Olympic flag



There are five interlocking rings, also the Olympic flag.
The five colours of the rings are blue, green, yellow,  black, red with a white background.
Did you know that the rings represent five parts of the world joined together in the Olympic movement?
Africa, The Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe are the continents for the Olympic.
Baron Pierre designed the Olympic flag from 1913 to 1914.

Taekwondo


The Olympic event I am doing is Taekwondo. Taekwondo is a traditional Korean martial art.  

This is how you play Taekwondo. The only way to attack is to kick them and your arms are for blocking. The way to win Taekwondo is by knocking out your opponent.

Taekwondo was invented 50 BC by the Silla Dynasty warriors  in Korea.
Taekwondo stared in the Olympics in 1988.

The equipment you need is a belt, trunk protector, dobok, forearm and shin guards, head protector, also a groin guard.

Taekwondo is played in a court. The court is 8x8 big.
