   Hi I'm Natalie and welcome to Talking Sport.


  Today we're hearing about a Russian high jumper and learning the words 'weakness' and 'obstacle'.
  Ivan Ukhov is a high jumper from Russia.
  He is the current European Indoor champion and also won the World Indoor Championship title in 2010.
  BBC reporter, Steve Rosenberg, has been to meet Ivan.
  Listen for the words 'weakness' and 'obstacle'.
  Clip 1
  Ivan Ukhov believes he's got what it takes to win the men's high jump at the London Games. But Ivan does have a weakness and it's all to do with his shoes. In the battle for a gold medal perhaps Ivan Ukhov's biggest problem is his footwear. Unlike other high jumpers Ivan doesn't like to wear shoes with spikes 2 in the heel - in rainy conditions that could be a big obstacle and as everybody knows the sun doesn't always shine in London.

  Listen again for the words 'weakness' and 'obstacle'.

  Presenter
  Steve Rosenberg said Ivan has a weakness.
  In this context 4 weakness means a disadvantage or a fault.
  "Ivan does have a weakness and it's all to do with his shoes."
  We also heard the word 'obstacle'.
  An obstacle is something that can stop progress.
  "Ivan doesn't like to wear shoes with spikes in the heel … that could be a big obstacle."
  Well we have learnt the word 'weakness' and 'obstacle'. Now let's hear from people in London. Listen to them using the word 'weakness'.

  My weakness is talking too much.
