Sports are one of my favorites hobbies. Since i was a kid basketball has
been my favorite sport, but i also love football (soccer) and a bunch of
other sports. Here goes a little sample of my favorite sports and
sportsmen:
Basketball
My favorite sport. Right from when i started playing as a kid in the
countryside house where we enjoyed our summer holidays, later on playing
in the EIE Les Corts team, and finally coaching in the Joventut Les
Corts club. Nowadays i only play from time to time, but my interest is
strong as ever.
Team: Joventut de Badalona.
All-time player: Drazen Petrovic.
Present player: Pau Gasol.
Coach: Manel Comas.
Computer game: NBA Live, but it's been ages since i last played.
Football (soccer)
This is a sport i enjoyed watching as a kid, but i never really started
playing until too late. I currently play a couple times a week, in
Football 7 and Indoor Football teams, and i have a lot of fun. On the
elite football side, i have season tickets for Espanyol and also go to
watch Barça most games.
Team: R.C.D.Espanyol de Barcelona.
European teams: Inter Milan, Manchester, Bayern.
All-time player: Eric Cantona.
Present player: Raul.
Coach: Camacho.
Computer game: Championship Manager, but it's been ages since i last
played. For the Playstation2, i'd choose Pro Evolution Soccer, but it's
been one day since i last played :)
Handball
I played handball until i was 14, and it was a lot of fun. It's a very
physical, passionate and entertaining sport, although sadly it does
not have a lot of following.
Team: Cantabria.
All-time player: Bogdan Wenta.
Present player: Talant Dushebaiev.
Coach : Valero Ribera.

I never practised it seriously, but i've always enjoyed following
professional cycling, specially in the fantastic Indurain era.
All-time rider: Indurain.
Present rider: Beloki.
Climber: Pantani.
Sprinter: Abdoujaparov.
Motocycling
This is a sport i've never actually pracised, but i've followed it quite
a bit specially in the time where the local riders were fighting for
championships with Sito, Crivillé, Aspar, Cardús...

250 Rider: Crivillé.
