Horoscope authors like Pavel Globa argue that each zodiac sign is a different type of people who prefer strictly defined professions, activities and even sports. So, the sign of Pisces, that is, those born in the period from February 21 to March 20, in their opinion, correspond to athletes who have chosen water sports - swimming, water polo, jumping from a tower or springboard, rowing and others. But in fact, Pisces, like all other signs, can successfully play any sport, including even chess.
All around the water
It is quite logical that the symbol of the zodiacal sign of Pisces is water. After all, absolutely terrestrial fish do not occur in nature. Perhaps that is why the same astrologers, when discussing what kind of sport the bipedal "waterfowl" choose, give preference to those associated with movement on water - regular and synchronized swimming, various types of rowing, sailing, windsurfing, water polo, triathlon. As a last resort, with diving. They smartly advise Pisces women to engage in synchronized swimming, while men are encouraged to pay attention to a variety of swimming disciplines, including underwater ones.
It is noticeable that horoscopes and those who write them are rather biased towards the sports component of people born in late winter and early spring. Say, completely denying them such professional qualities as physical strength, aggressiveness, reaction, will to win. Which cannot but cause surprise and even irony. Especially among specialists, when training athletes, the least taking into account the dates of birth and signs of the zodiac.
Winners of winter
It is widely believed among some Russian fans that those who were born in winter have a direct path, or rather a straight ski track, to winter sports. For example, biathlon, ice skating, cross-country skiing, figure skating or ice hockey. To some extent, they are right, because among domestic Pisces there are enough snow-ice stars. These include the six-time Olympic champion in speed skating Lydia Skoblikova, the Olympic champion and four-time world champion in figure skating Alexei Yagudin, the only two-time Olympic champion in pair skating Oksana Grischuk, the winner of the Olympic Games 2014 bronze medalist in bi-competition Games in the team speed skating race Ekaterina Lobysheva and a whole group of hockey champions.
One of the most popular Russian hockey stick and puck masters of the past is the 1992 Olympic champion and Stanley Cup 1994 Honored Master of Sports Alexei Kovalev, who was born on February 24. And as part of the Russian national team at the last world ice hockey championship in Minsk, five players who were born between March 3 and 17 won gold medals at once - defender Artem Zubarev, forwards Yevgeny Dadonov, Sergei Kalinin, Sergei Shirokov and Vadim Shchipachev.
Summer Champions
Not less among the world famous professional athletes and those who are involved in the so-called summer or similar sports that do not require the preparation of skates and skis. Of course, this list contains, as Pavel Globa noted, those who always choose water from among the many elements. These are, in particular, the Russians - two-time Olympic champion in diving, the only holder of eight Olympic medals of various denominations in history, Dmitry Sautin, as well as the author of the world record in the combined 4x100 meter short course relay, Alexander Sukhorukov.
Among other sports Pisces, who love summer and warmth more, one can single out tennis players - the multiple world champion and ex-first racket of the Czech American Ivan Lendl and the Italian Roberta Vinci, who leads the world doubles rating, basketball players from the North American NBA Shaquille O'Neill and Charles Barkley, Russian bullet shooting champion Lyubov Galkina; vice-champion of the Games and ex-world professional boxing champion Sultan Ibragimov; and former American chess king Robert Fischer.
With the ball at the ready
Horoscopes unfoundedly assert that Pisces, who are involved in playing sports, much more often prefer to be point guards than attackers or, for example, goalkeepers. And they are very wrong. After all, it was under this sign that not only the former goalkeeper of Moscow "Spartak" and the USSR national football team Vladimir Maslachenko was born, but also several famous German goalkeepers of different years - Sepp Mayer, Tony Schumacher and Andreas, who worked at the 2014 World Cup in the coaching staff of the German national team Cap.
By the way, among the players of the German team, which became the world football champion in Brazil, there was also one "waterfowl" - defender Benedict Hevedes. One can only imagine how the recent players of the Russian national team and “relatives” according to the horoscope Vyacheslav Malafeev and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov envied him.
