Beard Olympics – level 1

Beard Olympics

02-11-2021 07:00

Beard Olympics happen every year. This year, they happen in Bavaria, Germany.

Around 100 men come. They compete for who has the best beard and moustache. A group of seven people say who wins. These people are barbers and hairdressers.

Ralf Schulz is one of the winners. He has his beard for seven years. He competes often.

Most men use hairspray and a hairdryer for their hair. Some men use other things. They grow very different beards. Some are big, and some are small. They all look very nice.

Many of the men are friends. They look forward to the Beard Olympics every year.

Difficult words: compete (to be better than others in a sport or activity), barber (a person who cuts men’s hair and beards), hairdryer (a device which blows warm air, and it makes hair dry).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
