Olympic is just around the corner,isn't it?(listening comprehension)

Has someone in our circle participated in Olympic Games?
Even if you did not attend the Olympic game, you surely attended
a sport festival in your school days.

Which game was most interesting in your highschool day's sports
festivals?
I believe running events attracted many of us a lot. 
And,I remember that the relay race is always the most remarkable 
event and often carried out at last stage in order to bring us 
a ultra-dramatic climax.
It is really interesting for us to watch the race but very stressful
for runners.

I also was a runner in younger days. 
And I made a very big mistake when I joind 400M relay 
in my highschool days.
Although I was selected as an anchorman of our school's relay team,
I didn't recognize my turn before the 3rd runner came to my place 
at that vital moment.
Our team ran fastest so far (until coming to my turn) , but could not
finish the goal as I could't receive the baton.
I remember I was not able to find some apologetic words to my team
players.

Today, let us predict which team will win at the relay race, and
listen the relay competition events.
