very special series all about the Olympic Games. The Lingo Kids'
friends have traveled to France. They are visiting Cowie's grand
mere that's French for grandmother, in a small town near
(00:26):
Paris called Osser. Everyone is very excited because one of
the biggest sporting events in the world is about to
take place in Paris, the twenty twenty four Olympic Games.
Let's join Lisa, Billy, Elliott, and Cowie at a special
festival in oss Are. Come on, or, as they say
(00:47):
in France, Alonzi Gridmire, Grid there on your monda Elly
come come as if you have but to be here
any minute? Is everyone here?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I think?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So let me check.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Lisa present Elliott, here, Billy, Jean Pierre. Wait, where is
John Pierre?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Jean Pierre? Who's Jumpierre?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
My big cousin. Jean Pierre lives here and he loves
the Olympics just like me.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
He's probably hanging off a rock. That boy is always
climbing something.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Jean Pierre is a rock armer.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Billy says, rock climbing is in the Olympics this year.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Well, he medigated sooner he'll miss it. Yeah, wait miss what?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
You look the torch and going through us there on
the way to Paris.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh, Billy says. The torch will visit four hundred spots
all over France on the way to the Olympic Games.
Four of the spots.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
But why, what actually is the Olympic torch, Elliott?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
The Olympic torch is what starts the whole Olympic Games.
It's a fire.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Ooh yep, and it's on a fancy metal stick.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
That's right, Lisa. The Olympic torch is used to light
the cauldron at the opening ceremony.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oo.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
But I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
What does a fancy fire stick have to do with
the Olympics. I thought the Olympics was about gymnastics. Ooh yeah,
and basketball and volleyball and swimming and so so many sports.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You are right, The Olympic Games are definitely about sports,
so about teamwork and about different people coming together from
all around the world to share their love of sports.
The Olympic Torch relay is about working together as a team,
(03:17):
Billy says, that more than ten thousand people take turns
to carry the Olympic torch all over France on its
way to Paris. That's why it is called a relay.
They pass the torch to each other.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
You mean me share it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's a good way to think about it, Cali. They
share the honor of carrying the torch through France on
its way to the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Wow, I wish I could carry the Olympic torch.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I would awd it high over my.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Head like this.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Maybe you will someday, Lisa. The torch bearers are chosen
for being great athletes, or for being people that help
their communities, or both.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Well, I hope this Olympic torch comes soon.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
My Tommy is rumbling here, motilie. I have a baghetti
you can share with your friends while we wait. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
But I don't need a bag I just need a snack, Elliott.
A bag get is a kind of frinch bread.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I think you like it.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Oh, thank you, Grand Mayor. That bagat is so long
and thin, I got dodge.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
It's giving me an Olympic idea. What maybe we should
do our own relay to share the bag out?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, okay, everybody spread out, Get ready for the newest
Olympic sport, the bag. Get relay.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
On your mark, get set first, A big bite for me.
