The Olympic Games

The Olympic Games are the biggest and most famous sports event in the world. There are three kinds of Olympics – the Summer Olympics, the Paralympics and the Winter Olympics. A different city has the Summer Olympics every four years. The Games take place during two weeks in July or August. Then the same city has the Paralympics. It’s an event for athletes who have got special bodies. American swimmer Jessica Long, for example, hasn’t got legs, but she has got lots of medals. The Winter Olympics are in February or March two years after the summer events, in a different city. There are 28 Summer Olympic sports. Some of the oldest Olympic sports are boxing and running. Tennis and the martial art taekwondo are two of the newest ones. Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is one of the most famous 21st century Olympians. He has longer legs than the other runners. He’s also very tall – 1.95 m – and his legs are well-built. Bolt is the fastest athlete in the world. He can run the 100 m in 9.58 seconds and the 200 m in 19.19 seconds. He has Olympic gold medals for both events. There are 7 sports in the Winter Olympics. Ice hockey is one of the most popular of all. It’s also one of the hardest, because it’s very fast. Canadians, Czechs, Finns, Russians, Slovakians, Swedes and Americans are the best ice hockey players of all. The sport is a favourite hobby in their countries. Cold countries have got the best winter sport athletes. But Spain has got just two medals in 60 or 70 years of the Winter Olympics!
