What are the Olympic Games?

Here is my explanation for What are the Olympic Games? We had to think about who,what,when in our first couple of sentences.

What are the Olympic Games?

Lots of athletes come  from all different countries to compete in the  Olympic Games and sports every four years.

The athletes try to break records and win medals. The athletes compete against other countries to make a peaceful world.

The athletes compete in shot put, shooting and other sports like cycling, swimming, rowing, and high jump.

Most people want to win medals. To win a medal you have to get 1st ,2nd ,3rd place. The Olympic events run for over seventeen days.

The athletes wear uniforms to represent their country. At the opening ceremony one athlete is chosen to hold the flag to show what country they represent.

At the Olympics there are team sports and individual sports. The team sports  are where you have to work in a group for example  netball or rowing. In the individual sports you have to work alone for example running, swimming.

My conclusion is that the Olympics is a good time for other countries to get along together.
