Olympics in the Land of Art and Music
The Winter Olympics have begun! The opening ceremony was on Friday night, and it was full of color and music! It gave the world a taste of Italian culture. Classical statues started to move and dance. A beautiful actress walked along followed by paparazzi just like in the movie “La Dolce Vita.” Then, three big heads appeared. They were Verdi, Puccini, and Rossini, the three great composers of Italian opera. After that, the real stars of the Olympics came out. Athletes from over 90 different countries took part in parades at four sites around northern Italy. Everybody was excited. On Saturday, Japan got off to a great start with a gold and a silver medal in the men’s snowboard big air and a bronze medal in the women’s normal hill ski jumping.
