My thought was that this book taught and told me all about sports,like fast runners and even more things.Exercises and learn the things that the Olympics have done. So, like high jumping and even more.The whole book was non-fiction because it told me every thing that we can do it’s not imaginary it’s real.I was interested in this book because it told me all about the Olympics that have that won the gold medal silver medal or bronze medal so I can practice them and also do it. I would recommend it to all of my friends and many other people. This book was really good, I appreciate it so now it’s the best book I’ve read from.

I thought it was a great book the fact that intrested me most that one of the main balancing things was behind your ear! Anyone who loved sport would enjoy it.

I really like this book because it has got all the facts about sport and goes deep into the facts. It is basically a horrible history book about sport. I would say this a 6+ book because there is some difficult words in it.

This was a great book that taught me a lot about the Olympics and what it is. It had many sections of different Olympic events. It also had lots of incredible people in sport. It was very interesting because it featured a drill for every event so it might help to keep fit and healthy. I would recommend it to any young budding Olympian.
