Hello everyone, since school has shut down I have been working on my homework. We have been given some blogging activities. The blogging activities are about Olympics since Olympics is suppose to come soon but I think its cancelled. Here is some information first before, we get to what activity one is about.
Fun Fact: The first ever Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece in 776 BC.
Our Olympic Journey starts thousands of years ago in a place called Olympia. Olympia
was an ancient city in the country of Greece.
The ancient city of Olympia was the site of the first ever Olympic Games. They were
held in 776 BC. During these games, men from Greece were invited to participate in one
or more of the following events – running, jumping, discus throwing, wrestling, boxing,
pankration, horse and chariot races, and the pentathlon. The ancient Olympic Games
came to an end in 393 AD, approximately 1000 years after they had first started.
Here is activity one:
Activity 1: Let’s imagine that you were alive 2796 years ago and invited to compete in
the first ever ancient Olympic Games. Which of these events: running, wrestling, boxing,
pankration, horse racing and pentathlon would you compete in? Click here to read more
about each of the sports. On your blog tell us which sport you would choose and why
you chose it.
I prefer doing the stade running where I would sprint to the other side. I think stade is
easier because I just have to ran to the other side. I think wrestling and boxing is too
dangerous and it is possible I would get injured.
Though I would like to try doing the javelin.
I think that will be all.
Thank you for reading this blog post.
