Hello students,
Here we are again starting this new year with a lot of illusion and expectations.
I think we can remember the Olympic Games which were held in London in August. Did you see them on TV? Spain won sixteen medals and another twenty in the Paralympic Games.
Usain Bolt won several medals for Jamaica and Michael Phelps retired in these games but he broke the record of gold medals that had been in the possesion of another famous American swimmer: Mark Spitz.
Well, we saw many exciting moments and enjoyed the variety of people who took part in so many sports.
London was a perfect place for the marathon and it looked really gorgeous.
Let's watch some videos to review these wonderful events.

GRAND NATIONAL 2012
Last Saturday the famous Grand National Horse Race took place in England. The Grand National is a race where horses run for more than seven kilometres jumping big walls.
The race is held in Aintree, a village near Liverpool. It is a very important event and many people watch it all over the world. People in Great Britain like it not only for the amazing view of the horses, but because they can bet for the winner and they can win a lot of money. Nowadays with Internet you can easily bet online.
The bad part of the race is that an average of two horses die every year. This time it was not different. Unfortunately, the race is very hard and two horses broke their legs. Afterwards, these horses were killed.
There have been many writings against the danger of this race and probably there will be changes in the future.
Here you have a video about the two dead horses. I hope you like it, though it is very sad. And there are two pictures. One of the winner of the race and other of the elegant people who go to the race.

There is always a performance of a famous singer between the two parts, and this year Madonna has been the star. Here you have a video to see her. She promised to be a good girl, so she wasn't very provocative this time.The sound is not very good, but you can see the amazing dances and lights.
