Sample Text
Child 25: 1992, France! Germany won most medals this time!
Child 26: 1994, Norway! The first Winter Olympics to be held in a different year from the Summer Olympics, setting the future pattern – the two Games taking place two years apart. Russia won most medals this year.
Child 27: 1998, Japan! First time snowboarding takes place!
(Enter snowboarder, nearly knocking Narrator over with board he’s carrying)
Narrator: Ouch! (Furiously)What is it with you winter athletes? Can’t you watch where you’re going? First time for snowboarding, eh? If I had anything to do with it, I’d make it the last! Now, go!
(Exit snowboarder)
(Sighing) I think I’m just about done! What with being run over by crazy speed skaters and lugers; knocked around by men with big boards…Now if I had my way, we’d just stick to that lovely peaceful figure skating ….
(Enter two figure skating couples, shouting at each other and pushing each other around)
Narrator: Hold it! Hold it! What’s going on here? These cannot be figure skaters, surely?
