Hi Anna,
Just a few suggestions for your writing:
(1) We use "the" instead of "The" because we are not referring to a title (The Olympic Games). Instead, we are just using a specific determiner "the" to refer to a specific event.
(2) I decided to use "respective sport" as it conveys a more specific meaning -- "respective" means something that pertains to a specific person out of a group of people.
(3) We write "cannot" as a single word instead of separate words. One exception would be this example: "We can not only try the pasta, but also try the lasagna." In this case, we use "not only" ....... "but also" to introduce two related pieces of information.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Lance
