When Valerie Adams was training…
We all felt really proud of Valerie Adams when
she got into the Olympic Games. All of New Zealand
We were on the edge of our seats while our
proud New Zealander, Valerie Adams put up her throws. My heart was in my mouth
and beating like a drum. Would it be good enough? She heaved herself back and
spun around while she pushed the big shot put with all her might and power.
This was it, all of her training put together. It would win her that Gold medal
for her country, if things went the way they were supposed to. At this moment
New Zealand Public members were lying back relaxing, she has done it, and she
has won Gold. But then Russian shot-putter, Nadzeya Ostapchuuk threw an
outstanding throw that was over 1 meter further than Valerie’s! We all sat
there, our mouths gaping Valerie must have been devastated. But at least she‘s
won us a medal!
At the Games the Russian was the famous
one. Today we found out that she was taking drugs. Now that she is taking out it means that we
have a new Champion. Now the Belarusian has to go back to her country and face
them. So New Zealand is still happy and I don’t blame them. New Zealand just walked away with a gold
medal.
Hello Room 6,
ReplyDeleteSuch moments can happen in any event. We try our hardest but someone outperforms. As good sportspeople we take the loss gracefully but, to find the winner had taken an unfair edge, we have a right to be disappointed we lost the opportunity to stand and hear out national anthem played.
