उत्तर

Accidents happen in the field. Once a pole vault champion was in the mid-air. The pole he was ‘ using to jump suddenly snapped. More than 3.5 million children in the age group .of 5-14 years get hurt annually playing sports or participating in some recreating activity. In rough games such as football, children even get brain injuries. Such accidents happen because athletes who involve in brave acts throw caution to winds and do dare-devil adventures like skiing in deadly valleys and mountain tops.

Fencing causes sword injury. In Tamil Nadu, a boy lost his eyesight, due to an accident in fencing. Boxing is the worst game that evinces damages to the chin, skull, jaws, etc. Muhammad Ali the legendary boxer, made holes in the skull of an opponent boxer with his technical hits. Jallikattu sports cause fatal injuries. I have seen young men gored to death by charging bulls. Ankle gets sprained when a long jumper lands on the sand in an awkward manner. Chronic injuries are caused when sportsmen over-stretch their muscles. Some athletes in my class went for a 400 m dash without any practice. Just before the finish line, they had cramps and fell down with great pain. If one decides to become a sports person he must do regular practice to avoid or overcome sports injuries.
