Introduction
The Summer Olympics are coming up this summer. The Games have been around since 1896 and have played a significant role in celebrating sports all over the world. The most popular Olympic sports are swimming, gymnastics, judo, tennis, cycling, javelin throwing, archery, beach volleyball, BMX bike racing, and weightlifting. So why should you watch the Olympics? The Olympics are a worldwide event that brings together people from all over the world. People from every country, race, and social background convene to celebrate what they have in common: love of the sport
Olympic Events Synchronized Swimming
Synchronized swimming is one of the newest Olympic events, first introduced at the 1984 Olympics. This sport is not as well-known as some of the other sports but it is unique and interesting for viewers. Synchronized swimmers compete with a team of six or eight members and must perform a routine that you can’t do on your own. The routine must include complex moves like spins, jumps, and underwater somersaults.
Olympic Events Diving
Diving is an event where athletes plunge from a platform and try to make the longest or most difficult descent into the water. To win, you need to either do a better dive than your opponent or earn enough points based on height and degree of difficulty. There are two basic types of diving: springboard and platform. Springboard diving, which is the style used in the Olympics and in most meets, is performed on a high springboard, at least 3.05. Diving is one of the most thrilling sports to watch. It combines grace and precision with the beauty of water. The best divers are effortlessly beautiful, executing perfect dives that elicit applause from even the most uninterested viewer.
Olympic Events Track and Field
Track and field, or athletics, is a sport that includes running, jumping, throwing and other types of racing. The competitors move towards a finish line in an effort to beat their competitor’s time. Track and field events make up the majority of the Olympic competition. There are two qualifying rounds for track and field events: one for men and one for women. The top three competitors make it to the final round. Track and field is a broad sport that includes running, hurdling, the long jump, the triple jump, pole vaulting, high jump, javelin throwing, discus throwing, hammer throwing and even racewalking. The Olympic Games are the biggest stage to showcase track and field athletes. Every four years these athletes come together to compete for the gold medal in front of an audience of billions.
Conclusion
The Olympics are one of the few occasions on which Americans get to see more of their sports. As a consequence, many people will tune into the games either because they like the Olympics for their own sake or because they like the competition in some obscure sport. The Olympics are a spectacle that features athletes from all over the world competing for gold. It’s an exciting event to take part in, either as a spectator or as an athlete. With the 2020 games coming up, it might be time to start catching up on some of the events that you might not have watched before. Similar to the water polo event, I think that although there are no TV channels broadcasting this sport, it should be watched by more people. It’s a fascinating game to watch, and it’s exciting to see the athletes use their intelligence to plan their moves through obstacles.
