When I was in grade school, I had always dreamed to become an Olympic swimmer. I have been swimming since I was 2 years old and am very good at it. I don’t really dream of becoming that anymore. The winter Olympics don’t really interest me, so I will not really be watching them. If I would compete, I would be an Olympic swimmer.

DeleteWell the only winter sport I think I will be able to do is like skiing. I only have done skiing once and I do't really do winter sports. The winter Olympics don’t really interest me, so I will not really be watching them. Maybe the summer Olympics I will watch more since it has sports that I recognize more.
ReplyDeleteI would probably pick skiing too! Great blog:)
DeleteI would pick skiing . Good blog sajin
DeleteI've never dreamt about participating in the Olympics. If I ever participate in the Olympics, It'll be for the Summer Olympic Games where i'd play soccer. I'll probably watch 2 or 3 events. I'll mainly be going for Canada and a Greece. Canada has 7 medals so far and Greece has 0. R.I.P Greece. I'd probably compete in a skiing event because at my elementary we learned how to ski in grade 5 and 6. I think I'm pretty good at skiing. In my opinion, I prefer the Summer Olympics.
ReplyDeleteDo you agree that Canada is doing well?
DeleteYes, I have dreamed of being an olympic athlete but I think anyone who does a sport competitively or even not competitively has dreams of being in the olympics. I already watched some of the events like: speed skating, snowboarding, and figure skating. I haven't watched the alpine skiing yet but I want to watch that next. Of course I will be cheering for Canada. I think they’re doing really well so far. If I had to choose a winter sport, I think I would do cross country skiing because it’s more on the easier side and I’m okay at it. But, snowboarding or skiing looks really fun too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, snowboarding was also my second option. Great blog!
DeleteNo I have never dreamed of being an Olympic athlete i wasn't a idea I was thinking of, and it isn't as nice people think you need a large amount of preparation and way to many blood tests (but needed). I will be watching every sport with my family (When possible), and we are cheering for Canada but are open to cheer for any country or team (such as Olympic Athletes Of Russia).
ReplyDeleteI'll Be at school Tomorrow.
Deletegood team choice the Olympic Athletes of Russia are very good at winter Olympics.

I never dreamed of being in the Olympics, but I did dream about a sport being added to the Olympics. I really want ringette to be added to the Olympics and if in more countries, girls start playing ringette, maybe that will someday happen. I will be watching all of the events that I possibly can, in fact I am watching the women's hockey game right now! I will be cheering for Canada. If someday ringette is added to the Olympics, that will probably change my idea about wanting to join the games.
ReplyDeleteThat would be smart of them to add ringette! Great blog!!
DeleteRingette is a great sport, I hope it gets added soon. Nice blog!
DeleteThat would be a nice sport to add. Great blog!
DeleteThey should ABSOLUTELY add ringette to the winter olympics! Great blog Jenna : )
DeleteOMG so many comments
DeleteI did dream of being in the Olympics when I was much younger. I used to always watch figure skating on tv, and I always wanted to do it, but as I got older, the thought kind of faded away. I’m going to be watching some sports, but just whatever is on while i’m watching, but I would like to see some of the skiing and the skating. While i’m watching, I will obviously cheering for Canada.
ReplyDeleteI never wanted to be an Olympian because it can be really dangerous for the winter Olympics if you are not prepared. The only events I am going to watch are the ski jump and snowboarding. I am going to be cheering for the Canadiens. If I was going to be a Olympian I would probably be in the winter Olymics because I would participate in the ski jump. I would do that because I am a really good skier and will have the best chance in that sport
ReplyDeleteI never really thought of it being that dangerous, that's probably because the people doing the sports are so good at it and make it look easy, nice blog
DeleteTo be honest, in some ways, I would want to be an Olympian. It can be dangerous and risk taking at times, but at the end of the day, if I was an Olympian, I would feel proud that I'm even in the Olympics! The events that I will be watching will be figure skating and speed skating. I really like watching figure and speed skating when the winter Olympics roll around. I've always loved to skate and I used to be a figure skater! The team that I will be cheering for will be..... Canada!!! Go Canada!
ReplyDeleteI will be watching skating too. Great Blog!
DeleteI will be watching figure skating too!
DeleteGreat blog:)
I never really dreamed of being in the Olympics, I always it would be cool to be there but i never dreamed of being there, mostly because I'm not really good at sports. If I had to choose from which Olympic to go to I would go to the Summer Olympics because there's more things I like and I find it just more funner like in the summer Olympics there's biking, swimming, volleyball, etc. In the winter Olympic there's things I don't do or I'm not really interested in it. I am going to be watching the Olympics only a little bit but it's harder to do so when you live in a house where it's not a big deal. But I am going to watch the games where Canada is playing and the skating. There isn't really a sport I could compete in because I don't do any winter sports. But if I had to go I would want to be in skating if I knew how.
ReplyDeleteDon't say that you're not good at sports, be confident in yourself and you can do it : ) nice blog.
DeleteI always dreamed of being a good athlete but the Olympics are my super goal, being able to be chosen to play for my country. The event I would be watching the most is hockey, it is the sport I grew up watching and the sport I love playing and that is why I would watch hockey. I will so be watching Canada because I really support my country. A winter sport I will be watching is hockey because hockey is life.
ReplyDeleteI hope one day you are playing on the Canadian hockey team, in the winter Olympics. I will definitely be cheering for you and proudly saying, “that is my friend”.

ReplyDeleteI haven't really dreamed about being an Olympic athlete cause I think you have to sacrifice so much of your time every single day for several hours. I have watched the mens freestyle skating, the ice skating pairs event and the half pipe. I Sheered for Canada but in the half pipe there Where no Canadiens that made the finals. Since I am a skater I would either do freestyle or pairs.
ReplyDeleteI haven't specifically dreamed of being an Olympic athlete. Except, I've dreamed of me doing something amazing and then a humongous crowd would cheer for me, I mean if that's close enough. Although I would like to feel accomplished when a crowd of people are yelling my name in pride (**thinking** ZACH!!!! ZACh!!! ZAch!! Zach! zach...). But I know, in the condition I'm in right now I would never really have a chance at anything... unless they have an eating competition, even though Olympians eat a LOT (literally), I don't think there is an eating competition. I don't really watch the Olympics unless I happen to come across it on TV. I usually just look up the scores afterwards on my phone or on the computer, but yes I will be rooting for Canada. since I know eating competition is not in the Olympics, the only other sport I'd have a chance at is Alpine Skiing, mostly because I go skiing almost every year during march break and I'm pretty good at it, sometimes we also go on the weekend. My mom always tell me keep turning, you're going to fast so Alpine Skiing would be the perfect time for me to do that.
ReplyDeleteWow amazing blog Zach, you're just so amazing....... I really need help ) ;
DeleteI have dreamed of being a professional gymnast and preform in the olympics. I think I would watch figure skating because I love when they do the acrobatics. If I could compete in any winter olympic sport, it would have to be figure skating. One of the reasons is because I love skating and I love doing spins.
ReplyDeleteI agree with gymnastics being a good spot to be in
DeleteI love watching the Olympics, both summer and winter. This year, the fact that they are being held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, it makes it a little harder to watch them because of the time difference. I follow all the winter Olympic sports (ex. hockey, curling, skating, luge, ski moguls, etc.) and cheer for team Canada because I am proud to be Canadian and I want Canada to win many medals. I don’t think my mom would allow me to play in any winter Olympic sports because they are too dangerous, although if I did, I would love to compete in curling and in ski moguls. I have dreamt of playing in the summer Olympics, on the soccer team. I can just imagine how proud my mom and dad, along with all of Canada would be if I won a gold medal. #Olympicdreams
ReplyDeleteI have never dreamed of being in the olympics but a lot of people ask me if I want to because I do gymnastics.I do not watch the olympics so i won’t be watching them but i am cheering for Canada. If i would compete in a winter sport i would do snowboarding because I already know how to.
