Historias Inspiradoras

こんにちは、Mikaです
このPodcastでは私の日々の出来事を通して
日本語をより身近に、楽しく感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。
短い間ですがリラックスした気分でどうぞお付き合いください。

今日は2024年の7月に開催されるパリオリンピックのメダルについてお話ししたいと思います。
皆さんはニュースでパリオリンピックのメダルのデザインを見ましたか？
私はニュースでもう見ました。
メダルのデザインは国によってオリジナリティがあって、形やデザインやリボンの色などが本当に様々で面白いですよね！どの国のメダルも素敵でしたが、次のパリオリンピックのメダルはとても素敵なデザインとアイデアのあるメダルです。

実はエッフェル塔で使われていた "鉄" がメダルの中心の部分に使われています。そして形はフランスの形を表す "ろっかっけい" になっていて表彰台に上がったアスリートがメダルとしてエッフェル塔の一部を持ち帰ることができるという貴重なものです。
アイデアがとてもおしゃれで、さすがフランスですよね♪

私が注目している競技はゴルフとスケートボードですが、本当にたくさんの種目があるので、どの種目も見てみたいと思います。
すべての国の選手がパリオリンピックでベストを尽くせるように、とても楽しみにしていますし応援しようと思います。

皆さんはどの競技を楽しみにしていますか？是非教えてください。
それでは今日も笑顔の多い一日を！またね～

If you feel a bit more difficult, turn on the subtitle at first, after a few times later, you will be able to understand just by listening. 
Hope you like the little story.
