speed sport in the United States, differing from the game in England where it involved short
passes to move the ball toward the opposition's goal. Whitney and his teammates used the
fast break, sending long passes downfield to riders who had broken away from the pack at a
full gallop.
In modern day times the sport of polo is now being played on the professional level in
the United States . The United States Women's Polo Federation " USW PF" was founded in
2000 at the turn of the century by society horsewoman Kimberly Carr-Cavallo to establish,
organize, coordinate and promote sport of professional women's polo. The sixteen (16) team
polo league is the first ever in U.S. or international polo history to play at the major league
level in the professional sports market.

• The oldest Polo Club in the world s till in e xis tence is the Calcutta Polo Club (1862).
• The 10th Hussars at Aldershot, Hants, introduced the game to England from India in
1869.
Text 3. Bodybuilding
Bodybuil ding is the sport of developing muscle fibers through the combination of
weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest. Professional bodybuilders display their
physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points.
Although initially a male-only pursuit, in the 1980s women started to compete in
separate competitions, but as of 2004, women's bodybuilding has greatly waned in
popularity.
The sport is not to be confused with strongman competition, or powerlifting, where
emphasis is on actual physical strength or with Olympic weightlifting where emphasis is
equally split between strength and technique. Although superficially similar to the casual
observer, the fields entail a different regimen of training, diet and basic motivation.
Rather than focusing on the maximum strength development, bodybuilders aspire to the
development and maintenance of an aesthetically pleasant (by bodybuilding standards) and
balanced physique. In bodybuilding, size and shape are far more important than how much
one can lift.
