Soon figure skating - team event will e held soon.

Finally the Sochi Olympics has started!

I'm very looking forward to watching the opening ceremony!!

The Sochi Olympics will start soon!

The Sochi Olympics will start in a week!

The athletes we Japanese expect to get a medal are;

Most of all, a ski jumper, Sara Takanashi.

She has shown outstanding performances in the World Cup.

She is still 17 years old.
When she stands on podiums, she looks as if she was an elementary school student?!

We also expect figure skaters to get a medal.
Especially, Mao Asada and Yuzuru Hanyu can get a gold medal.

Personally, I hope Noriaki Kasai wins a gold medal.
He is a 41 year-old ski jumper. He is a great jumper but he never has win a gold medal. Actually he almost secured a gold medal in the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, but one of the other team members failed his jump terribly, and they ended up silver medals.
Since then, Kasai has stuck to win a gold medal. I think that's why he doesn't retire even though he is 41 years old.

The Organizing Committee was launced.

The Organizing Committee was set up on 24th January.

Former Prime Minister, Mori was assigned to the head of the committee.
Boo--------!!!!!
