Olympic Games    

The world's greatest international sports games are known as the Olympic Games.

The Olympic idea means friendship, fraternity and cooperation among the people of the world.

The Olympic emblem is five interlinked rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red. 

The original Olympic Games began in ancient Greece in 776 B.C.

Winners were called “olympionics”, they were awarded olive wreaths and cups of olive oil.

The Olympic Games are considered to be the biggest international sports games.

There are two types of Olympic Games: Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics.

All those combatants laid down their weapons during the Olympic Games, and sometimes even after the Games' closing.

I lake the Olympik Games.They are very interesting and exciting sport competitions.

 

 

Олимпийские игры

Самые известные в мире спортивные игры — Олимпийские.

Идея игр — дружба, братство и согласие народов мира.

Олимпийская эмблема — пять переплетенных колец: голубое, желтое, черное, зеленое и красное.

В первый раз Олимпийские игры были проведены в Древней Греции в 776 году до н. э.

Победителей называли “олимпиониками”, их награждали венками из оливкового дерева и кубками с оливковым маслом.

Олимпийские игры являются самыми крупными международными спортивными играми.

Существует два вида Олимпийских игр: Летние игры и Зимние игры.

Во время проведения Олимпийских игр, а иногда и после их окончания все воины складывали свое оружие.

        Мне нравятся Олимпийские Игры.Это очень интересные и увлекательные соревнования.
