Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
Prompt: If you were an Olympic Athlete, which event would you be in? ---------- None, because I could or would never be an athlete to begin with. In fact, I get tired when I walk from one end of my house to the other, more than ten times. Then, I don't like the idea of any kind of a competition at all, where someone loses. Also at this stage in my life, I'm not too much into Olympics, especially this year, because it is made to become a political side-taking instead of a friendly competition. Since the prompt question of today has to do with the Olympics, here are a few facts about them. The first Olympic games were hosted in Olympia, Greece, in 776 BC. The first modern Olympic games tool place in 1896, which included 9 sports. These are the colors of the Olympic rings: Blue, yellow, black, green and red. They represent the five inhabited parts of the world. So far, 23 countries hosted the Olympics. This year is Paris's third time. The IOC (International Olympic Committee) organizes the the Olympic games. IOC's headquarters is located in Lausanne. I guess this should do it for me, today. |
