Kilian Jornet and his life, mountains

Kilian Jornet presented the film whose name is "Let me live" where he explains how is his day to day is on the mountain. This movie has been guided by director the Seb Montaz and the film will be able to bring at all the news-stands from 10 euros.


This year, Kilian Jornet has been elected the adventurer of the year by the magazine National Geographic. Kilian Jornet wants to go up and down the big mountains (Everest, Aconcagua, Montblanc…) doing the least possible time.

Apart of practicing running, he practices the mountain skiing (this sports is a form of skiing that consist in walking up to the top of the mountain and skiing down) during the winter season. 



In my opinion, I think that Kilian Jornet is an idol for many people since he is a modest person and not materialistic. Moreover, his ideas about the nature and the environment are totally accepted because he wants a better world, in other words, he believes that men should stop damaging it and provoke less pollution and we should care about nature, which is our life.





Racism and sport

A few days ago, the football world was responding to a racist attack in a football stadium. Specifically, when the Brazil international and Barcelona player, whose name is Dani Alves, got a banana which someone had thrown it from the public. He wasn't angry or felt bad but he ate the banana. The fan who made the racist gesture will not be able go into the stadium of the club Villarreal again.



The reaction of the other people (anonymous people, famous athletes, the FIFA president…) was to support Dani Alves’s gesture by uploading videos, photos in internet and so on. In our high school, for example, an event was organized which consisted in all of us had to eat a banana in the school yard. This new was published in the newspaper whose name is "El nou 9" and the other media in Osona.



In my view, I believe that humans aren't yet socialized with about topic because many people don’t tolerate the other cultures or ways of doing things.

Finisher Non-stop

Hey, dear bloggers!

On the 27th April the University from Vic organized an obstacle race whose name is Finisher Non-stop. Finisher Non-stop is an athletic race both natural and artificial obstacles are located along a route where the participants have to have the technical qualities and physical ability to overcome the  various obstacles that they can find.

A remarkable fact of this race is the humour that creates among participants. For example, many of them dress up or make up their face. 

Everyone who wants to participate in this race despite a very good in shape is required and necessary.  In case of the participant isn't fit, she or he can always choose the short route, in other words, 8 kilometres of distance. 

Some of the more typical obstacles  of this race are the pond mud, to climb some pillars of straw, to run in a totally dark area or to run over some cars tires.

In the near future, I would like to practise it with my friends because one can spend some very good free time. In addition, it would be a new activity for me since I've never participated in event like this. Apart from that, I also encourage to participate in this course all people who like sports especially running. 


Finally, I have uploaded a video because you can see it and you feel like to participate in this race a lot.  You can also see the faces of the people and the evidences.  I Hope you like it.

Byebye Tata Martino

Hi today I will writing about the coach of Football Club Barcelona, Gerardo Martino, aka Tata Martino. Moreover I'm trying to criticize his training system, his way of playing football and his irregular period in this club.

Firstly, I think that the players of this team are unmotivated and they have lost the illusion. This fact has been caused by the football system which is used by Tata Martino.

On the one hand, these players during this years haven't got a regular period, in others words, they have played some good matches and bad ones. They can lose against good teams and win against the best ones. For example, Barça won against Real Madrid making a great game with many goal occasions. 

Although the Tata period is finishing, if they will get and win the Liga BBVA, the criticism of fans  will can change since people will be able to recognise his sacrifice and work for this club.

About the future of the coach, I believe  that this year will be the last one for Tata Martino because I think that he has another job offer from another part of the world, such as Russia or America. However, he leaves few tracks about his future at the press conference, for example he has said: "I'm not leaving no mystery, I am saying that I will fulfill my contract, period. I am a type of word that will fulfill his contract."

On the other hand, I think a change of coach can be very good for the team because they need to rediscover their stile of play and the way that they play football. 

Another reason that I think helped the things are going like this is because this year the club has internal problems at the institutional level, such as a change of Barça's president.

The eternal genious

Today I will write an article on Tito Vilanova. Last week he died in Barcelona having only 45 years age a because of cancer he never could overcome it. His illness forced Tito to leave as football coach and he focus on the care of his disease. For example, he went to Paris and United States to find a more effective and suitable treatment. However, he lost sadly this big fight against cancer.


When the victim of this disease died, he has left a big mark among fans of the sport, football fans and Barcelona's fans. Immediately in Catlonia and generally around the world, there were many condolences reactions to Tito Vilanova. As the big football clubs or small football clubs showed great empathy. For example, the president of Real Madrid wrote an official statement on their website and the football club Chelsea sent various tweets showing condolences.Others samples of condolences that the world that were made were all the minutes of silence in memory of him.


Another fact was to see the reaction of Tito's friends, especially Pep Guardiola. he said at the press conference "The sadness that I feel it will go with me all my life '. Also Jordi Roura who made a letter and he read it the day of his funeral. 

Barcelona Football Club fit out a space in Camp Nou. There, the people who wanted to say goodbye could leave some bouquets and flowers petal.  Then, if you wanted, you could write a message inside the book which will be delivered to his family.

On 28 April it was celebrated the funeral of Tito Vilanova in the Barcelona Cathedral. The ceremony was open to all and around 1500 people were there. In addition, the mass was recorded and it passed on various television channels, such as TV3 or Barça TV.

Extreme Life

Hi people! Today I'm writing about base jumping. It's a parachuting method and it's considered the most dangerous extreme sport. Nevertheless, the odds of dying while practising this sport are low since the statistics says and shows 1 person in every 35000 people who jump with parachute die.

To practice this sport, you need to have a good parachute and a special equipment, for example, another parachute for replacement. However, it isn't obligatory to have it. Also, you need to have a healthy lifestyle and be in shape and haven't got a disease or illness.


Sometimes these extreme sports have negatives consequences, For example, a couple from Barcelona wanted to celebrate their honeymoon jumping with parachute in National Zion Park, in USA.

The fact was that the man saw his wife fell to the land after jumping while he jumped with her. He tried to catch his wife but he couldn't catch her. Then, he called the emergency services and they had to look for her. The next day, the emergency services found the corpse. 


This unfortunate story makes you think about what life really is because you can think that it's better not to practice any extreme sport in order not to die or you can choose not to make any extreme activity not to suffer any pain or to live overprotected.


In my opinion, I think that humans have done everything that we like before dying because we have the right to have fun and enjoy life. So, in my case I would always do a risk activity as long as I'm feeling safe to do this activity and know the consequences.
