I love the Olympics. It really is a unique and special world occasion 1. There’s only one event in the world better than the Olympics, and that’s the Football World Cup. Anyway, the Olympics really is a celebration 2 of humanity 3. The whole world watches and gets excited. We love watching our heroes trying to win gold. I don’t usually get excited about seeing my country’s flag, but at the Olympics, I love it. I think the Olympics were better many years ago. Then, they had traditional Olympic sports.

Maybe I’ll be lucky and get a chance to see the London games in 2012.
