Olympic Gold

We used some pictures to help us write about Mahe Drysdale winning gold at the Olympics. We tried to write like we were actually in the race.

Larron

I am rowing to beat him. He is next to me. I need to row faster. The finish line is in front of me. The oars are going back and forth. I'm near the finish line and I won. I felt tired and then my hands are hurting and I fainted.

Elyse

I was in the race. There were eight other people. They all looked vert serious. I didn't finish talking when he blew the whistle. Arrrr! It is amazing.I am in the lead. Damir was going pretty fast. When it was nearly the end and who won?  I was sure it was the same time. But I was three centimetres closer. I won! I put my hands in the air because I won gold. It took so long I fell asleep on the platform.

Nishu

I am Mahe, a rower. When the race started I rowed as fast as I can.When I went to the end I saw my neighbour. He nearly beat me. When I came first I felt so happy. I was so proud and happy that I got gold. My neighbours boat was Damir's boat. It was only three centimetres between us. When the race was finished I felt so tired and exhausted. I had used all my strength.

Kelly

When the race started I was rowing as fast as a racing car. Finally the race was done. I went to see the time and my time was six minutes and 34 seconds. I was so proud of myself so I celebrated. I was so exhausted.

Macky

I pulled with all my strength to come across the finish line so I can win. Next I was celebrating my victory coming across the finish line. I was extremely tired and exhausted. 

Kuvira

I was rowing as fast as I could in the race. My hands were shaking like earthquakes. I was pulling back and forth.I was scared at first but I was nearly there. Then I was there. I closed my eyes. I won!
