The 2014 Winter Olympics
This 2014 winter, the Winter Olympics held every four years is going to take place in Sochi, Russia. This is the first time and Olympic event is held in Russia. The event is going to start in February 7 and it's going to end in the 23rd of the same month. 88 countries are going to compete and there are 98 different events for 15 winter sport disciplines such as ice hockey, ice skating, ski jumping, and more. Many people are excited because this is an event held every four years, but some are worried that Islamist terrorists are going to do something during the event. I like watching the events because I can bet with my friends about which country is going to win. Do you like the Olympics? Are you happy or are you worried about it?

I think the olympics are so much fun. Like you said, it's fun to bet with your friends about which country will win in which sport. I specially love the swimming competitions, but that's because I love swimming. It's so much fun and competitions get exciting. Then, I try to swim faster than the winner, but that is almost impossible. It's still fun though. Olympics are amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI have never watched an olympic game in my life. However, if I get the chance to watch one, I would love to and I am curious of how it is going to be. I want to go and watch one in the winter!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that they are being held in russia instead of another country does not excite me that much. What does catch my attention is that it feels that the olympics were just held last year. More than being excited about the olympics I am incredibly stunned by how fast time has passed. Anyway the Olympics are a huge motivation for several athletes especially golfers, now that it is an olympic sport.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch Olympic! But for me, it is hard to watch. I don't know where to watch it and I don't know when and the time, it is hard for me to watch :( but if I can, I really want to watch it ^^
ReplyDeleteI also love watching the Olympics with my family! Everybody gets nervous and everybody goes for different teams so we yell at each other, we bet for teams, and it is just so fun watching them. :)
ReplyDeleteFinally they are doing it in Russia. Since is winter, the games are going to be even more hard for the players.
ReplyDeleteOlympic events are AWESOME!!! Even though I am not a big fan of winter sports, the Olympics are always the single event that combines so many different practices. It's like the Summer Olympics, but in the extremely cold winter of Russia. On a side note, I think it's also funny that the U.S. Olympic team even devised an evacuation plan to leave Sochi in case anything happened.
ReplyDeleteI went to the 2012 London Olympics and it was a lot of fun. I think that whoever goes to Sochi that is not from around there is going to freeze to death. If there is a terrorist attack in Sochi during the Winter Olympics that could cause a panic world wide. Because they would be technically attacking every country since citizens from around the world are going. I don't think that anything will happen though, hopefully.
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool to hear that the olympics are starting this year, but I just never keep up with any of it. I think it's neat that countries are able to compete in a healthy way and I think it's great in the fact that it promotes pride and honor for your country! Maybe I'll watch them this year? Who knows...
ReplyDeleteI love watching the Olympics so I'm pretty excited. It's fun to watch a bunch of amazing athletes come together and to root for your home country. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember that I was in Korea during the London Olympics, and everyone was really mad because it seemed like a lot of unfair things had happened to Korean athletes. I'm not sure if I agree, but if it was true, then I hope things go a little more smoothly in Russia.
ReplyDeleteMan i love watching the olympics, specially when they do the open ceromony, with Mr.Bean running to that song, where you run slowly in the beach. IT was funny. and their fireworks openings are amazing aswell
