Current Events 3 Term 3 2012
After watching the first few days of the Olympics of television, what are you initial impressions of the Olympics? Are you enjoying them? Why/ Why not? Explain in detail.
I am engoying some of the sports, but some of them are just completly boring, like dressage, that would be more exciting if they did jumps. I am not completly desprate to watch alot of sports, as im not a particurly sporty persom.
I am enjoying watching the rowing and the new zealand athletes compete. I sort of liked the opening ceremony i just think they went a bit over the top with it like when the kids in the hospital beds were in there i really didnt get that. The best thing about the olympics so far is that they are exciting and good to watch but the bad thing is new zealand hasnt won any medals yet. :(
i am enjoying watching the football and gymnastics and the new zealand athletes compete i realy enjoyed the opening ceramony.the good thing isthat they are good to watch because i like most of the sports they do and they are exciting because you get to watch all of the athletes competeing for thier medals. The bad thing is that we havent won any medals yet. goooooooo new zealand.
I am enjoying the olympics although it is annoying that a lot of the events are in the middle of the night so i cant watch them (waah) i also like watching most of the events except some of the events are quit boring (such as dresage). also the opening ceremony was quite cool although some of it was quite confusing. the olympics is a cool idea but i was shocked when they said that were spending $20 BILLION dollars on the olympics, i mean that money could be spent on something important such as stopping world hunger but over all i have enjoyed the olympics so far GO NEW ZEALAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that it's ok so far but the worst sport so far is badminton its just so dull to watch and they make weird noises but I like the weight lifting there expressions are priceless �� but they make weird noises too. Erin
i think its been qite good really i really like the gymnastics its really interesting and amazing and swimming is one of my favorites too and its fasinating watching the weightlifting how is it possible to lift that much weight but some of the other events i cant watch for more than a few minutes and i only like watching it if nz is involved but other than that i have been enjoying it
I have been enjoying the olympics but it was sonot fair when they put an add on right when we were about to find out if we were going to get a silver or bronze in the equestrian. that was such a cruciall point and it got ruined for lots of people that got up at 5 in the morning to watch it and what was even more annoying was that it was coming live! Petra
i am really enjoying the olympics and the sports that i like watching are syncronised diving, volleyball, rowing(of course) and gymnastics. some sports i cant watch for very long because the first person does it and then everyone else does exactly the same. good luck NZ mikayla :)
My first impressions of the olympics are that the athletes are incredibly good! I'm enjoying most of the sports but in the cross country I thought more people would have fallen and I'm disappointed that they hardly showed any one at the water jumps. I really liked watching the rowing and diving events. I also watched some of the Gymnastic Rotations and it's really cool how they flip and do summersualts.
I am enjoying the olympics very much but i am not really a sporty person it is not my favorite thing. It was great watching the kiwi rowers and equastrian cos they did really well and it is great that athletics is starting cos there are lots of interesting sports in that. I also enjoy the fencing. The opening ceremony was really good but it was confusing at some points.
i like most of the events like swimming, rowing, gymnastics, weight lifting, tenis, athletics, fencing and equestrian. the ones i dont like are table tenis, syncrnised swimming and i dont get the point in judo. we have three gold metal from mahe drysdale(rowing,mens singles),hamish bond and eric murray (rowing, mens doubles)and joseph sullivan and nathan cohen (rowing, mens doubels)and we got three bronze from storm uru and peter taylor (rowing, mens doubles),mark todd, andrew nicolson, jonathan paget and one girl who i am not sure what her name is(equestrian,team) and one more person who got a bronze metal but i dont know who it is. ch103;o
