London Olympics

We have just watched a video about the London Olympics. It looks like it is going to be huge. Some of the venues where the Olympics are going to be held look sparkling and new. This year is going to be the 30th Olympics. The first ever Olympics were held in Ancient Greece. According to legend, the Olympics were made to praise the Greek god Zeus. The games were very lethal in those days.

Sprints are my favourite sport in the Olympics. I am going to have my eye on three people: Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake.  I think that Usain Bolt is going to win his races back to back but Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake are going to be close behind him. I am yet to see Usain Bolt’s full speed. Hopefully he smashes his record.

Most of the track and field races will be held in the famous Wembley Stadium. The teams will march through Wembley Stadium holding their countries flag. London has lots of famous places like the river Thames, Big Ben, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace. There are lots of historic and new places in London.


My favourite athlete has got to be Usain Bolt because he is the fastest man in the world. He’s definitely going to win his races. I think he is going to smash his record by a tenth of a second if he goes his fullest speed. The chances of New Zealand getting golds are very good we will definitely get medals in rowing and cycling.
