i dont really knoe the origin of the olympic games. the olympics is important as it shows who is good in a certain sport. i have watched the olympic games and i really enjoy it. my favourite event is swimming and basketball. i find this 2 sports very exciting especially swimming. my favourite athlete is michael phelps. he is my favourite athlete as he was able to get 8 gold medals. in one of the events, he won another athlete by 0.01s. that was a really exciting event. i would like to play in the olypics if i had a chance to. i would like to play basketball as it has always been my favourite sport. i think it is worth organising the olympics as it takes place only once every 4 years...(i think) well thats all i have to say.
