The Olympic Games (French: les Jeux olympiques) (JO), is a major international event featuring summer and winter sports, in which thousands of athletes participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games have come to be regarded as the world’s foremost sports competition where more than 200 nations participate. The Games are currently held every two years, with Summer and Winter Olympic Games alternating, although they occur every four years within their respective seasonal games. Originally, the ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The IOC has since become the governing body of the Olympic Movement, whose structure and actions are defined by the Olympic Charter.
The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in several changes to the Olympic Games. Some of these adjustments include the creation of the Winter Games for ice and winter sports, the Paralympic Games for athletes with a physical disability, and the Youth Olympic Games for teenage athletes. The IOC has had to adapt to the varying economic, political, and technological realities of the 20th century. As a result, the Olympics shifted away from pure amateurism, as envisioned by Coubertin, to allow participation of professional athletes. The growing importance of the mass media created the issue of corporate sponsorship and commercialization of the Games. World Wars led to the cancellation of the 1916, 1940, and 1944 Games. Large boycotts during the Cold War limited participation in the 1980 and 1984 Games.
Morgan Freeman (born June 1, 1937) is an American actor, film director, aviator and narrator. Freeman has received Academy Award nominations for his performances in Street Smart, Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption and Invictus and won in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby. He has also won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Freeman has appeared in many other box office hits, including Unforgiven, Glory, Seven, Deep Impact, The Sum of All Fears, Bruce Almighty, Batman Begins, March of the Penguins, The Bucket List, Wanted, The Dark Knight, and RED.
Morgan Freeman was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of Mayme Edna (née Revere), a teacher, and Morgan Porterfield Freeman, a barber who died April 27, 1961, from cirrhosis. He has three older siblings. Freeman was sent as an infant to his paternal grandmother in Charleston, Mississippi. His family moved frequently during his childhood, living in Greenwood, Mississippi; Gary, Indiana; and finally Chicago, Illinois. Freeman made his acting debut at age 9, playing the lead role in a school play. He then attended Broad Street High School, later named Threadgill Elementary School, in Mississippi. At age 12, he won a statewide drama competition, and while still at Broad Street High School, he performed in a radio show based in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1955, he graduated from Broad Street, but turned down a partial drama scholarship from Jackson State University, opting instead to work as a mechanic in the United States Air Force.
Michael Fred Phelps (born June 30, 1985) is an American swimmer who has, overall, won 16 Olympic medals—six gold and two bronze at Athens in 2004, and eight gold at Beijing in 2008, becoming the most successful athlete at both of these Olympic Games editions. In doing so he has twice equaled the record eight medals of any type at a single Olympics achieved by Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin at the 1980 Moscow Summer Games. His five gold medals in individual events tied the single Games record set by compatriot Eric Heiden in the 1980 Winter Olympics and equaled by Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games. Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won in a single Olympics; his eight at the 2008 Beijing Games surpassed American swimmer Mark Spitz's seven-gold performance at Munich in 1972. Phelps' Olympic medal total is second only to the 18 Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina won over three Olympics, including nine gold. Phelps also holds the all-time record for most gold Olympic medals, at 14.

Western Movie lyrics
To save my soul I can't get a date,
My baby's got it tuned on channel eight.
Wyatt Earp and the Big Cheyenne
They're comin' thru the T.V. shootin up the land.
Ah...um...
My baby loves the Western movies.
My baby loves the Western movies,
Bam, bam, shoot 'em up Pow.
Ah..um..
My babe loves the Western Movies.
I call my baby on the telephone
To tell her half my head was gone
I just got hit by a great big brick
She says thanks for reminding me about that Maverick
Ah..um...
My baby loves the Western movies.
My baby loves the Western movies,
Bam, bam, shoot em up pow.
Ah...um...
My baby loves the Western movies.
Well there's Jeremy Roller and Old Cochise
Jim Hardy, Jim Bowie and Sugarfoot.
They all have gun now will travel
Give me back my boots and saddle uh huh.
Ah..um...
My baby loves the Western movies.
My baby loves the Western movies,
Bam, bam, shoot em up pow.
Ah...um...
My baby loves the Western movies.
Here's the story of the certain Wagon Train Mccord
A broken arrow has broken my heart.
A Jefferson Thomas with Bat Masterson
Unties my baby and the fight was won.
Ah..um...
My baby loves the Western movies.
My baby loves the western movies.
Bam bam shoot em up pow.
Ah um,
My baby loves the western movies.

She cut his throat and took off that day
The blood on her coat washed all away
She’s a murdering girl and she stuck him real good that’s for sure
She broke the law- separated his lungs
Lay on the floor as she sweetly hums
Singing “kill kill kill”, these are the words in my head
Ahhh(girls(x2))
Ahhh(everyone(x4))
Well I stuck my head up in the clouds just to see what I could see
I was weightless, I found the Lord and the good man set me free
Well I came back down just to see you frown on your porch in the month of
July
I was weightless, I found the Lord and the good man made me cry
Ahhh(everyone(x4))
She cut his throat and took off that day
The blood on her coat washed all away
She’s a murdering girl and she got him real good that’s for sure

Sydney 2000's coming up
And it fills us with inspiration
From Hobart to Cairns
Albury to Wadonga
To the heart of this great brown nation
It'll be bigger than footy,
Bigger than netball
Bigger than darts or cricket
I won't be eating for the next six months
'Cause I've already paid for my ticket
Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
Except for those Australians who aren't so young
And the ones in jail indefinitely
Australia's population is from all over the world, you
know
We especially welcome migrants who are really good at
the discus or the hammer throw
We support our athletes all the way
'Cause they're the ones we choose
We don't want to know what they inject or abuse
As long as Australia doesn't lose
Australian' all let us rejoice
With beauties rich and rare
Rich like an Australian golfer who wins
And rare like an Australian golfer who wins
SOCOG has been criticized
But they're the best that money can buy
My hotel room has been booked for me
I'm staying in Gundagai
Australians all let us rejoice
The spirit of the Olympic Flame
We train and we train and we train and we train
But we still can't win like we do at the Commonwealth
Games
If you calculate how many medals we win
Per capita of population
Take into account our alphabetical advantage
She cut his throat and took off that day
The blood on her coat washed all away
