Conclusion

Hello, now we have come to the conclusion the last post. From my finding, I found that there are a lot of people that did not know about the existance of the Winter Olympic Game. The sports that been play in the Summer Olympic Game is more famous sports than that been play in the Winter Olympic, and the athletes that born from the Summer Olympic is more well known than the athletes from the Winter Olympic. As for me, I also did know much about Winter Olympic. But after I write about this topic, I have gains many new knowledge and I hope all of the readers to can gain knowledge form my writing. Thanks

The most memorable Olympic opening ceremonies




For my perspective, the most memorable opening ceremony is the London 2012 summer Olympic Game it is also my favourite. Yes, maybe it is not the same as the one you like beccause you have your own perspective. In this opening ceremonies Daniel Craig reprises his role as British secret agent James Bond as he accompanies Her Majesty The Queen to the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.The Ceremony also featured appearances from Mr. Bean, Monty Python and a re-imagining of the British Industrial Revolution. The Summer Games happened and then a concert broke out. If you weren't sure of all the great musicians that have come from Britain, this "Inspire a Generation" theme at the Summer Games made sure you did by the end of it. It felt more like a royal get-together with the likes of Mr. Bean, Daniel Craig and Queen Elizabeth, especially when the ceremony paid homage to way the British have cemented themselves into pop culture playing music by The Who, the Rolling Stones and Queen, just name a few.
