I’m interested in watching sports so I looked up how France has done in the Olympics and their Olympic history. Olympic Search SiteThis link is to an Olympic site. In the top left hand side you can input the year and location of the Olympics, the sport, and the specific event. I used this site to find how France has done in basketball in recent years. This past Olympics, France’s women team performed better in basketball than the mens team. France's Gold Medal Handball HighlightsThis link is for France’s handball finals highlights in the Olympics. I have never actually seen handball at all. That’s why I find the highlights of France’s gold medal that much more exciting. The sport seems interesting and getting gold in any event is impressive. This is a close victory for France that was very cool to watch the highlights of. France's Olympic HistoryThe link above will bring you to a shorter website about France’s Olympic history. The site also gives a couple of trivia facts about the country. One of the facts is very interesting. This fact is France has not missed a summer Olympics since the Olympics has begun. Only four other countries have done this task as well.

I have always liked to watch the Olympics so I really liked this project. It was cool to watch the sport called handball because we don't have that sport in America. It was also cool to read about the history of the Olympics. I really liked this project.

Holy cow, I would NOT want to be the goalie of a handball team!! That games gets intense, but those guys were so very excited to be gold medalists. Crazy action!! Thanks for the history of the French Olympians, too. I had no idea they were one of the original summer teams. Vive la France!!

I liked to watch the Olympics, but only in basketball. So from your topic i learned about the France team, and i didn't know they participated in these sports. Great websites and info.

The hand ball highlights were interesting to me because I don't know anything about handball. Some of the historical facts were also cool to learn.

I was excited when I saw that this project was based on the Olympics, because I really love watching the Olympics! The link to the video was cool! I'd never heard of handball so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be really neat! Great job!
