- - - - The origin of cricket is in England, but it is not known when. There is a theory that the history of cricket began. When it was invented by community children between Kent and Sussex in the Middle Ages.
        
        The main objective in cricket games is to play races, very similar to baseball. Sometimes dominated by rounds or innings, which usually go from one to two. Who have breaks on demand or breaks while observing the rules of some leagues in order to create a technical guide.
        
        On the other hand, the development of cricket games mainly takes place. On the field of dimensions similar to those of a baseball field. With the aim that the elusive ball has a large field of action and allows the game to be played with greater freedom.
- - - - In the late 1970s and early 1980s, 'beach bike' frames were the basis for the newly developed mountain bike.1
        
        In the mid-1970s, a group of enthusiasts in Marin County, California, began racing their bikes for the downhill Mount Tamalpais firebreaks. A race they called a "repack," because the trip was so exhausting that riders had to repack their coaster brakes with grease after each race.
        
        The downhill terrain was rocky and the steep mountain helped the runners reach high speeds, where they leaped and crashed into rocks and mud. These mistreatments caused breakages in racing bikes, so riders looked for a more durable and economical alternative.
        
        They soon discovered the old clunkers (which they called Klunker), with 26 x 2,125 balloon tires that you could get for $ 5 at a garage sale and could take tremendous punishment. Riders were breaking up these relics, shedding the heavy fenders and trim, as well as adapting motorcycle brakes and other performance-enhancing gadgets.
        
        Each of the specialties has given rise to different types of bicycle. Thus, in rallying bicycles are usually used without rear suspension, with short-travel front suspension and very light (in many cases under 10 kg). At the other extreme, downhill bikes use heavily reinforced and heavy frames, long travel front and rear suspension systems, thick and heavy wheels, etc. Which gives rise to bikes that are around 20 kg.
        
        It is also important to note that mountain biking has boomed. You no longer only think about the competition: now there are a large number of mtb clubs in most cities in which routes are prepared with more people and you can share experiences and, in that way, make new friends around this sport .
- - - - The origin of Taekwondo is in Korea, in the middle of the last century. It was officially registered in 1955 and its creator was General Choi Hong Hi.
        
        Choi Hong Hi practiced Taekkyon, another Korean martial art that still exists, since childhood. At the age of 20 he was sent to Japan where he also trained in Karate-Do. During World War II, after being forced to serve in the Japanese army, he was arrested for conspiracy and was imprisoned in Pyongyang for 8 months.
        
        At that time, he began to bring together the best of the two martial arts that he knew, Taekkyon and Karate-Do, to end up shaping his own fighting style. He called it Oh Do Kwan ("My own style" in Korean).
        
        The first World Championship was held in Seoul in 1973. Since then, it has been held biennially, with increasing popularity. In the Olympic Games, Taekwondo was present for the first time in 1988, taking advantage of the celebration in the cradle of this sport. However, at that time, it only entered as an exhibition and was not an official Olympic Sport until Sydney 2000.
- - - - Unfortunately, the International Hockey Federation failed, in recent decades, to adapt the rules to the increasing capabilities of the players and their coaches, thus diminishing the spectacle, the beauty and the excitement.
        
        Today, hockey is played on an artificial grass surface. After football, hockey ranks second in terms of team sports practiced outdoors in the world. Today, hockey is practiced in more than 110 countries on five continents.
