Sports
I pull against the other side,
Strength and teamwork define my stride.
Once Olympic, now history’s game,
What am I in the forgotten fame?
Tug of War
I’m fast, indoor, with goals to defend,
Pass and throw until the buzzer ends.
Europeans love me, the world’s taking note,
What am I that Olympic crowds emote?
Handball
I slide on ice with stones in tow,
My teammates sweep to guide my flow.
“House” is my target, strategy my tool,
What am I in the Winter Games’ cool?
Curling
I watched the first Games in spirit long ago,
My ruins whisper tales of heroes’ show.
In ’04, I revived the flame once more,
Which city am I, where history and sport soar?
Athens, Greece
I own 23 Olympic golds,
My butterfly and freestyle are pure gold.
From Sydney to Beijing, I dominate the pool,
Guess my name if you know the rule.
Michael Phelps
