5 Olympics Games that I like:
Fencing
- there are three type of fencing which is epee, foil and sabre.
- this sport is quite expensive on a competitive level
- but for the beginner start out is quite low
- scoring is done differently in the three variants of fencing
- Sun Yi Wen (China-gold medal for women's Epee individual)
Handball
- two team compete with 6 court player and 1 goalkeeper each team
- it is similar with football where the aim of this game is to shot a goal into the opponent's goal but this game is using HAND
- players can hold the ball maximum of three second and can take up to three steps while holding the ball
- ROC team (silver for women match)
Golf
- players use various clubs (hit trick) to hit balls into a series of holes on a course is as few strokes as possible
- the game at the usual level is played on a course with an arranged progression of 18 holes
- Kelly Tan and Gavin Green (Malaysian Golf player)
Athletics (pole vault)
- athlete jumps over an obstacle with the aid of a pole
- each vaulter is given three chances to clear a specified height
- the pole is originally made by bamboos, but through out the year it became more unique, made by glass fiber
- Armand Duplantis (Sweden-gold medal)
Artistic swimming (synchronized swimming)
- it is a hybrid form of swimming, dance and gymnastic that elaborate moves in water
- there are solo, duo, trio, mixed duet, free combination, free team and highlight
- competitors show off their strength, flexibility, aerobic and synchronization
- ROC free team (gold medal)
