What I like about the olympics

     Ever since I was young, I loved watching the Summer Olympics. Mostly the swimming and the running. I started watching around mid 90's mostly 96 when it came to Atlanta, and well I just liked it a lot, grew to enjoy our athletes even more. Knowing that getting there is half the battle, and being there is much more of a journey.

   It takes heart, strength, courage, power to earn not only a medal but to make your country proud of you. But to tell you the truth, I think all these athletes are heroes in their own way.

What I like about it is the Olympics mostly is the parade in the beginning. Granted it's long, but it is fun to see the countries fighting out for a medal. Some more countries come around every other year while others don't compete for personal reasons. This year it seems that there are more countries competing this year than any other year.

I also like to watch the winter Olympics as well. Not as much as Summer Olympics, but still fun to watch of course. But for some reason, I'm more into Summer Olympics, and the thing is every year that is a leap year, not only we have a new President elected we also get the summer Olympics.

America has shown great strive in the years that has come such as 1996 when young 19 year old Kerri Strug finished her gymnastics and won a medal on hurt ankle. And don't forget Michael Phleps and his many gold medals when he went go Beijing last Summer Olympics. I route for USA every Summer Olympics and I will for a long time. GO USA!!!!! Caio Bloggers!!! GO for the Gold!
