Going For Gold!

The Winter Olympics have just finished in Sochi, Russia, and it was great to watch. Out of all of the events, hockey and curling were my two favorite. If you could do only one event in the Winter Olympics, what would it be? I would like for you to tell me if you watched any of the Olympics and what event you would participate in and why. Make sure you write 5th grade sentences and you check over ALL of your work. If there are a lot of grammatical mistakes and it does not have at least five sentences, I will not post it. Remember to type it in a word document first, that way you can print it and hand it in if it doesn't post to the blog. If you didn't watch any of the Olympics and you don't know what the events are, please come see me and I will help you. Have fun with this and make sure you do your best work. I can't wait to read about what event you would try to get the gold medal in!

  1. I watched lots of the Olympic games. My favorite thing I would like to do is slope style snowboarding. I think it looks really cool to go off the big jumps. I like to go over jumps with my snowboard now, but I want to figure out how to do bigger jumps. Some of my other favorite events were hockey, bobsleding and half pipe. I look forward to the next winter Olympics and maybe I will be making bigger jumps by then!

  2. I watched the part in the Olympics when they were skating and curling. If I could be in the Olympics I would choose to do curling. I chose curling because I would love to sweep the ice to get a point for the U.S.A. Also I would also like to try pushing and curling the spinning thing to see how it moves. I am hoping I can watch all of the winter Olympics next year.

  3. The winter Olympics have just finished in Sochi, Russia, and it was great to watch. My favorite event was figure skating. It’s my favorite because I liked the color of their outfits, and seeing how much time they spent practicing their sport Personally, I think every team used their time very well. I would figure skating if I could participate in one sport. I don’t know how good I would be at it. I think my feet were meant to stay on the ground! MR

  4. If I could compete in any sport it would be skating. I would want to skate because to me skating is fun and I enjoy it! I think it would be fun to choose your own costumes (I would choose a warm one, because it would get cold in the ICE RINK). I think it would also be fun to do all the beautiful moves and flips and spins while watching the gorgeous skirts twirl in the air. I would cheer on my U.S.A teammates and have a lot of fun doing it. Yes, I did watch the Olympics, but just a little bit of them.

  5. If I could be in the Olympics, I would do skating . When I watched the Olympics, I saw people on skates dancing. They did it really fast. It looked fun, and I liked the costumes they were wearing. I would love to try to do flips and twirls . I would kind be scared in front of all the people though . It would be cold on the ice rink , that is what I would want to do in the Winter Olympics.

  7. If I could be in any Olympic game it would be downhill skiing. The reason I want to do downhill skiing is that I love it. Even though I'm really scared when I look down It's the best thing ever. Sometimes I do really good, but sometimes I don't. Like one time I lost control and did a slow split, but one times I did really good on my curves on the hill. B.S.

  8. If I could be in the Olympic games I would choose snowboarding. I would choose this because I really like snowboarding. I have never gone snowboarding but it looks really fun. I hope if I practice I will be very good at snowboarding.

  9. If I were to go the Olympics in 2022 I would enter in bobsled. I would enter in bobsled because I really like the idea of people being in a bobsled with big ice skates on the bottom and you have start out running and then jump in to your bobsled while running. Bobsled is really interesting because there are two people in it and interesting to see these people that are from like Jamaica that never get snow and there in the Winter Olympics. Then they end up 28th place. The events I watched were Skelton, bobsled, couple ice skaters, all snowboarding events, skiing did you know that there was a man from Manchester,Vermont 45 minutes away from Walpole. I also watched hockey when Finland beat the U.S.A 5-0 and took the bronze also the opening ceremonies that were amazing. My favorite player in the Olympics was Sage Kotsenburg because we won the gold in men's half pipe!!!! I can't wait to read all the rest of 5Cs blogs.

  10. I really enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics the last few weeks. My favorite events to watch were Luge and Biathlon. If I were able to participate in the next Winter Olympics, it would be in the Biathlon. I chose the Biathlon because I really enjoy skiing and shooting firearms, so this way I can do both at the same time. I like how they are able to shoot with quickness and ease and hit the target almost every time. The United States has never won a medal in the Biathlon, so I could be the first one.
