Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Sam.
The Olympic Games happened every four years, and the most recent games were held in Tokyo this summer.
Did you watch them, Sam?
Yes, I saw a British swimmer at a PC when a gold medal,
and my personal favourite was 13-year-old Sky Brown,
competing in an exciting sport which was added to the Olympics this year.
Skateboarding.
Olympic athletes inspire people around the world to take on new challenges,
eat healthily and get fit.
So it seems strange that some of the companies that sponsor or pay for the Olympic Games also sell food and drink which is linked to obesity,
heart disease and diabetes.
Tobacco advertising was banned from international sport in 2005 because of the harmful effects of smoking, but other companies selling less than healthy products still sponsor big sporting events.
These could be sugary drinks companies or others who sell fast food,
hot food like hamburgers that is quick to cook and serve but which is often unhealthy.
In this programme we'll be asking whether it's right for company selling unhealthy products to sponsor sporting events.
But first it's time for my quiz question, Sam.
