About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Restrictions: None
That Athlete Thing
Prompt:
If you were an Olympic Athlete, which event would you be in?


----------

None, because I could or would never be an athlete to begin with. In fact, I get tired when I walk from one end of my house to the other, more than ten times. Then, I don't like the idea of any kind of a competition at all, where someone loses.

Also at this stage in my life, I'm not too much into Olympics, especially this year, because it is made to become a political side-taking instead of a friendly competition.

Since the prompt question of today has to do with the Olympics, here are a few facts about them.

*Bullet* The first Olympic games were hosted in Olympia, Greece, in 776 BC.
*Bullet* The first modern Olympic games tool place in 1896, which included 9 sports.
*Bullet* These are the colors of the Olympic rings: Blue, yellow, black, green and red. They represent the five inhabited parts of the world.
*Bullet* So far, 23 countries hosted the Olympics. This year is Paris's third time.
*Bullet* The IOC (International Olympic Committee) organizes the the Olympic games. IOC's headquarters is located in Lausanne.

I guess this should do it for me, today.
