English: Carter Griesedieck Mrs. Kerr English 4 February 28, 2011 Winter Olympics The Winter Olympics were first held in 1924 in Chamonix, France. These sports including Cross-country skiing, Figure Skating, Ice Hockey, Nordic combined, Ski Jumping, and Speed Skating have been in every single Winter Olympic Games since 1924. The Winter Olympics alternate with the Summer Olympic Games. Every two years there is one of the two Olympic Games whether it is The Summer Games or The Winter Games. One very popular sport that was added to the Winter Games was curling. The Olympic Games are fascinating because they feature skilled athletes and because they represent your country. ( [] ) First, the Olympic Games are fascinating because they feature skilled athletes. The Olympics have always showed people the best their country could do and the best other countries could do for that sport or event. The Games are a group of events or sports that athletes compete in to earn various medals. A first, second, or third place spot in a sport earns a medal. First place earns gold as second place earns silver and third place earns a bronze medal for that event. The most gold medals ever won in a single Winter Olympics was 14 set by Canada in the 2010 Vancouver Games. The Olympic Games are fascinating because they represent your country. (http://www.slideshare.net/CompeteAt/curling-101-the-basics-of-the-sport-of-curling-presentation) Curling has two targets that have ones flag or symbol painted below the ice or a regular target for neutral games. The sport of curling is very basic and very complex at the same time. Many people love the sport because how much each team member contributes to the outcome of the game. The sport of curling shows teamwork because each team member switches positions with every ‘launch’. Curling first started on the swamps of Scotland using polished rocks and pushing them towards a target. Curling is made up two teams with four players. Each player gets a turn at every position which includes ‘The Lead’, ‘The Second’, ‘The Vice Skip’, and ‘The Skip’. The ‘Skip’ is the team captain and the team name is usually the last name as the Skip. Curling is a sport that is becoming ever more popular with kids and recreational players that do not want to play competitively. The Olympic Games always show sportsmanship and general love for their country when they strive to impress and please their country with their effort. The Winter Olympics will always remain a friendly and anticipated event. The Olympic Games are fascinating because they feature skilled athletes and because they represent your country.
