Parkour saved a life

American Parkour athlete Ryan Drake was saved by his parkour skills.

On February 10, 2010, Ryan Drake was strolling on the street quietly, and he was ambushed by 4 teenagers about his age. They were using knives, and one of them told him to give them his money, or things would get messy. Then, Drake punched one of them in the face, and his teeth broke and stayed attached to his knuckle. He then proceeded to run,with three armed teenagers running after him. After running for a long time, he jumped over a fence and climbed a wall in less than three seconds, a wall that the teenagers couldn't scale. The teenagers stayed there, waiting for him to come down, but they didn't realize that Drake had a cellphone and that he called the police. They were arrested, and a doctor surgically removed the teeth that had remained incrusted in Drake's knuckle.
How did parkour save his life? When Drake was being pursuited, he had to think quickly, and he luckily is a parkour afficionate. If he hadn't jumed over the fencxe and the wall, he probably would have been seriously injured, or even killed.

Did the cycling save Armstrong´s life?

Lance Armstrong is a man that was born in Austin, Texas in September 18th of 1971. He is a professional ex cyclist that made a record, he had been the only one that had won 7 Tour de France in a row. And the cycling saves him his life.

 Lance Armstrong started his sportive carrier with swimming when he was 12; then, when he saw in newspaper inscriptions for a triathlon, he participated and he won it easily. That´s was when he changed of sport and started to train and practice triathlon up to the point he became a professional triathlete. He started to see that he was very good in the bicycle part of the triathlon and he decided to leave a part the triathlon and started to be a professional of cycling, he signed his first contract of professional cyclist with Motorola after he arrived in the 10th position of the Olympics of Barcelona in 1992. He started to be a very good cyclist and started to won international tournaments, but in 1996 he started to decrease his performance. Unfortunately, in October of 1996, the doctors detected a testicular cancer with lung metastasis. This changed Armstrong’s life.

Armstrong went to India where one testicle was took out and entered in a chemotherapy treatment. He decided to use chemotherapy, because in case he survives, he could try to save his sportive life and carrier even though it was very difficult. But all the doctors, including the one that was making him the treatment, told him that he has 30% of possibilities to survive to the cancer, and if he does, it would be very difficult to continue with his professional carrier. When Lance finished with his treatment he didn’t continued with his performance in sports, but there was a very good thing, he was alive even though the doctors predicted that he had 30% of possibilities to survive. What Lawrence Einhorn, his doctor, said was that Armstrong is a miracle and that his amazing physical condition saves him her life and help him to overcome his illness. It took Armstrong two years after he finished his treatment to gain again his amazing physical condition, because in 1998 he participated in his first competition after the surgery and treatment in Paris. Unfortunately he didn’t win, but he was in the most remarkable positions of the competition. And finally Armstrong recovered completely and in 1999 he won the Tour du France and the seven tours that continued.

In conclusion, it is valid to say that the cycling saves Armstrong’s life, because it gave him a very good physical condition that thanks to that he could overcome the cancer. He also could continue with his carrier, that the doctors thought as lost when they found the cancer.
