In the weekend the Olympics started in Rio, the first Olympic Games in South America ever. I will be talking about what sport I watched, did I learn something about that sport or was I an expert and who got onto the podium.
The sport I watched at the Olympics was the Air Rifle 10m Woman's. I didn't even know it was on the TV so it was a coincidence.
There wasn't much excitement to it but it was cool just watching how good they were at the sport and who would win.
I was definitely not an expert on the sport but I did learn a handful of things I didn't know.
The first thing I learnt was that I didn't realise they shot inside but then it would be fine because the bullet is really small. Another one is that they wear lots of gear to stop them from getting distracted like wearing ear plugs, plastic flaps over one eye and a cap. Also the air rifle is very different than mine, the ones they use are very light weight and odd looking but very sophisticated.
The people who got on the podium were two Chinese and an American. Yi Siling won bronze with a total score of 185.4. Du Li won silver with a total score of 207. And the winner was Virginia Thrasher from America with a total score of 208.
That is my blog post for this week. Come back soon for another blog post:)
Cool post I think the sport is pretty cool too
ReplyDeleteI agree Ben but I personally think that the colour of the writing should change because it is a bit hard - ish for me to read
