The Winter Olympics, being the 21st Winter Olympics, are being held in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Canada. It will kick off tonight on live television! This will be the 3rd Winter Olypics being hosted by Canada. The total cost of this athletic festival is close to 6 million dollars! About $600 million will go directly to the sports.
The Olympics first originated in Greece. The winners didn't earn a gold, silver, or bronze metal. Instead, they earned an Olive Wreath, which was an olive brach that symbolized peace. Also, the only sport that used to be in the Olympics were only racing. Now there's all kinds of sports ranging from snowboarding to basketball to boxing to bobsledding.
So if you're not doing anything tonight, tune into the Winter Olympics!
GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
