The summer is fast approaching and this summer there
is an event that happens every four years. I am talking about the summer
Olympic that are taking place in London, England. The London games are only eighty-eight
days away and will start on July 27 through August 12. The London games will
have total of twenty-six sports which breakdown into thirty-nine specialties. The
London games are expected to have about 205 countries that will take part in
300 events during the two weeks of the games. London, England has hosted the
Olympics two other times in 1908 and 1948, so this is the third time. One major
difference at these games will be that NBC will be broadcasting all the events
live online.
Two sports were eliminated from the Olympic Games
and they were softball and baseball. No
new sport was added to London 2012 games but now there will be mixed doubles in
tennis and three weight classes in women’s boxing. I cannot wait to see what
the U.S does this summer at the London games. I wonder if we can win the total
medal count again. Will Michael Phillips top his last Olympic performance from
2008? Will the USA basketball repeat
with the gold medal? So Many questions for the summer games, but we all will
have to wait until July 27 to find out.
