Hello, this is 6 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 British swimmer Adam PC win 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 the exhausting events.

These could be sugary drinks companies or others who sell fast food, hot food like hamburgers

that is quick to cook and serve which is often unhealthy.

In this programme we'll be asking whether it's right for companies selling unhealthy products

disponsors forting events. But first it's time for my quiz question, Sam.

McDonald's had a long history with the Olympic Games until the company ended the partnership

ahead of the 2024 Games in Paris. But why did McDonald's choose to quit? Was it because

A, they wanted to change the name of French fries to McFry's, B, they didn't want to call their

hamburger Lubbig Mac or C, they wanted to be the only company selling cheese for cheeseburgers.

I think maybe it's A because they wanted to call French fries McFry's.

Okay Sam, we'll find out the answer later in the programme.
