Memorable Moment
Team Pursuit this Olympics was Amazing! In Mens Team Pursuit Canada Beat the USA By only 21, 100ths of a second. The race was amazing to watch after all of the other races with Canada and the USA winning every time. In the end Canada overcame the USA and took The Gold, with USA took Sillver and, Norway took third.

*Lights Will Guide You Home*
I watched a video called Lights Will Guide You and it showed alot of different torch runs, how the torch was carried and, how the torch at the Olympics was lit. The backround music was ''Lights Will Guide You Home'' by Coldplay. I think it was great how it showed all the ways the torch was carried. Here are some examples skiing, snowboarding and I liked it when the person was carrying the torch underwater and was swimming with it. It's also been transported by train, boat and, airplane. I liked how it showed the torch being lit at the Olympics. My favorite was when they lit it with a flare gun. I bet all the athletes have a great time.
Olympic Symbols
I chose this design because I liked the idea of the rings so I arranged them in a circle. There is a giant orange and red ring around it because the rings inside were in a circle. I chose orange and red because of the torch flames. I chose an inukshuk and mountains because the Olympics are in BC and I chose medals and a podium because of the Olympics.

The Olympic Rings
Did you know? The modern Olympics founder Pierre de Coubertin was on a trip in Greece and saw a symbol of five interlocking rings and thought it would be the perfect symbol for the Olympics. The five rings resemble the five continenets and one of the five colors black,blue,red,green and yellow are somewhere on each of the continents flags.
