Let the Games begin...

There are only 177 days left until the Olympic Games in London begin. From 27th July to 12th August, athletes from 204 countries will show their qualities in 26 sports (which include 39 disciplines) and do whatever they can to win the gold medal.
Like every edition of the Olympics, a large amount of people are supporting their favourite athletes. Besides, every country has ‘their’ national sport, such as New Zealand which is famous for their incredible rugby qualities, and of course the ceremonial dance before the match, called Haka, is also pretty impressive. However, it is not easy to win the gold medal, because Australia and France are serious competitors. Take a look at the next video to see the Haka from the All Blacks, which is the Rugby team of New Zealand.

Table tennis, also known as ping pang qiu, is the most popular sport in China which has its strongest table tennis players. The competitors have a hard time coping with the extremely fast movements of the Chinese players.
We hope to see you back next week. Then we will talk about using drugs during the Olympic Games. Do not miss it!
