  2. 1. What I really liked about the Olympics was how everyone seemed to have a really good time and there were no people on drugs that I heard of .
    2. I really did not at all like how a few teams cheated and did not try there best at the sport like the badminton players and also the cyclists even though they probably would of won anyway.
    3. A few things I will never forget are usain bolt getting yet another world record in the 100 metre sprints and also watching the kiwis in the rowing and also in the bmx.

  3. 1. what i liked about the olympics was how everyone seemed to have a good time any try their hardest. also another good thing is that i only heard of 1 person use steroids.
    2. what i did not like was when some teams threw the game on purpose such as the badminton players and i also did not like how one of the cyclists purposefully fell off his bike.
    something i will never forget is Mahe Drysdale wining by a huge amount in the rowing and the new zealand equestrian team spraying champagne at each other

  4. I really liked watching the New Zealand teams compete I also like how we did really well! I like how although there were some people who used drugs the majority didn't and tried there best.
    I I didn't like how people fixed the game so that they got to verse other people in the finals or later on. I also didn't like how the british cycling team fell off on purpose!
    My favorite momment would be Valleri Adams getting gold after all instead of silver! My other favorite moment is of the south african swimmer (Chad le Clos) beat Phelps in the 200m men's butterfly final.

  5. I liked watching the New Zealand teams compete and win I liked the fact that the Belorous Russian got caught using drugs.
    I didnt like the fact that the Belorous Russian used drugs because she caused Valerie alot of tears,I also didnt like that some teams threw the game to get in a better position.
    My favourite momment was watching Usain Bolt win gold three times also watching all the other New Zealanders win some medals but als just watching them compete in the Olympics it is such a great achevment.

  6. I really likad that the atmosphere was really friendly and relaxed and that most people didnt use drugs compared to other games where there were lots of drugs used. I disliked the fact that that belarussian used drugs and cheated valerie out of a gold medal and that teams were tanking. My favorite moment was watching the equatsrtian team win bronze and valerie adams get a gold after all. Alyssa

  13. My favorite thing about the olympics is the worldwide unity it brings, meanwhile the things i most dislike about it is that some competitors use drugs to improve their abilitys, and some countrys change the way the winning country is decided so that they win.
