Everyone knows every four years the summer Olympics come around. I love watching all the forty-two sports, if i have time to. My favorite sports i try to make time for are the artistic gymnastics, trampoline gymnastics, swimming, basketball, soccer, track, beach volleyball, water polo, and tennis.
Simone Biles, from the United States of America, medaled fourteen times. She won three consecutive titles as an individual, three gold for her floor routines, two on the uneven bars, and two from the team medals. Aly Raisman was from Needham, MA. She was the all around silver medalist. She was also the floor exercise silver medalist. Gabby Douglas is probably most named women in artistic gymnastics. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, she did not win any medals. She was still very supportive of her teammates that did. That's all that matters. Yes, she is a great gymnast, she still gave it her all and did not envy those who did better. Madison Kocian was only nineteen years old, from Dallas, Texas. Her best event as a gymnast, was uneven bars. She did get a silver medal on that event. For the trampoline gymnastics, Logan Dooley, a male, competed in the Rio Olympics but did not win the United States any kind of medal.
The fastest man in the world is from Jamaica. He is THE Usain St. Leo Bolt. We know him as just Bolt. He is a sprinter, who is the first man to hold both the one-hundred and two-hundred meters world record. He does not just run those events either. He also runs the four by one relay. Which is each person from his team runs one-hundred meters. Bolt is mostly known for the one-hundred and two-hundred meter sprints though. He is over six foot and weighs two-hundred and nine pounds. Bolt has six medals. Bolt said he was done running in the olympics. In all honesty, I think in year of 2020, he will be back and ready to get more gold medals. I believe that because Bolt likes to compete. Therefore be back for more medals. The Olympics are so very exciting to watch.
