London Olympics 2012

London is where the Olympics are being held for 2012. We watched a great video about the upcoming London Olympics. This year, there could be a return from famous athletes such as Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to defend their titles.

New sparkling venues are very important for the athletes because without venues they can’t compete. So here are some venues for the 2012 Olympics. Wimbledon for the Tennis. City Central for the bike racing and running.   

According to legend, the Olympics were created to honour the god of Olympia....... Zeus. The first olympics were held in Greece. Back then, they didn’t get medals for winning, they received an olive branch.

Ever since the previous Olympics in London (1908 and 1948), I know this year, the Olympics are going to be very close in the events and it will come down to nail biting finishes. The events I am looking forward to are Diving, Javelin, Track and Field and High Jump.

I am really looking forward to Michael Phelps’ return. From USA and only 27 years old, he is a 16 time Olympic medal holder. He is the best swimmer I know. The person I’m looking forward to in the track and field events is Usain Bolt. HE IS THE FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD!  The lady that I’m looking forward to is the great shot put queen, Valerie Vili. She is the best Shot-putter IN THE WORLD!!!
