Rio Olympics

Did you know that Gymnastics is a sport at the Olympics? Gymnastic is an Olympic sport that you could  do lots of events like: beam, bars, vault and floor routines. In Gymnastics there is only two categories  called rhythmic and artistic.

For 32 years only men were allowed to compete but in 1896 women were allowed to compete. I am going to tell about a 19 year old girl named Simone Biles, she was born in March 14 1997.

To play Gymnastic you will have to impress the judges and do lot of moves. Female and Males can take part in Gymnastics. Did you know Simone Biles was adopted? Simone was adopted by her biological grandparents.

Simone Biles, her one big dream was to become a professional gymnast. She practices everyday. In 2012 she wasn’t allowed to compete because she was too young. Simone Biles made up a move that no gymnast can do, she jumps and she does a double twist and on her last turn she does a half turn and lands forward. Her special move is called a double layout half out.

Simone Biles has five  medals in the Olympics she has four  gold medals and one bronze medal, she came third on women's beam because this other women beat Simone Biles. Two gymnast ladies beat Simone, there names are Sanne Wevers came 1st and Laurie Hernandez.

Country that host the Olympics must show they have the capacity space, to hold the games and invest their own money into them. Through the influx of tourists the hosting country hoped to gain more money during the Olympics. Ultimately the IOC decide which country get to host them.

In 2012 the Olympics were held in London, United Kingdom. It was the third time London had hosted the games. The Olympics were held there is 1908 and 1948. One of the upsets of the games was in shot put. Valerie Adams claimed the gold medal only after it was found her Belarusian opponent had tested positive for drugs.

My mark out of 10 is 7 because I forget to the punctuation.

Holiday Highlight

In the holidays, my family and I went to my cousin’s birthday. It was two of my cousins birthday and there names are Poini and Joseph. All the little kids stayed inside and watched tv, while the big kids were outside play rugby or touch.

Then at 9:00pm we had to take all the food outside and the cake we all got it set up. After that we all hid under the table we waited for  my dad and my cousin’s to come and when they all got out of the car we all said “SURPRISE!!!” My cousin were scared so we all ate the food but we had to eat the cake last. We sleep over then at five in the morning we went back home and sleep again.

Olympics dictogloss

The 2008 Olympics were held in Beijing,China. It was the first time women could compete in boxing. Woman from Brunei, Qatar, Saudi Arabia were allowed to participate. This was considered a big deal because women from these country were not equal with men. The game in China were one of the most expensive Olympics in history.
