Chariots of Fire: An Olympic Dream Review

posted by deedragongirl

Hurray for the UK!

Hi guys, I can't believe that it's been 14 years since watching this film. Are tu ready?

The Story

Like the Hungarian 2006 film, Children of Glory. This film explores about a real athlete name Harold Abrahams who could not participate in the Olympics because it happens to coincide with the Sabbath as he is Jewish.
I was really touch por this film because Abrahams faces anti-Semitism during his universidad days, but both Harold and Eric would later become a team when training together, even becoming friends.

The Music

Yes, the legendary música por Vangelis brought me to this wonderful film. It was revived during the Londres 2012 Olympic Games, so kudos to Vangelis!

The Olympic Dreams

A short review on the legendary 1981 film and hope tu watch it, it teaches tu to be positive and never to give up on your dreams.

Run!

3. Moscow 1980

Despite that some countries did not participate due to the Soviet invasion of...

Don't Take Women's Hockey Out of the Olympics

posted by highlights74

Yesterday I heard that the people who put the Olympics together were trying to stop Women's hockey from being in the Winter Olympics. I am a huge fan of hockey and a player myself (woman player), and I for one think that it is wrong to do that.

It is dicho that they are making the sport unofficial because there isn't enough competition. Just because Canada won 18-0 and 10-1, doesn't necessarily mean that there is no competition, but that maybe we are just a good team, o the teams we faced weren't as good as us.

Every sport should have a men's and women's team. I have always dreamed of going into...
