In CSNS for every Olympics Event we draw a country and a class out of a hat and whatever country that class gets they have to support that country. My class, LAVA got Italy so I’m going to tell you about Italy.
Italy has been doing well in the Rio Olympics and has won 18 medals in total and is currently coming 8th overall. Italy has over 300 athletes competing in the Olympics. It has a population of 60 million and has won 6 gold medals, 7 silver and 5 bronze in this year’s Olympics.
Although Italy's flag is Green, White and Red they actually wear blue for the Olympics, because Italian sports teams play in blue shirts rather than the colours of their national flag which is a custom relating back to the country's pre-republican days. Blue was the official colour of the Royal House of Savoy and this is a tribute to the Italian monarchy which survives today.
I hope you know a bit more about Italy.
