Our Olympic Task for 2012

1. An Olympic Dilemma
W Wihapi

2. Decide what your task is by reading this conversation between the two New
Zealand Olympic Committee CEO’s.
Hello, is Omar there please? Omar Gosh? Are you there?
Yes Mr Tee. I am here. What’s up now? Not another withdrawn athlete again?
No, something even worse! I’ve lost my car keys again!
Did you try in the fridge, next to the orange juice?
[A few seconds later…] Oh, how did they get in here?!?! Oh yeah, we don’t have a venue for two
events.
What?? Oh no. So we are short of two venues for the Olympics. Does it matter which two events?
No, if we could find one more venue for one of the sports, then we could shuffle all the other sports
around the rest of the country.
OK, so we need a venue that could cater for one Olympic sport. And they would worry
about all the other finer details of hosting an event?
Yes, they would need to take care of all the fine details.
Shall I send an email with what they need to do.
Yes, they will need to make sure they cover what is
needed.
Ok then. Turei out!

Hello students,
Thank you again for your assistance in this matter. I hear your venue is the perfect
place for one of our Olympic events. I trust you are knowledgeable in your
surrounding area, so you’ll know exactly what type of sport would be suited to play
there. Remember, it is a big responsibility to host teams. There are may factors to
consider when you host a sporting event. There is a link to our checklist so that
when you plan your event, you remember to consider our important points. They are
vital to the success of your event.
Good luck students.
Turei.
p.s. I can’t wait to test some of your local cuisine you will be preparing.
