Explanation Writing - Olympics

Hello my name is May & this story is all the about the day the Olympics begun. In 776 BC the ancient Olympics began. The ancient Olympic games were all about men competing one another in different games and events. The Olympic games were held every four years. I will be explaining or sharing to you everything about the ancient Olympics.

Thousands of years ago, in 776 BC there was something called the ancient Olympics. The ancient Olympics were all about worshiping to the Greek gods, just like Zeus and Etc. The ancient Olympics continued for over thousands of centuries and days ago. One ordinary day Emperor Theodosius banned the the ancient Olympics in 391 AD, he also banned the Pagan Practices because the practices were dedicated to the pagan gods so Emperor Theodosius banned the Pagan practices. 15 years later in 1896 the summer and winter Olympics begun and there were many types of sports.

This year the games are held in Rio. Every four years a different country is chosen to host the Olympic games, and this year the country that has been chosen is Rio. Whatever country the Olympics are held in they get lots of tourists and media works, coming to their country. So the country that hosts the Olympic games makes new things like building, shops & restaurants to make the people think that they have made a great choice on which country to host the Olympics. It's just like if other countries host a Rugby world cup game then they would probably make new things and they would get lots of tourists and media works coming to their country.

There has been a massive change to the Olympics. Back in those days the woman were not allowed to compete in the Olympics but in now days the woman are finally free and they are allowed to compete in the Olympics. The thing that has also changed is that there are many more sports now than back in those days.  Back in those days there just had one type of sport, and that sport was the 100 meter race. But now in our days there are many types of sport just as, Running, Cycling, Boxing, Swimming and also other amazing types of sports. I love the new Olympics !

I can’t wait to see the rest of the Olympics games for 2016. I am really excited to see all the different sports and athletes competing in the Olympics. Go Olympics 2k16 !!
