Olympic games in space
On Friday, the astronauts created their own version of the Olympics, called “Space Olympics”. The disciplines are “lack of floor routine”, “no handball”, “synchronized swimming in space” and “weightless target shooting”. The Space Olympics were held on the International Space Station (ISS). The videos were shared on Twitter by French astronaut Thomas Pesquet. Of course, “athletes” did not have access to the facilities that real athletes have in Tokyo. So it was a bit of work, but the pictures are interesting to watch.
Competitions
