The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games – Day 2 – Highlights

Hello everyone!!! Following on from yesterday’s events, today has been a really good day for all of us, because more medals were won, and there were some funny takes on some athletes who slightly lost the grip in the snowboard slopestyle event.

To start, our GBR athlete Jenny Jones won a bronze in the snowboard event, while other athletes competing for countries such as Sweden, Austria and many more countries came out on top, this day has been great for all of us around the world, and will get even better as these next 2 weeks fly by. All these events have been great so far.

With some of the clips that the BBC presented on TV earlier today, some of the clips you could say were amusing as they showed all of us the funny bits that went wrong for some athletes, while other athletes gave it all they got.

These next 2 weeks will be full of determination and every country is willing to give it their all and aim for the highest amount of medals for this year’s Winter Olympic Games. We can all expect up’s and down’s from the Winter Olympic Games, but the best possible option to think about is knowing that all of us as a whole worldwide can re-live the Olympic spirit and enjoy a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and experience the Olympic dream.

Today’s current medal results are:

Norway: 2 Gold, 1 Silver, 4 Bronze = 7 Medals

Netherlands: 2 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze = 4 Medals

United States: 2 Gold, 0 Silver, 2 Bronze = 4 Medals

Canada: 1 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze = 4 Medals

Russian Federation: 1 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze = 4 Medals

Austria: 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 0 Bronze = 2 Medals

Germany: 1 Gold, 0 Silver, 0 Bronze = 1 Medal

Poland: 1 Gold, 0 Silver, 0 Bronze = 1 Medal

Slovakia: 1 Gold, 0 Silver, 0 Bronze = 1 Medal

Switzerland: 1 Gold, 0 Silver, 0 Bronze = 1 Medal

Sweden: 0 Gold, 2 Silver, 0 Bronze = 2 Medals

Czech Republic: 0 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze = 2 Medals

Italy: 0 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze = 2 Medals

Finland: 0 Gold, 1 Silver, 0 Bronze = 1 Medal

Slovenia: 0 Gold, 1 Silver, 0 Bronze = 1 Medal

Great Britain: 0 Gold, 0 Silver, 1 Bronze = 1 Medal

Ukraine: 0 Gold, 0 Silver, 1 Bronze = 1 Medal

To conclude, the medal table results from today’s events have been great so far, and will hopefully get better, so these results should be a lot better tomorrow, and should hopefully get better and better over the next 2 weeks.

Thank you for reading this blog post.

“Don’t let anyone in the world tell you that you’re ready for anything. Tell the world that you are ready to do the things what you want to do in life on your own terms, and not on anyone else’s terms.” – Alex Smithson

“In life, we all have to make sacrifices in order to become better at certain things we weren’t better at before, and by making sacrifices, this will make us all become stronger in ourselves, all of us will also believe in ourselves more for the sacrifices we’ve made, and at the end, all of the hard work and effort will pay off. Make sacrifices to make ends meet, and also make sacrifices so that all of the hard work and effort you’ve made pays dividends.” – Alex Smithson

“Define yourself as someone who has the energy to reach their potential and become the best at something.

Don’t define yourself to look like you’ve got no potential. Define yourself to show everyone what you can do, and not the other way around.

Don’t let anyone define you and make you into something that makes you look like the bad character. Define yourself as a good character, and go and strive for every opportunity that’s available.

Take a chance, make a change, and do the things you want to do, all for the right reasons.” – Alex Smithson

“Don’t hate yourself. Love yourself and be strong for yourself. Don’t let anyone bring you down. Ride through the pain and you’ll get through it with strength, determination and courage.

“Lifelines are thrown at us to help us get stronger at what we do.
Make the most of every opportunity wisely and make those opportunities you get worth your while.
Go for every opportunity available now whilst you still can, because they might never come around again in your life.” – Alex Smithson
