1. Hi guys in my speech I´m going try to explain you the Olympic
Games which took part in Los Angeles, USA.
First of all they began the 28th of July and finished the 12th of
August. Another feature will be that in total six thousand eight
hundred and twenty nine athletes took part from one hundred
and forty different countries. Here you can see that the different
between the participation of women and men is huge. They
competed in twenty one sports and two hundred and twenty
one specialties.The official stadium was called Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum
Now I´m going to show you a video which is made up by the
different events of the Olympic Games. In this part of the video
you can see the different country flags which participated, they
are in the opening ceremony. This Olympic Games consisted of
different sports such as athletics, shot-put, long jump, high jump,
synchronized swimming, marathon, rhythmic gymnastics, sailing,
swimming, equestrian sport and boxing.
In this part of the presentation you can see the people who
stood out. For example the American Carl Lewis rose to history
because he won four gold medals in the same events.
Furthermore The Romanian Ekaterina Szabowon gold medals in
the majority of the rhythmic gymnastics competitions however
she fell against Mary Lou Retton.
Now move on to the curiosities of this Olympic Games. As USA
had boycotted previously the Olympic Games in Moscow 1980
the Soviet Union and another communist countries didn´t
attend. In addition it was the first that a female marathon was
carried out and finally Sam was the official mascot.
