Three, two, one... Goooooooo! It isn't the beginning of a race, but it's the beginning of a trip around Athens and Pireus for asking to the people something about that big and famous event like Olympic games. We are very excited also because it's our first time and, with a bit of energy,and with a bottle of water in the hand. What do you know about Olympic games? What's your favourite sport? Do you think your country is prepared to the Olympic games? Are you happy that there will be Olympic games here? Why? Do you think you will come here for the Olympic games? What's your favourite athlete? A boy,11 years old who lives in Greece answers: "I know that Olympic games where born here, in this Country, but there weren't only sports but also another religious ceremonies.I think that all greek people are happy for this big event but I don't know if my Country is prepared". Two boys, 14 years old, who live and study in the Pireus, answer: "We know that Olympic games were born in Greece in ancient time. Our favorite sport is canoe and we think that the best Greek athlet is Kenderis. We are anxious to watch the Olympic games not only on TV but also live". A girl, 21 years old. She is in Greece on summer Holidays and answers: "In Italy we have a lot of good athletes but I'd like to remember in particular Yury Chechi and Fiona May.
