By Matthew G2012 summer Olympics
Today people view the Olympics in a lot of different ways; some people believe they bring the world closer together and others just view it as a competitive sporting event for bragging rights against other countries. What some people forget about the Olympics is the pride. The pride that you see every athlete has when they’re wearing their countries colors, the pride that every fan has when they’re cheering for their favorite athlete.
Next year in London, England the Olympics should be better than ever. The Americans are coming off record- setting performances by swimmer Michael Phelps and by the basketball team who captured their first gold medal in eight years.
The Olympics are still ten months away, but students at Hopkinton High School are already getting excited. Athlete Liam McNicholas is counting down the days until he sees his favorite sprinter run, Usain Bolt who is hoping he can break his own record in the 100-meter dash. Hopkinton Basketball star Dalton Morris is hoping that Kevin Durant and the USA basketball team can bring home another gold like four years ago.
Even though the Olympics isn’t for another ten months, athletes across the country should be getting ready because next summer in London sports fans are going to witness something great.
