The tube station is about ten minutes from my flat, so of course I do that walk twice a day, five times a week. Then I go to aerobics two or three times a week. Sometimes I miss a week or two, but I always pick it up again. I avoid taking lifts if I can – I'll walk up about four floors. Unfortunately, where I'm working at the moment I'm on the sixth floor, so I have to take the lift. I'm generally very careful about what I eat. I don't eat sugary or fatty foods if I can possibly help, because of my weight and my teeth. But I don't worry about salty food much. At home I usually grill rather than fry food. If I'm eating out I never have anything fried, always grilled. I eat fruit every day for lunch: an orange and a banana, and sometimes an apple as well. But one thing that's bad is that I drink an awful lot of coffee, always more than twelve cups a day. I think I lead quite a healthy life. I don't smoke. I have tried it but I didn't like it. Once in a blue moon I fall asleep in front of the television. I usually wake up looking forward to the day, but at the moment I don't because I don't like the girl I work with. I certainly do at the weekends!

Jose Augusto:

Ten years ago I did a lot of exercise. I went to the beach and played football for seven or eight hours. But since I started working and studying at the same time I just haven't had time for that sort of thing. I'm afraid I'm getting fat. I like walking, but in Brazil we don't really have the right climate for it, so I usually take buses or taxis. I always walk up stairs rather than take the lift. It's the only gymnastics I do! I know sugary, salty and fatty foods aren't good for me, but I never worry about what I eat. My mother does all the cooking; she usually fries things and hardly ever grills. But I eat lots of fresh fruit every day: apples, oranges, bananas. I love strawberries, but we don't often have them in Santos. Even though I'm Brazilian I don't drink much coffee – just a cup between classes. I never think of my lifestyle, but I don't think it's unhealthy. I don't smoke because I get bronchitis frequently. At the weekends I don't usually come home until 2 or 3 in the morning. Then I sometimes turn the television on, and immediately fall asleep!

Alexey Voevoda

Alexey Voyevoda has won numerous championships in his armwrestling career. He was defeated by Travis Bagent at the 2003 WAF championship, but won the Zloty Tur 2004 cup one year later, defeating high level armwrestlers such as Bagent, Brzenk, Matt Girdner, and Alexey Semerenko. Voyevoda reclaimed the WAF championship in 2004 (leftand right-handed) and won the European

62

Championship the same year. After a left hand vendetta match with Alexey Semerenko (winning 4–2) and Travis Bagent (losing 5–1) in 2005, Voyevoda took a break from his professional armwrestling career to return bobsleigh training until 2007. He returned in 2007 and defeated Michael Todd (6-0), but again left to focus on bobsledding. He returned again in 2016, losing (5-1) against Tim Bresnan. His most notable victory over John Brzenk in 2004, was immortalized in the feature-length documentary “Pulling John”.

A professional bobsleigher since 2002, Voyevoda won silver in the four-man bobsleigh event with teammates Philipp Egorov, Alexei Seliverstov, and Alexandr Zoubkov at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. He also won a bronze in the two-man event at the 2008 FIBT World Championships in Altenberg, Germany. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Voyevoda won a bronze in the two-man event. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Voyevoda initially won a gold medal in the two-man event and a gold medal in the four-man event. Voyevoda received the Order For Merit to the Fatherland Award 4th class with Russian President Vladimir Putin handing the state awards.

Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova is a Russian tennis player who was one of the game’s leading contenders in the early 21st century, the winner of five Grand Slam titles. Sharapova began playing tennis as a young child, and in 1993 she caught the attention of Czech-born American tennis star Martina Navratilova. Following a suggestion by Navratilova, Sharapova and her father moved (1994) to Florida, where she quickly earned a scholarship to a tennis academy. In 2001, at the age of 14, she turned pro. At the time, women’s tennis was shifting to a power game, which suited Sharapova’s dominating style of play and her size; she eventually reached a height of 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 metres). In 2003 she competed in every Grand Slam event, with her best finish coming at Wimbledon, where she reached the fourth round. That year she won her first Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) titles, at Tokyo and Quebec City. In 2004 she defeated Serena Williams in the final at Wimbledon to win her first Grand Slam. The following year Sharapova was ranked number one for the first time in her career, reaching the semifinals at

63

the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. In 2006 she won the latter event, and in 2008 she claimed her third Grand Slam, at the Australian Open.

Later that year, however, Sharapova was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff, an injury that eventually required surgery. She returned to the court in mid-2009, and over the next two seasons she claimed several WTA titles, though a Grand Slam championship eluded her; Sharapova’s best result occurred in 2011, when she lost the Wimbledon finals. She returned to form in 2012, however, winning the French Open to become just the seventh female player in the Open era to complete a career Grand Slam. That year she also captured a silver medal at the London Olympic Games. After a solid start in 2013 – highlighted by an appearance in the French Open final, which she lost to Williams – a shoulder injury forced Sharapova to miss the last six months of the season. She returned to competitive play in 2014, and later that year she won the French Open, her fifth Grand Slam.

In March 2016 Sharapova revealed that she had taken meldonium (marketed as Mildronate) – a heart medication that had recently been added to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of banned substances – during the Australian Open earlier in the year. Three months later she was suspended from tennis for two years by the International Tennis Federation for her meldonium-induced failure of a drug test. (Her suspension was reduced to 15 months upon appeal.) Sharapova returned to the WTA tour in April 2017. However, she struggled to regain her form and continued to be plagued by injuries. In 2020 she announced her retirement. Her memoir, Unstoppable: My Life So Far (written with Rich Cohen), was published in 2017.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is often regarded as one of the best footballers to have ever played the game and his performances over the better part of a decade have only helped in reinforcing that belief among football fans. Ronaldo grew up in Madeira, Portugal but after graduating from the youth set up at Sporting Club he was immediately snapped up by English club Manchester United after his talent as a winger was spotted by their legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Ronaldo spent six years at Manchester United and that was where he developed his game as a skillful, quick, lethal winger who could score goals and create opportunities for his team mates. He won plenty of trophies for Manchester United and also shone for the Portugual before he moved to Real

Madrid as the world’s most expensive player. At Real Madrid he has broken some of the most important goal scoring record that had stood for many years and also

64

led the club to important trophies. Ronaldo is also the captain of the Portuguese national team and led them to victory in Euro 2016 – their first-ever triumph in a major tournament. He has also won several individual awards that have further cemented his status as one of the world’s premier footballers. With over 415 million followers, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most-followed individual on Instagram.

Alina Zagitova

Alina Zagitova is a young Russian figure skater who achieved great success in single figure skating and was awarded the title of Master of Sports of Russia.

Alina Zagitova was born on May 18, 2002 in Izhevsk. Being the eldest daughter of the famous trainer Ilnaz Zagitov, Alina is a Tatar girl. Alina's mother is not connected with sport, but she has been dreaming of figure skating all her life. The girl was named Alina in honor of Alina Kabaeva. The future sportswoman began training at five years old, serious training began at the age of seven. The sportswoman began to train in the Izhevsk Youth Sports School (which she attended until 2015). The first coach of the future figure skater was Natalia Alekseevna Antipina. Up to 10 years, Alina could not win a single award. But then she met Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze. Zagitova met the well-known coach during the competitions in Moscow.

65

Participation in February 2016 in the championship of Russia, where Zagitova surprised the jury with a complex program, which included jumping and cascading. Alina's debut brought her 9th place. Perhaps her surprising plasticity is a result of her low height (152 cm).

Participation in the junior Grand Prix in France. In Saint-Gervais the figure skater managed to win her opponents by 16 points in two programs, gaining 194.37 points. She demonstrated confident skating and jump elements.

Participation in the Russian Championship in December 2016 in Chelyabinsk, brought the figure skater a silver medal. Zagitova became a real opening of the season. She managed to perfectly perform a complex program, and the most complex elements the athlete showed at the second part of her performance. Experienced athletes said that the second place was a serious result for the girl. In 2016, the sportswoman won the status of the Master of Sports of Russia in figure skating.

At the European Championships in 2018 in Moscow Zagitova made a real furor. In a short program, Alina won Evgenia Medvedeva, becoming the champion of Europe. On the 24th of March 2019 it became known that Alina Zagitova for the first time became the world champion at the competition held in Saitama, Japan. After this Alina became the first female figure skater who won all major titulus in female ice-skating – Olympic Games, Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, World Figure Skating Championships and European Figure Skating Championships.

Vladislav Tretiak

Vladislav Tretiak (born April 25, 1952, Dmitrovo, Russia, U.S.S.R.) is a Soviet ice hockey player who was considered one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of the sport. As a member of the Central Red Army team and Soviet national squad, he won 10 world championships (1970-71, 1973-75, 1978-79, and 1981-83) and 3 Olympic gold medals (1972, 1976, and 1984).

Tretiak competed in his first hockey game at age 11 and quickly drew the attention of Soviet hockey officials. At age 15 he was allowed to practice with the

Central Red Army club and two years later was added to the team’s roster. From

1969 to 1984 Tretiak was the starting goaltender, compiling a remarkable 1.78 goals-against average in international competition. He led the team to nine European titles (1970, 1973-75, 1978-79, and 1981-83) and six consecutive national championships (1970-76). Tretiak was named Soviet player of the year five times and received three Gold Stick awards as the top European player. In 1984, at the Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (now in Bosnia and Herzegovina), the Soviets went undefeated to reclaim the gold medal.

Tretiak was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the National Hockey League’s (NHL’s) 1983 entry draft. The Soviet Ice Hockey Federation, however, refused to grant his release, and Tretiak never played in the NHL. He retired from

66

competition in 1984, though he remained involved in the sport, writing books on goaltending and holding instructional camps. In 1990 he became a part-time goaltender coach and consultant for the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks. In 2006 Tretiak was elected president of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation. He was the first Soviet athlete inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame (1989).
