English: Andrew St. John Mrs. Kerr English – 1 April 3, 2011 The Winter Olympics The Winter Olympics have a long and storied history. Every four years, countless numbers of people tune in to watch the world’s greatest athletes compete. These games have an ability like no other to bring together people and cultures from all over the world. The Winter Olympics are a great event because they have evolved from such humble beginnings, and because they have different games that appeal to everyone. First, the Modern Olympics were not always as big as they are now. For example, when the first Winter Olympics took place in Chamonix, France in 1924, attendance was scarce. This was because the World Fairs were the major world events at the time (Social Studies for Kids). Next, the first Olympics had significantly less events than it has today. There were 16 events, some of which included Hockey, Bobsled, and Speed Skating (History Channel). Along with that, 16 different countries competed in these events. From these 16 nations, 258 athletes participated (Social Studies for Kids). Even though the times have changed, some events still remain a staple in the Winter Olympics. Second, the Winter Olympics provide a variety of different games. For example, many people enjoy the Hockey events during the Winter Olympics. Hockey has been in the Winter Olympics since they began. Next, Hockey has several aspects that appeal to its viewers. Some of these aspects are the fast-paced action and physical play (International Olympic Committee). Also, some countries have always been top competitors in this event. Traditionally, the top countries in this event are the USA, Canada, Russia, and all of the Scandinavian countries. Anyone can expect one of these teams to claim a medal in the event (History Channel). No matter the viewer, events such as Hockey always draw viewers. In conclusion, the Winter Olympics have a great legacy. Even during times of distress and hardship, the Olympics can boost the spirits of everyone around to world. The up-beat celebrations and nostalgic flashbacks make the Olympics a truly special time. All in all, the Olympics can entertain everyone because they rose from such small beginnings, and because the variety of games provide an atmosphere that appeals any persons specific tastes.
