Olympics

When the Olympics come the main sport I love to watch is swimming! I love the energy and competition that they put into winning the gold medal! I mean, I can almost feel how hard they work! When I see them I feel like swimming as hard as they do, I mean like racing at the speed of light, just soaring through the water!
I also like gymnastics and high diving, but with all the competition I see in swimming, I just have to see it!
With all the competition I can almost feel the energy coming out of them when they hit the water!
When I see them soaring through the water they remind me of fish trying to flee from their prey!
I hope when the Olympics come you'll want to watch the swimmers, and see all the energy! I know when I'm old enough I'll be in the Olympics! But for now I'll just enjoy watching!

THE OLYMPICS

I am going to tell you about my favorite Olympic sport to watch on TV and why.
My favorite Olympic sport to watch is gymnastics. It's because I like the way they dance on the mat, listen to the music, and still their flips are clean and peaceful.
I also like it when the gymnasts do the uneven bars! They do flips on the bars it almost looks like they are going to fall.
It takes a lot of practice for those gymnasts to get that good. Practice makes perfect! You also get to know the gymnast by watching.
I would like to try gymnastics but, it seems like it would be really hard for me! But I really like watching!!

When someone mentions the summer Olympics one thought rushes into my head...Swimming! I love the sport. It's not only great to watch but fun do as well.
I love to see the swimmers before a race, so concentrated, so tense. I can just imagine waiting on the block for the buzzer to sound, and then it sounds you can see the instant act of action.
You sit there on the edge of your seat screaming at the t.v. will they win? will they lose?

I like the Olympics because they have bobsleding. Bobsledding is so cool because they go so fast on ice.
I know that I can't do this sport because I am not as fast. The the reason I like bobsledding so much is because they go so fast.
Practicly the only reason I don't like this sport is that it's so easy to flip. My favorite thing about this sport is that you go up to 70mph. I think this would take a long time to learn how to play this sport.
I think this is the best sport because there is no other sport like it.

When I go to my room to watch the Olympics, one event I will see is track and field. I like it when they run the mile or throw the disk. And when they throw the javelin.
I like wrestling better then track and field. But track and field is the Olympics sport. I like track and field. Plus it tacks a lot of effort and practice to do that.
I also like track and field. It takes a lot of bravery to go out in the hot sun. You can get heat stroke and other things. They are the only ones in the Olympics that have to work in the hot sun.
The last reason I like track and field. They come out like Michael Jordan only for the medal. And most important the fans.
I like the sport track and field. I'm kinda bummed out that the Olympics come every 4 years. I wished it came on every year.

OLYMPICS

When I watch the Summer Olympics I never miss the Gymnastics. I like gymnastics because in a way it's dangerous but fun. When you watch the gymnasts you can see how much they worked to get to this level. I think the gymnasts are graceful, even beautiful .
I also like to watch gymnastics because you see the person the whole time that there doing their stunt.
They, the gymnasts are so graceful in a certain way. There like a snake wrapping this way, and that, as they are wrapping around a tree.
What's your favorite Olympic sport? I bet it's Gymnastics. No, well you can't get every thing right all the time.

My favorite Olympic is soccer. I like it because two teams kick a ball into a goal. It is cool when the teams run around each other to make a goal.
I like it because you can see the strength and abilities. I think it is a good sport.

I think it is a good sport and good exercise. I play soccer because it is fun and good exercise.
