OLYMPICS BALL SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS

June and July were two adrenaline-packed months here at Ball In Translations. With the Olympics in full swing back then, we spent our days glued to the screen with bated breath, watching match after match and rooting for our favourite teams. We were thrilled by the spectacle of skill and athleticism and we ribbed each other about who was going to win the gold in each of the ball sports categories. In the heat of those gripping moments, we asked our sports pundits to enlighten us about the frontrunners.

This is how a series of Olympics articles was born on the spot. Our writers put their best foot forward and speedily lifted our new blog to haute journalistic levels. Then our extensive global network of translators was involved to render some posts into the local languages of the teams we wrote about.

To get a better idea of the quality of our work, check out all our posts about the Olympics ball sports highlights.
