A story write up :






In 2008, the month of August, the Bei jing olympic started . Many countries were invovled and athletics are ready to set off for their event. The athletics showed prode by doing their very best to get a medal for their country. Exellence is important for athletics because without it we can never do our best in the race. Athletics such as Michale Phleps prepared himself by eating loads of food such as omeletes for breakfast as he burns 10'000 calories per day . Michale Phelps os a good example of exellence as he prepares himself both Mentally and Physically . He broke the world record by getting 8 gold medals for all the swimming events . He had tried his best fro every event he took part in . I think he shows the value , exellence , in the Olympic Games . This shows that it doesn't matter win or lose but most important is that we try our best to complete the race . Another example was ,Usan Bolt , he shows exellence in completing the race and peserverance because he ran very fast. He said that "My country send mee here to take part in the race but not to give up half way through ." he showed exellence as he didn't cared about the spectator but just continued in his own race . He has his own goal in his mind ... All he has in his mind is that to complete the race and not to complete the race ..

Reflection

I think that the olympics have taught us people many values especially excellence and perseverance which is keep on trying till the end.It is also not about winning because the athletes was sent for their country to represent, not to win.But they did their best for their country.In school if we run the 2.4km run we must not stop until the finish line.The singaporean are proud of their table tennis team and swimming for achieving a medal for singapore.Like yip pin xiu,she won gold medal for singapore in the paralympics games . People must know the importance of olympics

Reflection

I felt very proud of the first Youth Olympics Games hosted by Singapore. It is the first YOG and i am very proud that my country is hosting it. I AM doing a sports event which i love the most that is soccer,my friends and i play together on Mondays and Wednesdays and that is my way of keeping fit. I love Olympics as there is a lot of happening around the world talking about a person or a certain sports as our country is small, we cannot host the olympics so the YOG is a fine sports event and i hope singapore will make the opening ceromany a happening one.
