Ready for Sochi?
Who is going to the Olympics? How good are the athletes? Here is the answer to all those questions.
The
opening ceremony is on February 6 or 7. The closing ceremony is on
February 23. 2,500+ athletes from 84+ nations will go to the Fisht
Olympic Stadium in Sochi, Russia. Sochi, Pyeongchang, South Korea, and
Salzburg, Austria were competing of where to hold the Olympics, but
Sochi won the bid. The Olympics consists of 98 events in 7 sports. In
this Olympics, the women's ski jump is happening for the first time.
Here are some famous athletes.
The workers payed $50 billion to build Fisht Olympic Stadium. The stadium can seat upto 40,000 people!
One
of the talented figure skaters is Gracie Gold. She is only 18! She is
the 2014 U.S. National champion, and won a silver medal in the 2012
Junior Olympics. She lives in Springfield, Missouri. She was fourth on
beginner level in 2010 in America. In the 2012 Junior Olympics, her
luggage was delayed by two days, but luckily, not her skates.
Another
athlete is Sarah Hendrickson. She is a ski-jumping world champion. One
day, she was ski-jumping, and she got a knee injury. Hendrickson is a
little older than Gracie Gold. Gold and Hendrickson are first time
comers.
Bode
Miller is an Alpine skier. He won 5 medals so far, one gold, three
silver, and one bronze. He was disappointed because he got eighth place
this time.
Polina
Edmunds is a figure skater from Mitty High School. She was born in
Santa Clara, and lives in San Jose! Archbishop Mitty High School is just
one mile away from school!
Get
your TV ready to watch the Olympics. Who is going to win? Will Gracie
Gold win a gold medal just because it's her last name?

I never knew a teen was competing in the Olympics! I want to watch the bobsled races.
Great job Harshil. I think that Gracie Gold will win a medal because she is talented. I thing Russia will win because they are used to the place.
Ha ha ha ha! Maybe. Since you say that Gracie Gold is a great athlete, I'll take your word for it and say yes.
Wow Harshil
Great Blog. Like most people, I like sports so the Olympics are really important to me. My favorite sport played in the Olympics is snowboarding. Even though I have never been, I am dying to go.
Once Again, Great Blog!

I hope USA wins a few medals, preferably gold. Maybe Gracie Gold will win out of hard work and maybe luck.
Harshil-
Phenomenal blog! The Olympics are a very interesting subject for everyone. Isn't it funny that a few of our Olympic athletes come from the bay area? I even know somebody who knows, and is friends with Polina Edmunds. Your blog was very informational. Great Blog!
I liked your concluding sentence, because it was humorous. I haven't chosen who to cheer for. I've only watched it once. I just hope team USA gets gold medals.
Great blog! I don't know who is going to win. I'm voting for Gracie Gold, I hope she wins. Anyway great blog!
Awesome blog Harshil!,
Thanks for the information! This Olympics is my favorite yet. Although usually Olympics are always exciting this one just seem more thrilling. I like Gracie Gold, she is a great athlete. I think Russia is going to win in skiing. Russia already won figure skating and snowboarding is already over, but maybe skiing? I think Gracie Gold is winning because of her name it's how she performs, does it have enough quality, emotions? All that stuff. Enough about Gracie Gold and Russia, FANTASTIC BLOG HARSHIL!!

Great blog, Harshil!
I watched the Olympics and thought the most entertaining sport was the women's figure skating. Gracie Gold was terrific! It is sad that she didn't win a gold medal.
Great blog, Harshil!
