Extreme Sports Heat up the Olympics走進奧運會極限運動

Watching the Olympics is exciting. At the 2024 Paris Olympics（2024年巴黎奧運會）， we’ve seen four extreme sports（極限運動）. They are BMX riding（小輪車比賽）， rock climbing（攀巖）， surfing（沖浪） and skateboarding（滑板）. What do you know about them？ Let’s take a look！

Bicycle Motocross（小輪車，簡稱BMX） started in the US. Riders（騎手們） control（控制） bikes on a course（賽道） with ramps and obstacles（坡道和障礙物）. They jump high， turn fast and even spin（快速旋轉） and flip（空翻） in the air.

巴黎奧運會自由式小輪車女子公園賽（women’s BMX freestyle park competition）決賽中，18歲的中國選手鄧雅文戰勝了4屆世錦賽冠軍美國名將漢娜，奪得該項目中國歷史首金。

Rock climbing is an exciting sport. Climbers have to climb a 15-meter-high wall. They use a harness（安全帶） to stay（保持） safe. The world record for men is 4.74 seconds（秒）. For women， the record is 6.06 seconds. How fast！

巴黎奧運會女子速度攀巖決賽中，中國選手鄧麗娟以6.18秒的個人最好成績獲得銀牌，這也是中國隊在攀巖項目上首次奪得奧運會獎牌。

Skateboarding is a new and cool sport at the Paris Olympics. Good skateboarders can jump high in the air. They can also go down stairs（階梯） on their boards. It’s fun and shows a lot of creativity（創造力） and styles（風格）.

巴黎奧運會滑板女子街式賽（women’s street skateboarding）決賽中，14歲中國小將崔宸曦奪得第四，創下中國隊在奧運會滑板項目上的歷史最好名次。

Surfing is the most popular water sport in the world. Surfers（沖浪者） take their boards to the sea. They wait for waves（海浪）. When a wave comes， they will stand on their boards to ride the wave， show their skills（技巧）. They ride the waves with balance（平衡）. Surfing is not only about skills but also about connecting（連接） with the ocean（海洋）. Each wave brings a new challenge（挑戰）.

中國隊選手楊思琪在2024巴黎奧運會女子沖浪第二輪比賽中獲勝，晉級16強。作為中國首位參加奧運會沖浪項目的運動員，這位來自四川涼山年僅15歲的中國姑娘，也是奧運沖浪項目中最年輕的選手。
