o7 We asked students at TeWinkle Middle School: Which Olympic event

do you plan to watch and why?f7

Soccer probably, because there’s this one girl -- I forget her first

name but her last is Hamm -- and she’s really good. She’s the second best

in the world.

AMANDA SLAYBAUGH, 11

I’m going to watch track and field -- mainly the sprints, high jump

and triple jump -- because I went to track camp. I want to watch

swimming, too; I want to watch Amanda Beard because my mom knows her.

TREVOR McDONALD, 11

Gymnastics, because I’m in gymnastics and I’m state champion.

VANES RICHARDSON, 11

Ice skating, because I like to watch all the different tricks and

spins they can do.

TAYLOR BROWNE, 11

Swimming, because I like to be independent a lot and swimming is my

thing and I’m really good at it.
