Writing Prompt—Olympic Spirit
Did you thoroughly enjoy the Beijing Olympics? Or did you tire of hearing about them? What would happen if athletes were awarded something rather than gold, silver, or bronze medals? Did Michael Phelps deserve a platinum medal? Do you prefer swimmers’, gymnasts’, or long-distance runners’ body types? Why do commentators ask athletes about what went wrong even when they win a gold medal? Write about which sport would be yours if only you had the discipline to train for six hours a day. How about the uniforms? We know your name isn’t Speedo or Nike, but how would you redesign them? Or did you simply love the judges’ blue jackets?
