English: Jimmy Tegethoff Mrs. Kerr English 4 April 4, 2011 Winter Olympics Wiki Page The Winter Olympics have become one of the most popular sporting events in the world (Mormonolympians.org). The modern day Winter Olympics began in 1924 and currently have eight sports that are played on snow and ice. These particular events are very interesting to watch because they showcase many unusual sports and because in the snowboarding event people perform outrageous tricks to attract viewers. First, when the early modern Olympics took place in the Alps of Chamonix in 1924, there were fewer events then there are now (Olympics.mu). The events played in 1924 were hockey, bobsledding, figure skating, skiing and speed skating (Olympics.mu). Today, the sports also include the luge, snowboarding, and hurling (Olympics.mu). The Winter Olympics have occurred every four years, with the exception of 1940 and 1944, when they were cancelled because of World War II (Mormonolympians.org). The Winter Olympics have changed significantly since 1924, but they still take place for the same reason: to honor and showcase world-class athletes. In addition, snowboarding is one of the most popular Winter Olympic sports, featuring the half-pipe, parallel giant slalom and snowboard cross (Brown and Frantz). People find this sport very interesting because of the extreme tricks that good snowboarders are capable of performing (Brown and Frantz). Shaun White, one of the world’s best half-pipe snowboarders, has a special trick that only he can do called the “Double McTwist 1260” (Glynnis). The new snowboard cross event has a course with many different obstacles on it including ninety degree angle jumps (Brown and Frantz). Snowboarding is fascinating to watch because of athletes like Shaun White who continue to improve and perform new and amazing stunts. In conclusion, the Winter Olympics are a highly watched event, because they feature a variety of talented athletes competing in unusual sports and because newer events such snowboarding offer viewers nerve-wracking excitement. In the next Winter Olympics, scheduled to take place in 2014, the USA is expected to receive most of the medals in the snowboarding events because of the talents of athletes like Shaun White (Brown and Frantz). If history repeats itself, the Winter Olympics will continue to expand and will offer viewers even more exciting events to watch. Religion: Latin: Math:
