Writing about how the Olympics came to be

Introduction - What are the Olympics? What are you going to explain?  

What are the Olympics? What do you do at the Olympics? When Did it start? If you don’t know what the Olympics are keep reading and you’ll find out.

Info - Paragraph one - What is the main piece of information about how the  Olympics began? The first ever Olympic games started in April the 6th 1896. In 1896 married women were banned from watching or participating in the Olympics, but unmarried women were allowed to attend the competition. I think that women were not allowed to compete in the Olympics because they had their own games which was called the Hera games. The Hera games started in the 6th century where they competed dressed. I also think that because the men were pretty much naked as they were participating in the Olympics, it would have been uncomfortable for the women to participate in the Olympics while they were naked or half naked like the men.

Info - Paragraph two - What is a second piece of info about the starting of the Olympics? 4 years later after the Olympics started, women were finally allowed to compete in the Olympics which took place in Paris France . That year was the ever year women were allowed to compete in the Olympics but only 22 women competed with a total of 997 athletes. The 22 women that competed participated in 5 sports which was Tennis, Sailing, Croquet, Equestrianism and Golf.

Info - Paragraph three - What is the third piece of info about the starting of the Olympics? Do you know who Dimitrios Loundras is?

Dimitrios Loundras was confirmed that he was the youngest Olympic medalist who competed in the 1896 Athens Olympics. He was only 10 years old when he received a bronze medal in a team event on April the 9th 1896. But if you discount the young coxain who won gold in 1900 Dimitrios Loundras was still confirmed to compete in the Olympics.

Conclusion - The conclusion sums up all the ideas and repeats a key message to end.  This could be a recommendation or a personal connection. If you didn’t know there is an Olympics in Rio this year ( 2016 ) I think the Olympic games are a great sporting event because it’s great that once in every 4 years the Olympics is held somewhere and we get to learn about the different countries and how good they are are sports and that encourages people to be nice and fit as they grow up.
