Winter Olympic Athletes
By: Katherine


    As you all know, the Winter Olympics is taking place right now, at Vancouver, Canada. Many exciting events are occurring, along with famous athletes and exciting fans screaming in the balcony. So far, the United States is taking the lead with the most medals! Some famous athletes that are helping Team USA earn medals are Shaun White, Rachel Flatt, Lindsey Vonn, and Apolo Ohno. Even though Yu-Na Kim is part of Korea's team, I am still rooting for her. She is the Olympic athlete that I would like to meet to the most, along with Sasha Cohen and Rachel Flatt. Yuna Kim's figure skating is very graceful and astonishes me with triple jumps and all the other hard moves. Figure skating is my favorite Olympic sport to watch, so I admire many athletes that figure skate.
    What Olympic athlete do you want to meet and why? What is your favorite sport to watch?

I will want to meet Lynsey Vonn because she is very astonishing how she took over the course. Even though ski jumping is my favorite, ice hockey is great too. After Ms.McPheeters let us watch hockey, I pulled up ice hockey to my second favorite.

My favorite sport to watch is figure skating. I don't really have a favorite athlete. I am how so very glad that U.S.A. with 37 medals.

I want to meet Lindesy Vonn. She had goals and achieved it during the skiing part. I like to watch skiing.

The athlete I really want to meet is Kim Yu-na. She is such a fantastic skater and she inspires me to work hard and she is inspiring me to learn skating! My favorite sports to watch are woman's figure skating, skiing, and ski jumps! If you ever saw ski jumps you should, but it is really dangerous.
