I love the Olympic Games! My favourite sporting event is the 100-metre race. The runners go very fast, it's exciting to watch! My second favourite sporting event is (the) swimming because I enjoy this sport. The swimmers are very impressive. During the race, I cheer on the athletes. And I find it very moving when the winners receive their medals. This year, I am going to watch the Games with my family. We're going to have fun!
