Lucia's hobby: Athletics

I love all kind of sports but my favourite one is athletics. It was the first specialty of Olympics and it has been an important part of its history. It has a great variety of events divided into three categories; running, jumping and throwing.

At first sight, I know athletics may seems boring but when you try it, you can't stop. The category I practise six times a week with my team is running. There are three distance categories: sprints, middle-distance and long-distance. Inside them you can find a great variety of races: mountain, field, road.... Moreover, you can discover some strage long-distance races that you have never heard about such as the 100 kilometers or the 24-hour races. 

In my opinion, athletics is the best sport. Actually, it's more than a sport, it teaches you some values like the spirit of sacrifice, comradeship and perseverance. Furthermore, it keeps you healthy and it's a good way to meet new people. For me, it's a way of life.

Pedro's Hobby: Magic

Being a magician isn't easy. You need to be very disciplinated, because the base for a succesful trick is to try it until you get it and once you have achieved it you need to repeat it again and again and again.

My passion for magic began when I was a child. I used to do a very simple trick with a coin and everybody loved it.

One day, during a travel to Madrid, I discovered a magic store of a very famous magician who now sells very cool material for magic spectacles. I loved the atmosphere there and when he saw I was so little, he closed the shop, took me to back room and did an spectacle only for my parents and me. Once he had finished he taught me how to do all of those tricks and since then we became friends.

Later on, after having read many books about it and after hundreds of hours of practising, I went to a Magic competition in Granada. I was the youngest (11 years) and the jury gave me the 3rd prize. There were people at the competition from Granada's Magic Circle and they invited me to join them, so I became the youngest member.

Now, I do not practise it so much because I haven't got too much time, but I keep loving it.
