The Olympics Project

The summer Olympics were due to be held this summer in Tokyo however due to the COVID-19 pandemic they have been postponed until next summer. I would like you to find out about the Olympics past and present.

Things you could do –

• How many sports are there in the Olympics? Can you list them A-Z?
