Stephen Michael James Ovett

Ovett’s event was a middle distance runner. He holds many records in his sports career. He was gold medalist at 1980 Olympic Games for the 800 meters. Also, to this day he has the UK record for 2 miles in 1978. He gave up football because he didn’t want to do a sport where he would have to depend on teammates. At his peak, he was associated with Sebastian Coe from England. After he retired from running, he became a Track & Field television commentator for the CBC. A statue  was erected to him placed in Preston Park, Brighton. He lives now in Australia and he is 57 years old now, will turn 58 in less than a month. His brother, Nicholas Ovett, represented Great Britain in the Winter Olympics in 1988 and 1992. Also, his son Freddy has shown promise as a middle distance runner winning the Pan-Pacific 800 meters title. Finally, my favorite sports personality is the Brazilian Ronaldo.

Travel

Last summer I travelled to France with my friends for ten days vacation. We went to the south, Cannes and Saint - Tropez exactly. We had a lot of fun there hanging out near the beaches and nightclubs. We also arranged a trip in a boat which lasted for almost five hours. There were too many Arabic people there who met and stayed together having lunch or dinner. We had a great time and this was one of my best travels I've been in. I hope we could do it one more time.
