On February 7th the winter olympic games in Sochi sarted with a lovely
opening ceremony.
Sochi is
a town in Russia where
usually the russians pass summer holidays, as it is one of the warmest places
in Russia, directly near the
Black Sea, but there are also high mountains in
the area and it snows in winter.
They did a magnific show with dancers on rollerblades, ballet, artistic performances, all the time with special illumination,
large helium inflated elements representing russian buildings, landscapres
floating through the air.
The tree mascots were presented, a big bear, a
beautiful white rabbit and a leopard, all of them moving by remote control.
Then all the participating athletes entered the
stadium, each nation carrying a flag of its country. In the end the Olympic
torch was brought by an athlete and they lighted the Olympic fire, which kept
burning during the 2 weeks of the games. Afterwards a magnificent firework
finished the opening ceremony.
I like Olympic games and saw some of the sport. I
prefer sky racing and especially the new competitions with snow boards and
jumping. Others as for example curling I find a bit boring.
