Atletismo - Paperback

by Ashley Gish (Author)

Athletic events at the Summer Games are amazing to watch! From the 100-meter race that's finished in 10 seconds to the high jump, where athletes soar seven feet in the air, elementary Spanish readers will discover the speed and power it takes to win gold in this sport. Action photos and North American Spanish translated text introduce the track and field events, their Olympic history, equipment, and individual or team modes of play. A biographical story spotlights Faith Kipyegon, a Kenyan runner who has won two gold medals in the 1500-meter race. Photo captions and on-page definitions support reading comprehension. Includes extra resources and an index.
