European Sports Week!
– Today I’m Your Teacher of Sport!
The first activity of the WoW Europe project in Latvia took place on a very beautiful winter day. Because schools are still closed to students in grades 5-12, and young students in grades 1-4 are still on a vacation that has already begun before Christmas, the project team decided to work outdoors, which is allowed for vocational education students under their sports teachers or coaches.
The activity covered the 5th grade students of both the Limbazi – Limbazi State Gymnasium and Limbazi secondary schools, as well as three students from the senior classes (8th grade) who are assisting their coach and “ the star ”of our activity an athlete, a sprint canoer, an Olympian #KristapsZalupe who, in 2008, ranked 7th at the Beijing Olympics, covering the K-2 1000m sprint in the sprint with his partner Krists Straume. Kristaps Zalupe lives in #Limbazi and the small town can boast its own Olympian who remained in his hometown after his active career in sports. Now, Kristaps is a basketball coach, leading his teams among the best youth teams in Latvian basketball. Kristaps also teaches sports in kindergarten and thus knows the best approaches for young children, school children, teenagers and young people.
The activity took place in the city’s ice rink, which this year is open only to children and young people with vocational education implemented by the local municipal sports school. Olympian Kristaps Zalupe told about his first steps in sports when he himself was five years old. Kristaps mentioned his point of view on physical activity every day and shared his own activities now at the age of 44. Kristaps is mountain biking and ranks in the top of the best cyclists in the base class. Now, in winter, Kristaps does cross-country skiing at least 3 times a week, and the rest of the day he either does gymnastics or rides a bike.
Kristaps leads the activity together with the sports teacher of Limbazi State Gymnasium and also an athletics coach – Agris Kirsis.
