It doesn’t only come down to speed and stamina anymore, communication and cooperation are of the utmost importance. In the ladies’ event Japan and the Netherlands are the ones to watch and in the men’s event New Zealand are aiming for a historical first ever Speed Skating medal and the second medal in total for their nation at the Olympic Games. Whereas the four fastest teams from the quarter finals advanced to the semis, the event will continue as a knock-out competition in the next phase. The winners of the semifinals will race in the gold-medal race and the losers of the semifinals in the bronze-medal race. Individual speed versus team tactics The Dutch ladies won four of the five individual Speed Skating events so far, they skated an Olympic record in the quarterfinals and they will be defending their Sochi 2014 title, but they are no clear-cut favorites for the gold medal at PyeongChang 2018. Japan won nine of the last 11 World Cup races in this event, including each of the last six, and they hammered out a new world record in 2:50.87 at the Salt Lake City World Cup in December.

The Brave Writer Guide to the 2018 Winter Olympics!

Welcome to the Brave Writer Guide to the 2018 Winter Olympics! The XXIII Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea kick off with the Opening Ceremonies on Friday, February 9, and continue through Sunday, February 25. As you explore the ideas in this guide, we’d love to see your Olympic creativity at work! If you’re incorporating the Olympics into your homeschool, post photos on social media with the hashtag #2018bwl so we can share in the fun! Let the games begin! ©Julie Bogart 2018 Writing Ideas ● “If I were an Olympic athlete…” ● If you could participate in an Olympic event, which one would you choose and why? ● Chose a sport and write an acrostic poem using the name of the sport or the name of the athlete competing. ● Write your own concrete poetry in the shape of Olympic symbols or sports equipment (like a hockey stick). ● Break the language barrier and use the Olympic pictograms to tell a story or write a poem (find the 2018 pictograms here and learn about the history of the pictograms at this link). ● Print and use winter sports equipment and winter illustrations to write a poem or story. ● Write entries for you own Pentathlon of the Muses. ● During the games, keep a list of Olympic words on a big piece of butcher paper—adding pictures or drawings, if you like (use those words in your writing). ● Make the Olympic mascot, Soohorang, a character in a story. You might even have him join previous Olympic mascots for an adventure! Poetry Teatime On the Table ● Construct Olympic Rings mini bagels.
