ENGLISH

Only 3 out of the 10 most populated countries in the World ranked Top 10 with the amount of medals won at the Tokyo Olympics. What can the other 7 countries do in order to be in this list of Olympic Top 10? By the way, although Australia & the Netherlands have a small population, it’s nice to see them in the Top 10 list!

Ranking in medals / Posición en medallero

1. China 2nd place / 2o lugar

2. India 47th place / 47avo lugar

3. USA (EEUU) 1st place / 1er lugar

4. Indonesia 40th place / 40avo lugar

5. Pakistan sin medallas / no medals

6. Brazil 14th place / 14avo lugar

7. Nigeria 66th place / 66avo lugar

8. Bangladesh sin medallas / no medals

9. Russia 3rd place / 3er lugar

10. Mexico 46th place / 46avo lugar

ESPAÑOL

De los 10 países más poblados del mundo solamente 3 lograron estar entre los 10 que más medallas ganaron en la Olimpiadas de Tokio. ¿Qué pueden hacer los otros 7 países para poder estar entre los 10 países que más medallas ganan? Por cierto, aunque tiene poca población, ¡da gusto ver a Australia y Holanda en los Top 10!

The Olympic Colors…

ENGLISH

Olympic Colors: many people believe that each colorful ring represents one of the 5 continents in our World (blue for Africa, yellow for the Americas, black for Asia, green for Europe & red for Oceania). However, the true reason is that at least one of the 5 colors in the olympic flag appear in the flags of each country in the World! The Mexican delegation also exported the colors of the southern state of Oaxaca worn by each athlete on their outfit.

ESPAÑOL

Colores Olímpicos: la creencia popular es que en la bandera olímpica, cada aro representa a un continente (el azul para África, el amarillo para América, el negro para Asia, el verde para Europa y el rojo para Oceanía). Sin embargo, la realidad es que alguno de esos 5 colores siempre está presente en cualquier bandera de todos los países. De igual manera, la delegación mexicana portó un traje que lleva los colores del estado sureño de Oaxaca.

Mexico started well with a Soccer victory at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Let’s hope our team wins the gold medal again just as it did at the 2012 Olympics in London!

The below photos translate into the following:

  1. “We come to this World with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Everything in life is borrowed except the things we live, share, love, laugh, dance, enjoy.”
  2. “Enjoy life now…we will have enough time to rest in peace.”
