Faster than the speed of Fire !

Inglês

" Faster, Higher, Stronger " is one of the mottos of the Olympic Games adopted by Pierre de Coubertin.

I would like to add three other adjectives : " more challenging, more awe-inspiring and more spectacular " , having in mind ,the 2016 Paralympic Games that will be starting  in Rio de Janeiro soon !

Very interesting comparison between the human being speed and the fire. Nissan did a good job to prove that their cars can go as fast as Bolt can. Bolt is an exceptional athlete of running. He has become a legend of this kind of sport. Good job dearest teacher!
