Bust out your moves in a break dance. Scale a climbing wall. Do your best tricks on a skateboard. Surf waves.

These are 4 of the newest sports in the Olympic (oh-LIM-pick) Games this summer.

Pray: Thank God for sports that push us and build our strength.

The Olympic Games began nearly 3,000 years ago. The earliest games had events like chariot racing and wrestling. The summer Olympics are in Paris, France, from July 26 through August 11. Expect to see runners, swimmers, and gymnasts. Watch for more. Break dancers will spin on their heads! Athletes will leap to reach holds on climbing walls. Skateboarders will balance their boards on rails and stairs. Surfers will ride waves more than 20 feet tall.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” (Colossians 3:23)
