I abhor running! lol I could never run a marathon which is a long distance race with a distance of approximately 26 miles.
I don't like running either! It always makes my knees hurt. I would much rather ride a bike.
I'd rather just lie in a beach chair! lol The marathon was actually one of the original modern Olympic events in 1896.
Wow, it's been going on for a while. I've been kind of interested in going to the Tokyo Event.
I didn't realize the next games were in Tokyo. They are thought of as the world's foremost sporting competition. Over 200 nationals typically compete in these events.
200 nations is a lot of countries. I wonder who doesn't go, lol. Yeah I love going to Japan. Maybe they will do better than the last several host.
What is your favorite event? The Olympics are held every 4 years with an alternating schedule of summer and winter with a 2 year separation.
I always like to watch the gymnastics, but my family has always been super interested in the swimming events.
My favorite event is women's gymnastics. The creation of the ancient Olympic games began in the 8th century BC and they were held in Olympia, Greece. I bet they looked a lot different then! lol
Yeah I heard they were started by the greeks and that only men competed and they competed without clothes.
