Once every four year there are the Olympic Games either summer or winter. Thousands of athletes represent their country and try to bring back home medals. My favorite section of the Olympic Games are the ceremonies especially the opening one and the bringing of the flame to the stadium. After the ceremony the games begin and people start cheering for their countrymen. Whenever the Olympics begin I like to watch the wrestling, weightlifting, track and swimming. The country that I want to win of course is Egypt and if Egypt is not participating I want USA to win. Egypt is very strong in wrestling and weightlifting because it is the number one sport there. That is why they normally get medals in this sport. After these sports, track is the most important especially the 100, 200 and 400 meter relay. It is very exciting to see the world’s fastest men and if they can beat the records. It is clear to see which sports a country is good in when watching the Olympics. My favorite one to watch is the Summer Olympics, because the sports are better and Egypt has never winter, that is why they are never in the Winter Olympics. Sometimes there are athletes who have dual nationalities, like they are born in Africa but raised in Europe and represent for example Germany. Personally I think they should play for their mother country, because they are not real Germans but only on paper, but at the end it is their choice not ours. There is no real Olympic sport that is the most difficult, because every sport has its difficulty.

I love to watch all of the Olympics. It is a holiday for the whole world which unites people. The Olympic games it is a great occasion. I like to watch figure skating.

Olympics games is a chance for the very best of the best to compete in their chosen sport and to find out who really is the best in the world.

History tells us that the Olimpic Games took their beginning in the Ancient Greece.The best athlets from all over the Grieece were racing in different kinds of sports.The winners were awarded by laurel wreath.When the Olimpic Gamestook place ,f there were a war somewhere it would stop until the games were over.We have our moder Olimpic Games,and of couse, it is a pity thatin our days the wars do not stop whn the Games take place.Sportsmen from all over the world compit in diffeent kinds of sports.They are devided n winter and summer sports.I like to watch on TV summer kind of sports.I enjoy track-and-field athletics.It is a known fact in our days that some sportsmen who was born in one country and grew there,very often move to live in other countries, and when times comes to participate n different sport competitions and Olimpic Games,they do it very successfully.I think that this kind of portsmen did not do anything wrong.If they decided to act like that,that means that there was a reason for them to do like that.We live in democratic sociey and democratic world,and everybody can decide what he or she wants.The important thing is to find the way and the place where you can show what you are best at.

I do not have a particular sport I watch during the Olympics. I usually just watch any sport in which my native country is participating. Most of the time my country is doing pretty well during both summer and winter Olympics. Personally, I think Olympics are not that important as people think. If it was up to me to decide, I would rather spend the money countries spend on the games to solve the problem of poverty in the countries of the third world. Olympics is an event for athletes and I think that only professional athletes should be allowed there. I think the hardest sport at Olympics is Sports Climbing. I think so because athletes who compete in that sport must be very strong to brave to climb the rocks and actually win.

I like to watch soccer, judo, taekwondo, shooting, table tennis in Olympic sports on TV. My country does better at the summer Olympic because the weather in my country is suitable for athletes to train and play these games which compete in the summer Olympic. In addition, my country never has snow in the winter, which is impossible for athletes to do successfully. I think that the Olympics are important because I believe the Olympics are important, they have rules and standards and it brings the unity of all countries together to perform at their best. When the Olympics was first created only men had participated but now both men and woman participate in the Olympics.

Sport is the most important thing in our life. Sport helps us to keep our health better and live life with more interesting. If I have time to watch Olympic Sport I prefer gymnastic. For me it's the most interesting type of Olympic sports , but I like a few more, it's biathlon, skiing, and soccer. My country,Ukraine, has many athletes who's attended every Olympics and they always bring medals when they're coming back home. My country do better at the Summer Olympics, maybe it because they specialize more on the summer sports than on the winter sports. I think Olympics is important for all of us.Those athletes who's attend Olympics, they has some goal in their life and it's also their job.When we watch Olympic sports we're always have a lot of fun together with friends and family.We caring about those athletes that we like,because we want them to win, and if they win we feel so excited about it.Olympic always important and people always like to watch it because it's their life.

Personally, I love the Olympics. I let myself get caught up in the drama and the action, even though I'm definitely not a sports fan any other time of the year. The most popular sport during the winter Olympics by far is figure skating, specifically women's or pairs skating. Here, I'm listing the other sports that I will definitely be watching:

The Olympic Games are an international sports competition which is held every four years in a different city. Many people from all over the world have the opportunity to watch the Summer Olympics live because they have access to television channels who broadcast the event. I like to watch at the summer and the winter Olympic sports on TV.

Once every four years, thousands of people from the entire world sit by the TV and watch the Olympic Games. It is a very interesting show watching many different talented people from various nations having a competition between each other. My favorite is figure skating. I like to watch professional people dancing on the ice and make a lot of different movements. Also, I always worry about my countries ability to win and I am very proud and happy when they win. The Olympic Games are very important for each Olympian to win for their country. It is a good opportunity for each country to present themselves to the world in the Olympic Games. Watchers and members of the Olympic Games can learn a lot about the customs and history of the winning countries. The Olympic Game host country usually spends a lot of money for preparation of the Olympic Games to impress the world. But, it is pleasant spending because this country will go down in history for a long time and attract many visitors in the near future.

My favorite Olympic sport is football and I like to spend time especially with my family to watch game. This sport is the popular one in my country. In my opinion it’s fair that an athlete plays in the way that he want there is several reason that usually cause athlete move to other country and join their team that I think it’s acceptable.

First of all, I love the Olympics. Olympics were founded in ancient Greece. Actually in the Greek city of Olympia in Elis Kingdom. They are held every four years and bringing together athletes from around the world. During the Olympics, the wars ended. The man who revived the modern Olympics was the Frenchman, Pierre Fredy Baron the Coubertin, in 1896. I like all Olympic sports. Of course, my favorite is gymnastics. Romania is one of the most powerful countries on women's gymnastics. Everyone has heard about Nadia Comaneci. She is the first gymnast who took Grade 10 at the Olympics. Actually was the first 10 on gym, at the Summer Olympics in Montreal in 1986. I think it's normal for professional athletes to participate in the Olympics. Nobody should be excluded. In my opinion, it is actually happening, athletes born in other countries can compete against them country of born. If they have never participated for their home countries. Why does it matter which country you were born? Importance is the country that has helped you to grow. A country is like a mother. If a mother born you and then abandoned you, and if another woman adopted you and took care of you. Which of them you have to love? So? I will conclude with the Olympic’ slogan of Pierre De Coubertin:” If you win, continue! If you lose, continue!” So friends, try to be the best at what you do. If you do not succeed at first, keep trying!

Olympic Games are a very important event in the entire world, almost every country is participating and millions of people enjoy watching the athletes fighting to show the best results. The competition stated in ancient Greece, where regular people could demonstrate their strength and power. But a lot have changed since, a lot of sports and events have been added to it and now mostly professional athletes participate. Now we can also enjoy winter or summer Olympics once every four years. My country, Moldova, has very few athletes in the competition, mostly in weightlifting and wrestling. They brought home silver and bronze medals.

I like to see the Olympic games, and I prefer the winter ones, since they involve more risky games. Last time the winter Olympic took place in Vancouver. I like the openings they do in every Olympics, it is very exciting with a very big ceremony. Then all the countries come in with their players, with the flag up. Albania,my country did participate also last year and since usually the countries come in alphabetical order, my country is one of the first one, and it had 6 participants. Also that year there was a tragedy and one important Olympic participants died and they had also one memoir for him at the opening ceremony.Then all the games and competition starts and the excitements continues. Many games are risky and dangerous but the players love to compete for the country they represent of course. I don't think if fair for someone who was born in a country to compete against his own country for a different country. That will be very hard for them to not be bias at all.

Once every four years there are the Olympic Games, summer and winter. It is very interesting. I like watching ceremonies especially the opening one stadium. My favorite Olympic Games are soccer and taekwondo these are very exciting. My country dose very well in both of these sports. So I would say they do better in the summer games. The Olympic Games are very important for all countries. It is a time of friendly competition. It is a time when politics and war are usually placed on hold. For my country it is one of the few times the communist north and republic South Korea are able to meet in one place with out going to war. It is a good opportunity for each their country. I learn a lot of customs and cultures. I like to watch Olympic Games very much. I believe professional athletes should be able to participate in the games. Both professional and Olympic athletes train very hard. I also think it is fair for a person living in the United States to participate in the games and represent their own country. The Olympic Games give each country a sense of pride. Just because a person lives in the US doesn’t make them an American. I think the hardest sport is gymnastics. The athletes start so young and work so hard and make huge sacrifices.

There are almost 200 countries in the world. Russia and Canada are biggest countries. China and India are the countries with the most people. They have every four years bringing together athletes from all the world and all sports together for example Ping-Pong , Basketball, Boxing ring, Gymnastics,……..I like all Olympic sports. My favorite section of the Olympic sports are the ceremonies especially the opening and ending of the sports. My favorite’s sports are sports with water like as water-polo and swimming. Of course I watch all sports with water especially all swimming .I like the diving board and swimming and I like I know who is won a medal and who is faster. In my country the people almost like the football I remember one year’s my country own the medal and all people going in the street and horning and singing and all was happy for that or one year’s Olympic was in my country we saw all athletes from all world they have camping. I think it’s fair that an athlete who was born and lived in one country competes in another country against him country. I think the most difficult all sports of word together its good. I hope all word together have everything and together friends.

I like to watch Winter Olympic Games such as figure skating. Figure skaters compete in many various levels from beginners up to the Olympic levels. I like figure skating for artistic skating. I always watch singles and pairs figure skating championships and their all programs such as “short program”, “free skate” and “long program”. In the short program skater must complete a list of required elements consisting of jumps, spins and steps. It is amazing to watch “free dance” program because skater can show their personality too. My favorite figure skaters are Evgeny Plushenko, Irina Slutskaya, Katarina Witt, and Maria Butyrskaya. They have won many Gold Medals for their countries. My coyntry is better at summer Olympic games. We have many weightlifting, tennis, athletic, boxing Olympic champions. I want to remark Yurik Vardanian who won the Gold medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics, becoming the world’s first weightlifter to achieve a 400 kilogram total in the 82. 5 kg. weight category. During his career he set multiple World Records. Many Armenians who live abroad represent other countries. For example Andre Agassi (USA), Vardan Zakarian (Germany). I think that Olympic Games important for us. Everybody wants to watch athletes all over the world come together to compete. It shows great skill and training. And it allows all countries and people to show their achievement and success. Olympic games allows countries to put down their differences with wars and politics to come together in this world event. The most important thing about the Olympic games is that we can have as many people as possible to join.

Olympics sport I watch on TV only one time and that was summer Olympics but what city I don’t remember. At that time I watched athletics and marathon runners. The athletics was jumping, spinning and flying up in an air. That was interesting for a moment but later on I get boring because the different athletics repeat same exercise couple times and then jury gave same points to athletics, who get more points that one win. For the runners a little different situation they need save energy to the end. In the Olympic sport wins only athletics that had strong genetic psychological factors and a lot of training needs for good result. Having sport in any country it’s very important because that showing how strong genetic that country. But sometimes athletics play for different country and I think that happens because of money. Of cause that chose by him because he thinks he deserves better life.

Some people believe that playing sports is important for adults. In my opinion the importance of playing sports depends on the types of games. Some sports may benefit our health, mental abilities, and help us to relax. Others may harm the person playing. The Olympic symbol (five interlocked rings) represents the five original major continents (Africa, Asia, Australia, America, and Europe) and the meeting of the athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic games. The five colors of the are blue, black, red, yellow, and green. The Olympic is held every four years. We have sixty kinds of sports such as football, baseball,basketball, hockey, soccer, skiing, and boxing, etc... Boxing is the hardest sport. In my opinion, individual sport is harder than group sports. Individual sports show the ability of one person and group sports hide the mistakes of individuals on the team. My favorite Olympic sport is soccer. I like it. It is the most popular sport in my country. In my country,people care more about soccer. When the Olympic starts all the people watch it, especially soccer. Most of the people watch soccer with their friends and family. They have more fun. When soccer starts, all the streets are empty. One time, my country qualifies to play in the

The Olympic Games are a major international event featuring summer and winter sports,in which thousands of athletes participate in a variety of competitions. The Games are currently held every two years, with Summer and Winter Olympic Games alternating, although they occur every four years within their respective seasonal games. Since 2008, host cities are contracted to manage both the Olympic and the Paralytic Games, where athletes who have a physical disability compete. I think that my country prefer for Winter Olympics because the weather is really nice and a lot of athletes like Winter games. The most popular sports during the Winter Olympics are figure skating,skiing hockey,biathlon. I think that Olympics is very important for many people in the world. People who participate Olympics show their culture skills, they bring medals for their country. And they try to keep piece with each other. The most important goal of sport is to keep our health better. I like to watch on TV all kind of Olympics Games especially the opening of ceremonies.

I don’t prefer Olympic Games so much. I may watch something but I don’t follow the right program. My country is very poor so I don’t remember somebody to participate to Olympic Games. I like more winter Olympics because my family and I like to watch ice skating sport. I think that athletes born in a different country should compete for other countries because Olympic Games are one time in four years and this is their chance so I don’t think is so important for them the country they are competing for. I don’t know what is the most difficult sport.

It feels like it was many years ago that I actually got to watch much of the Winter Olympics. In 2006, when it took place over in Italy, it was hard due to the time difference to watch as much as I would have liked. This time, I will be in New Zealand and Australia, so I doubt I will be able to follow it as much as I would like. However, I try to follow all different kinds of skiing: alpine, cross-country, and biathlon. Biathlon is a very exciting sport to follow on TV. I believe the Olympics are important, they have rules and standards and it brings the unity of all countries together to perform at their best. When the Olympics was first created only men had participated but now both men and woman participate in the Olympics. I cry when i watch the Olympics sometimes. You see the greatest things you will ever see in your life be completed by a fellow human, and you see how amazing the human race really is. When i watch the Olympics i feel like in that stadium is the only time where the world is at peace. I'd say the most difficult sport is waterpolo. You need to swim an average of 2 miles during the course of a game. You need to know what you're doing and examine all option before you make a move.

The Olympic Games are one of the most spectacular reminders of the debt we owe to the Greeks. The original Olympic Games were held every four years. The important sports in the original Olympic Games were running, jumping, wrestling, throwing the discus and throwing the javelin. The modern Olympic era began in 1894 when Frenchman Baron Pierre decided to revive the ancient Greek tradition of celebrating health. The Olympies bring together thousands of the finest athletes to compete against one another in a variety of individual and team sports. I like to watch winter and summer Olympic games, but my favorite is winter Olympic Ise Figure Skaiting. Ise dancing is on Olympic figure skaiting event, which couples are required to perform dance routines to music. Numbers of people are dencing on ise is just like the dencing on air. The sport gained popularity in the 1930s and the first world championships were held in 1950s.The first Olympic ice dencing competition was in 1976.Savchenco Alona Valentinovna is famous Ukrainian and German figure skater.In 2006 Savchenco with Robin Sholkovi performed on Winter Olympic Games and took sixth place.For me Olympic Games are very interesting entertainment on TV.I am proud such people who have achieved success in their life.Also Olympies athletes brought success for their country.We must support and be proud of people like them.
