NEW SPORT

As people have more time and money to spend on recreation, new sports are developed. Traditional sports such as racing on foot, horses, and skis, and in boats, cars and airplanes are still popular. Twenty-five years ago, no one had ever heard of windsurfing. Now it is the rage at beach resorts everywhere. Thirty years ago, who would have thought that intelligent men and women would jump out of airplane for fun, as they do in the sport of skydiving? Twenty years ago, not many people believed that humans would be able to glide through the air like birds, as they do in the popular sport of hang gliding.
