What do you know about the 2024 Olympic Games? Do you know what sports are making their debut this year? Which sports will we be able to watch Brazil playing? No? Don’t worry about it! We will update you about everything!

This will be the thirtieth edition of the Olympic Games and it will be located in Paris. There are two new sports this year: slalom canoeing and breakdancing. We still can’t say for sure which sports that our country is going to participate in, as some of them are still in the qualifying period. However, we already know that in slalom canoeing we will be able to cheer for Brazil and there is a good chance that we qualify in breakdancing too.

An interesting fact about the Olympics is that 32 sports will be played in this year’s edition. And also, in the history of the competition, the USA is the leader with 2636 medals in total, counting gold, silver and bronze. The second place is the URSS, even not participating since 1988, with 1010 medals in total, and the UK comes in third place with 960 medals.

In my opinion, the Olympic Games is the best competition in the world, because it gets all the best sports taking place at the same time. For me, most of them are really boring to watch, but there are a lot that are really cool, even not being the ones that I like practicing, like swimming or volleyball. Besides, the Olympics is also an awesome opportunity for us to get to know different sports or learn more about them.

So, my conclusion about the Olympics is that it is really worth the 19 days of competition. You can watch with your family, friends, discover new sports, or just start to follow some other ones more frequently. It is also an amazing experience to those who are there in person, and you can also work as a volunteer until you are 60. So, after the end of the Games, tell me more about your experience and favorite sports.
