On the occasion of the inauguration of the Olympic Stadium of Rome, before the 1990 World Cup, Pope John Paul II said to football players: "Sportsmen all over the world are looking at you. Be conscious of your responsibility, not only to be the champion in the stadium, but also the man who, with his whole person, must become a model for millions of young people who have need of leaders, not of idols. They have need of men who are able to communicate to them a taste for the arduous, a sense of discipline, the value of honesty and the joy of altruism.

Longest Limbo Skating-World Record Set

A six-year-old Indian boy, Aniket Ramesh Chindak, has set a new world record for the longest limbo-skating by squeezing himself under a row of 57 four-wheel drive cars in 45 seconds. Aniket decided to take up limbo skating two years ago after seeing it on television. 

He had been roller skating since he was 18 months old, and wanted a new challenge. "It took three months before I could get my body in the right position," he said. "Since then I have skated under lots of cars and have never hurt myself."

Aniket said: "The hardest thing is to go fast enough before I bend down. That's how you can skate under so many cars at once."

A celebrity in his home-town Belgaum in Southern Karnataka state, Aniket has an extraordinary ability to perform what is known as 'limbo-skating '

In Sports as in Life
Francis Duggan

The town decorated in the colours of the local football club for the weekend’s big game
Suppose in sports as in life it is all about winning and fame
The local footballers are playing for renown
For the fans and love of self glory and love of the Hometown
And for love of the club colours they proudly do wear
The very thought of losing even seems hard to bear
To the uninterested 'tis just another game of football
But in sports as in life the winners seem to take all
Of the admiration and fame and of singing their praises their fans never tire
And even gallant losers so few seem to admire
To be graceful in defeat to little does amount
In sports as in life only winners seem to count
At the weekend they play for the trophy and their self glory and sporting renown And for their sporting success hungry fans and for love of their hometown.
