Olympic Charter

During my visit at the virtual museum, I learned a great many things about the Olympic Games. The reason behind choosing this topic, is that the Olympic Games continue today, even though they originally started many years ago; it fascinates me that we as human beings have kept the tradition of organized sports and athletic competitions for so long. Before I recant my experience, I would first like to give a little description on the museum that I chose. The website that I used is merely a…

things in sports journalism that I’m more comfortable with than a beat. My experience – primarily in college as a writer, then editor, of the Daily Bruin at UCLA – has been shaped by the beat system. UCLA’s strongest athletic teams are often the Olympic sports rather than football or men’s basketball, and the Daily Bruin is lucky to have a large enough staff to fully cover all of those teams. Since my first day in the Sports Department as a contributor on the men’s water polo beat, I’ve been…

unjustifiable and secluded prejudice aimed at intersex,1 (aka. hermaphrodite) athletes. More has to be done to done to bring equality to the intersex population, because singling them out isn't a good decision. The 2016 Rio Olympic Games were held this summer in Brazil. The Olympic games are the most prestigious events which any athlete can participate in. For that particular reason the sports spectacular requires over 400 rules and regulations in order for the entirety of the games to run…

What soccer player on the U.S team won olympic gold and the FIFA Women’s World Cup? If you said Alex Morgan, you are correct. Alex came to be the youngest player of the U.S women’s national soccer team in 2009. In 2011 she was the first chosen at the Women’s Professional soccer draft. In 2012 at the Summer Olympic Games, because she helped the U.S women’s team beat Japan, she received her first Olympic gold medal. Three years later, she defeated Japan, again, in order to win the FIFA Women’s…

The Olympics are majorly popular sports events, taking place every 2 years, where the world’s best athletes all come together in one set country and compete in a large number of athletic sports in order to win as many medals as possible. It all sounds enjoyable; however, these events are expensive, costing millions of dollars at a time, and all paid for by the host country. So, financially, it is not a good idea for us to be a host country. This is evident by proof of what happened to Athens…

then thought very highly of the victor. They were seen as the Greeks version of celebrities (Fox 2005, 67). When they returned to their city-states, they welcomed and rewarded in a victory parade, and many stories were told about them. However, an Olympic Victory was owed to the favour of the gods. They believed that the victor was their chosen, in which they helped win the legendary prize, and whose name would then be talked about for long after he was dead (Pentazou, Kakridis & Andronicos…

In eighth grade I had decided I wanted to swim competitively and run track within the same day. I would run with the track team after school, then go directly to swim practice, with the only rest in between the two was the thirty minute car ride over. As well as the only thing for me to eat was a builder's bar, or whatever my father had in his car. Competing in two sports a day wore me out and took a tool on my body. I was offered to swim with a lower class that was at a later time in the day,…

everyone else, such as driving, going out with their friends, having a normal sex life, having a girlfriend or a family. At the same time, one of the team members said that people do not know about the Paralympics and they confuse them with the Special Olympics. He stated, "We're not going for a hug, we're going for a gold medal.” It is frustrating for them when other people underestimated them and treat them like they have a mental…

Greece Olympics Today’s Olympics have changed a lot. The Olympics in Greece focused mainly on the gods. The greeks made sacrifices to the gods on the first and third day of the Olympic Games (“Ancient Olympics in Olympia Greece”). That is not how they focus today at all.

The athletes have changed as well, there are female athletes as well as male athletes in today's Olympics.…
