Hi everyone,

I am so excited about the start of the Olympic games, it seems forever that the world has been waiting for the 08/08/08 to arrive! Did you know that the Chinese decided on that date as it is extreamly lucky. As well as the start of the games in China, the day will be very special for thousands of couples as they will be getting married on that day so that their marraiges will be blessed with good luck and lots of good fortune!!

I have been catching some of the run up shows about the Olympics and what sports to watch and I am really looking forward to the gymnastics and swimming competitions. Mum and dad say that its awsome just watching any of the sports as its really exciting, mum reckons that its so awsome cause although we are all competeing against each other to win medals there is something about the Olymics that makes it so special and that it brings countries from all around the world together in a common goal and that all the athelets really respect one another as they know how hard and how much time and effort goes into training, and that just to be there is a massive achievement!!



Don't forget to watch the opening ceromony on Friday,it looks like it will be amazing, and have you seen the stadium they have built in Beijing where they will hold it! it looks awsome I wonder what all the athelets will be feeling as all the years of preparing for their events will be about to happen!! I can imagine they will feel very excited as well as feeling very proud to represent their country, watch out for when the Olympic torch finally reaches it's destination in the stadium after travelling all around the world and the Olympic flame is finally lit signalling the begining of the games.


Write me with any news you have on the games, what sports you like to watch or maybe you have a relative who is compeating? I will post things up as amazing stories unfold!!

Be inspired!!!!!!!!
