Interviews of Summer and Winter Olympics

In this entry you can see two interviews about the Winter Olympics and one about the Summer Olympics. You will see the point of view of different people we interviewed.


WINTER INTERVIEWS
Interview to Diana Iturralde

1. Do you think that Winter Olympics should be done? Why or Why not?
Yes, because it is entertaining. There aren’t usually many sport events around this time of the year around the world and this is a good encouragement for people to still be active. I don’t see a reason why not to have Winter Olympics.

2. Many people complain because not all countries can attend the Winter Olympics because of their weather conditions. Do you think this is a good argument to stop doing the winter games?
No. Although your country may not be participating, I think Winter Olympics are still really fun to watch and learn about these sports too. It is good that at least other countries have the initiative to do it.

3. What would you prefer: attend a Winter Olympic or a Summer Olympic? Why?
In my opinion, Summer Olympics are more fun than Winter Olympics and I would love to attend to one. But I am also curious about Winter Olympics and I think it would be really fun and a different experience to attend to them too, even though I don’t love winter weather.

4. Do you know something about the Winter Olympics?
Not a lot and that is why I am curious about it and would like to know more.

Interview to George McConnell
1. Do you think that Winter Olympics should be done? Why or Why not?
Yes, Winter Olympics should be held because it allows for a wide variety of winter time sports to be performed.

2. Many people complain because not all countries can attend the Winter Olympics because of their weather conditions. Do you think this is a good argument to stop doing the winter games?
This is a poor argument because technology now exists that can allow these weather challenged countries to find other ways to train for these specific events. Also, where there is a will there is a way most definitely applies to this. Look at the Jamaicans and their bobsled team.

3. What would you prefer, attend a Winter Olympic or a Summer Olympic? Why?
I would prefer to attend both the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics. I would watch events at both competitions. If I were to attend as an athlete I’d probably prefer Summer Olympics only because I’d compete in running or crew.

4. Do you know something about the Winter Olympics? If so, what?
Yes... I know that the Winter Olympics are held every four years, but that they are held two years after the Summer Olympics or two years before the Summer Olympics.

SUMMER INTERVIEW
Interview to Stephen Watkins
1. Which do you like better winter or summer Olympics?
I enjoy the summer Olympics more than the winter Olympics.

2. Do you play any sports that are played in the summer Olympics?
Yes, I play soccer, basketball and volleyball.

3. What sports do you like to watch other than the ones you practice?
I really like to watch ping-pong, shooting and running because they are exiting.

4. Do you think winter Olympics should be eliminated since not every country is able to participate?
Yes because not every country in the world can participate and it is supposed to be a worldwide event.

5. Do you think that any sports should be added to the summer Olympics?
Yes, traditional sports like golf and rugby.
