Question

3 Describe the picture using the words:

sportsman, run, Olympic flame, red, yellow, Greece, home of Olympics, symbol, important

Answer 1

The birthplace of the Olympic Games is the ancient Greece. Modern games differ from the ancients with less fierce rules in relation to athletes. This year, as far as I know, they are held in Pyeongchang. The Olympic flame symbolizes purity, an attempt at improvement and a struggle for victory, as well as peace and friendship, and the rings symbolize the union (unity) of the five parts of the world and the worldwide character of the Olympic Games. ... Until 1951, the official directory claimed that the colors of the rings correspond to different parts of the world: Europe - blue, Asia - yellow, Africa - black, Australia - green and America - red. My favorite Olympic sport is running.
