The Winter Olympics is an amazing event where all kinds of countries of the world can gather in an atmosphere in which each country has the opportunity to prove that their homeland is the best.
This year, the games take place in South Korea. Due to this many people have actually been giving away their tickets. This includes doing things like giving information to radio stations where they can give their tickets away. Many people say that it is because of the below freezing temperatures, as others say it is due to nearby conflict.
Speaking of conflict, there has been a good bit of conflict between countries. One prime example is that Russia had some issues with some team members. They were involved with a deal concerning drugs. Due to this, they had to get a new team last minute, which caused a major loss of some of their best members. Those who joined and those few who remained had to also represent their country nameless where they would then be called Russia Player 1 and etc. More drama also took place with countries like North and South Korea had to actually unite their women’s hockey teams.
What will and has taken place? Sports such as skiing, snowboarding, figure-skating, hockey and so many more will be taking place. We already have a win by Shaun White from men’s snowboarding on a half-pipe and can’t wait to see what other gold team America can bring home.
In conclusion, the Winter Olympics unites countries, causes and is filled with drama, it’s full of amazing events, presents a chance to prove your country is the best, and most importantly this year has plenty of empty seats from the freezing weather.
