OLYMPIC GAMES


Did you know that the first Olympic Games can be traced back in 776BC? They were held in Olympia, Greece every four years in honor of the Olympian gods. They continued for almost 12 centuries and after that they were banned. Then in 1896 Greece once more proclaimed the opening of the Modern Olympic Games which was an idea of Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France. Since then the olympic games are being held every four years at different sites.
You probably watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on July 27th. We would like to hear your comments about this ceremony, so write to us.

What place are the Olympic Games being held this year? What part of the opening ceremony impressed you the most? How do you think our Ecuadorian athletes will do??

  2. This year the olympic games were held in London. The part that impressed me the most was when the drummers marked the beginning of the opening ceremony. They were playing the drums and the lights turn off. I think the Ecuadorian atheletes will try the best for winning.

    This year the Olympic Games are being held in London,England.
    When Rowan Atkinson played his character as Mr.Bean was the part that impressed me the most.He played the piano while he was dreaming about winning a career(based on a scene taken from the movie Chariots of Fire).He was hilarious.
    I think the would give the best of them to achieve as many medals as possible.

    1.-The olimpics take place in Lndon.
    2.-When all countries have a parade in the stadium.
    3.-We will do bad because the other countries have more experience. We get a gold medal in Beigin but we dont have the same persons to win,we have others. .

  7. The Olympic Games are in London. The most impressed part of the opening ceremony was when Mr. Bean played the piano and got sleeping, he was dreaming that he was running with others in the beach then he felt tired so he got into a car passed all the other runners after that he got out and when a runner wanted to get him and crossed the final line, Mr. Bean put the foot to the runner and he won. When he woke up he realized that he was playing the piano and finished the orchesta sinfony.
    The most important Ecuadorian representative until now was Alexandra Escobar who got the fourth position in the olympic games by carrying on 226 kg in total.
    I am very surely that our representative will do the best job and they can win a gold medal

  8. The Olympic games
    The olympic games are a lot of games were all (or almost all) countries play, its celebrated every 4 years. This year the olympic games are celebrated in Londres, there was a great opening, but the part of the opening ceremony I liked most was when Mr Bean appeared and begin to play the piano (only one key) and it pretend sleep and he dreamed he was in a movie named "chariots of fire" were he put the feet to one athlete and he wins. I think our athletes will do their best, will try always to win and do their better try and if they lose they will accept it and do not be angry. For me the olimpic games are one opportunity to made new friendships and relationships a time to pass good and meet other people with different cultures.

  9. This year the Olympics Games being held in London and there is full, because everybody want to see the Olympics Games and to see how their respective countries win a medal. I think that our ecuadorian athletes are doing their most effort to win a gold, silver or bronze medal like Jefferson Perez that win a gold medal and the most important in this Olympics Games is to enjoy, because in this Olympics Games we can win or lose but we do our most effort to go to the Olympics Games and our ecuadorian athletes can meet new people that they don't know and they can be friends. Many athletes can be happy or sad, because many people lose in the games and they are sad, many people win in the games and they are happy or crying, crying, because when a person win their first gold, silver or bronze medal they are crying and they do their most effort to win a medal.

  12. The Olympic Games are being held in London,England this year and that stadium is so incredible i would just dream to be there.I got really impressed in the part when the queen made that jumpsuit stunt that was amazing, i would had never thought she would do that , i mean tha woman is almost 90 years old ...that's crazy, you go Queen Elizabeth.Seriously i think Ecuador will do not so good because there has not been a single year in wich ecuador got close to the final and is usually eliminated first, the only thing left is to have faith.

    This year the famous Olympic Games are being held in London, capital of England.

    I was very impressed when the great Olympic torch appeared with its flame. I also enjoyed the performance of the famous british comedian Mr. Rowan Atkinson, better known as Mr. Bean.

    I think our athletes will do it great, because they have trained hard with perseverance for succeeding at London 2012.

    I really hope that some of our athletes will get a gold medal.

  27. The Olimpics Games 2012 are held in London.

    My best impression was the burned down of the olimpic torch and when all the countries marched into the stadium specially Ecuador.

    I think it will be difficult for our Ecuadorian athletes because they have very important competitors,but I am sure they will do their best to gain a very important position.

    This year, the Olympic Games are held in London the capital of England. I was impressed by the pyrotechnic games, when Paul McCartney sang the song "Hey Jude". I hope the Ecuadorians athletes make a good presentation and win with humility or lose with dignity.
