The Olympics are over with the USA winning with 104 medals of which 46 are
gold; but don't worry, there's still more exciting sporting to come! And the
next big thrill will be "The Paralympic Games" also being held in
London and will start on Wednesday 29th of August!
The Paralympic Games will last for a good 15 days with a lot of interesting
variety of events such as wheelchair fencing, sitting volleyball and the one I’m
looking forward to the most, the wheelchair rugby! There will also be events that
all of us are familiar with such as swimming, cycling track and track and
field.
Queen Elizabeth II will be officially opening the games just like she did
for The Olympics. Prince Philip was also suppose to attend the opening
ceremony, but it looks like he is too sick with a serious bladder infection.
“Blade Runner” Oscar Pistorious is making history by competing in both The
Olympics and The Paralympics this year! There were so many complaints about him
competing in the 400m run in The Olympics because a percentage of The Olympics
fans think that he had an unfair advantage with his bouncy blade feet.
So everyone, don’t forget to turn on your TV starting 29th of August to
follow The Paralympic Games! See you guys on the next post.
