Hi, here's
Pedro Dantas and Caio Gabriel and in this post we're going to talk about eight
sports of the Olympics!
Track
Cycling: What to expect from a bicycle without brakes? The track cycling
athletes take seriously the child's play to ride a bike and can exceed 80 km /
h. Cyclists use a lycra outfit with extremely smooth surface and aerodynamic
helmet, which gives the right race futuristic air. High technology, moreover,
it is another feature of the subject: the handlebars and the frame bikes wheels
are made of carbon fiber, and the tires are filled to a pressure three times
higher than that of a common bicycle. All for milliseconds less.
·
Weight
lifting: Who is the strongest person in the world? The question that seems
taken from a superhero movie, is answered in real life and at the expense of a
lot of sweat in the final of the Olympic weight lifting. The sum of the two
races of the competition up, when the bar is raised directly from the floor
to above the head; and
pitch, when the bar is raised first, to shoulder height and then on the head
the athletes support up to three times your body weight. In the men's
tournament, the heaviest category is for up to 105kg athletes: be careful when
trying to greet them with a handshake.
·
Synchronized
swimming: Watch sport is like witnessing a spectacle. In addition to the
soundtrack that accompanies the movements and makes it necessary to install
speakers in the pool, so that athletes maintain choreography even when
submerged women need to be clean! The makeup is waterproof and the hairstyle
is set with gelatin. Bikinis are banned, bathing suits are required and
athletes can use nasal guard a charming one.
Athletics:
In the Rio 2016 Games, the fastest man in the world is perfectly attainable.
The public can see Usain Bolt playing the qualifiers Athletics for only $ 100.
And the Jamaican star comes to the Olympic Games willing to carry out an
unprecedented "tripletriple": win gold medals for the third time in
a row in the same three tests (100m , 200m and 4x100m relay). Expectation
history made in Rio.
Equestrian
jumping: Horses running and jumping over small lakes, low walls and bars. What
you used to see in the cowboy movies and will also see live and without special
effects, championship equestrian jumps. Animal and rider must maintain balance
all the way, and with every missing (for example, putting his paws in the water
or run away) they lose points. In the end, all that add fewer points gets the
"sissy" in this case the gold medal. Get ready to hold your
breath on every obstacle!
Handball:
1, 2, 3, 10, 30... In handball the score is not like this, with dozens and
dozens of goals for each team. Since players can only hold the ball for up to
three seconds, the pace is intense throughout the onehour match. Moreover, the
audience is rooting for Brazilian women in 2016, you can see on the court the
world's best player in 2014, Duda Amorim. Handball is also our thing.
Modern
Pentathlon: The sport that requires multiple skills gathering evidence
fencing, swimming, riding, running and shooting the Brazilian fans have a
home athlete who focus their chips: Yane Marques, from Pernambuco. After
significant titles (including gold at the Pan 2007), she won bronze at London
2012 and became the only Olympic medalist in the sport throughout the southern
hemisphere. High chance of the Brazilian flag on the podium.
Golf:
2016 marks the return of the sport to the Olympics after more than a century,
giving the competition a special importance. In addition, the installation of
the Olympic Golf Center will allow the public to watch just a few meters away
to shots of the biggest names in the sport, as the Irish Rory McIlroy,
currently No. 1 in the world ranking. Viewers can follow on foot the circuit as
the holes advance.
