The Olympics - Part 2

The Olympics
I like to watch track. I think the hurdles are the best thing to watch as they gracefully jump over the hurdles. When they trip on the hurdles I can feel the pain. I don't particularly care who wins.
The hurdlers jump as gracefully as a grasshopper, and they soar like a hawk. They have to be graceful to do this sport.
I can feel the pain when they trip on the hurdle. It goes in slow motion. It is like I am falling with them.
I don't particularly care who wins. I just like to watch them race and gracefully jump and run.
I think why I like this sport is because I don't think I could do it, but it is fun to watch.

I like to watch the Olympics on t.v. It's fun to do with my family and friends.
I like watching the Olympics on t.v. especially soccer. I like to watch and play soccer because it is a fun game.
Soccer is fun to play, and everyone can play because it's a boy and girl game.
I like to watch the athletes play, you can tell their nervous when you look at their faces because they look sweaty and scared. Soccer is cool because if you are tired you can watch soccer, and if you are active you can play it.
I like to watch the soccer on the Olympics. It's cool to watch them play and have fun. Soccer is like a game for anyone who wants fun.

Olympic Basketball

I like basketball because it is fun to watch. I like to see them fly like a eagle then dunk the hoop as hard as they can. I don't like when they get mad and mess up.
I like watching basketball because it is exciting. I like how the dribble throw there legs and fake people out and how much fun there having.
I like how they fly throw the air like eagles, then dunk the hoops real hard and come down when Vince Carter jumped over a guy and jamed it.
I don't like it when they get mad when they do they start to miss shots and mess up. I do the same think when I get mad I mess up.
The reason I watch basketball cause it is fun and thrilling to watch and also exciting.

Soccer is my favorite olympic game because it is the funnest game to me because you get to kick and run. I would rather swim because I like it and I'm good at it. But when someone kicks it hard it looks like it is flying but if I played soccer I would be a goalie because I am good at blocking the ball.
I think it would be fun. And I would also like to win a gold medal because I think an olympic medal is the best thing you can win.
So that is why soccer is my olympic sport. I wouldn't play any other olympic sport.

One of my favorite sports or activities is swimming. I like getting wet. I like getting my face wet.
I like watching the Olympic swimmers for a few reasons. One reason is the suspense. The other reason is I like the color and sound of the water when the divers splash the water. There dives are very graceful, relaxing, and peaceful like a deer running through the woods. Their dives are breathtaking
The excitement of the when the divers dive is unbearable. Sometimes I just can't wait for them to dive and do their flips .
I love to see the divers get their awards and trophies. I love to see their smiles when they get to see and hear all their fans cheer for them. I like to see the divers try their hardest. Win or lose they always do their best.
Those are some of the reasons I like to watch the Olympic swimming events.

Wrestling is a sport with two people trying to pin each other for three seconds. When you watch it, it is so fast.
Some of the take down moves are the cradle which is the most famous and the half nelson. Those moves are easy to learn and do.
I like other sports like football but wrestling is my favorite sport. Wrestling is easy to do but sometimes it is hard.
The last but not least the reason why I like to watch wrestling is because I like to watch them attack and attack again.
What I just wrote is why I like to watch the sport of wrestling.

The Olympic sport I like and like to do is swimming. It is a graceful sport and a lot of training is put in to this sport. Some times when they do certain strokes they look like a sharp knife going through butter.
When the swimmers are doing breaststroke they are graceful as a dolphin playing in the surf. The have to work hard to keep up this speed and mobility.
Training is had too you have to practice 20 times a day and swim 2000 meters every stroke which includes butterfly.
When they race breaststroke they look like a sharp knife going through butter by they way they glide they look so peaceful.
I hope one day I can be an Olympic swimmer and be graceful in the water and work had in training and be a sharp knife.

My favorite olympic sport is soccer. I like that it is a team sport. I also like what fast reflexes the players have. My final favorite thing is that it is not too hard to play and I can play it.
I like team sports because they help you meet new people and help to teach you that ther people can help you reach your goals.
It is amazing how players can kick the ball so fast and straightlike an arrow. It is also amazing how high the goalies can jump to block the ball.
I also like that it isn't hard to play. I like to play it as well as most of my friends.
Team games, amazing players, and somewhat easy rules to understand make soccer my favorite olympic sport. Don't you think so too?
