First discussion topic - The Olympics.

This is where you should reply with your thoughts and comments on the Olympics. You can talk about the French or the British performance, you can talk about the olympics as an ideal, or perhaps the balance or imbalance of sports in the olympics. Is there a sport you would add or remove? What about professional and amateur athletes? You can also talk about the paralympics and the effect that these events have on sports in France/UK.

Think and write, don't panic. Your English doesn't have to be perfect.

Olympic games
The Olympic games is event when the biggest sportsmen of every participating nation oppose, it’s a
competition enters nation, it’s a competition with the numbers won medal by nation.
For win this competition, the nations do not hesitate to use drugs and everything whas illegal.
For olympic games of 2012 we say now what the russian sportsmen had been on drugs in every test.
But is not the only case or only nations to make, every nation do this.
They do this because is not just a competition, it’s a war political, economic in reduced size, yes it’s
good event for population of evry nation but for the nation it’s a war of most powerful country.

The Olympics Games are very famous and watched in the world. This is a meeting beetween countries and their athletes. In 2016, they passed in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).

The Olympic games is the biggest sportive event for athletes, every nation of the world can participate if their athlètes have minima in our sport. It's a competition between nations. Olympic title it's the most prestigious title for an athlete. For got this, athletes don't hesitate to use drugs for to become most powerful. Since 2012, the war against doping grows.
Except doping, Olympics games présents another problem : Money. The country who welcomes don't hesitate to use lot of money than his PIB to build infrastructures too big. The problem is what the money earn thanks to Olympics is not use to the population but just for the richest (Like Brasil in 2016) OLympics games causes social problems in the country who welcomes.
To speak performances, France don't have make good games : 42 medals and 10 olympics title. Only one good thing, the next generation of french athletes are ready for Tokyo 2020 and won more medals than Brasil.
And we are the first nation who have an amateur athlete who became olympic champion (Tony Yoka)

Olympic games are an international event which are organised every 4 years in different places in the world, and they were created during the 19 th century. During this event, many sports and 206 countries are represented, and thousands of athletes represent their sport and their country !
This year, olympic games take place in the famous city "Rio de Janeiro", in Brazil and it was during few days (5-21 august). In 2016, France won 10 gold medals, 18 silver medals and 14 bronze medals ! To finish, this year, paralympics games were organised after olympics games during 12 days.

The Olympics Games are one of the most biggest event in the world for players... but for business world too.
Some facts can show it:

The first example, is the sponsors war. Indeed we can see the publicity everywhere in stadiums, on TV or on the athletes. It's the best time for sponsors to win money despite of the big investment they did because more they invest, more they are shown and more they are shown, more people will know the sponsors so it's beneficial for them. Moreover, only bigs advertisers can be shawn as Coca Cola or Nike. It's jungle's laws.

The second example is politic. In fact, the country wants to keep a good image of Rio de Janeiro for tourism (for money) because we imagine the beautiful sea, bigs hills, parties, the sun, Christ the Redeemer etc... Yes. Favelas, thiefs, poverty and 2 400 000 people living in favelas... No. So, the government displayes a lot of soldiers and policeman to provide oversight in Rio, but they abuse their powers on the favelas's people just for, at the end, keeping a good image to attracts tourists. (see on Amnesty Internationnal "la politique du "tirer d'abord, interroger ensuite")

The Olympic games were the scene of a confrontation during the Cold War. For example in 1984 in Los Angeles, Soviet countries boycotted the event to convey a message. The confrontation was therefore political, sports and "military" but never direct confrontation. This message was a response to US boycott of the 1980 Olympics Games in Moscow.

Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian in history.

The American swimmer ended his career after his fifth Games, in Rio in 2016, where at the age of 31 he won a further five gold medals and a silver, taking his tally to 23 Olympic titles and 28 medals! A record unlikely to be beaten any time soon.

Diagnosed with Attention Deficit disorder, Phelps was directed towards swimming in 1992 at the age of just seven in order to provide him with an outlet for his unbounded energy. After that, his transformation into an unbeatable swimmer appeared inexorable, and he broke record after record as he rose through the age categories.
