 May God shine his light

On these talented athletes

Many hurdles they must face

on the path to victory,

The roar of the crowd

Is indeed very loud

and will never subside

The fire in their hearts will ignite it

hearts of courage and pride,

Mind,Heart,Body and soul

each competitor is worthy of gold,

When countries compete for glory and fame

we will always cherish the olympic games.

In the name of honor and integrity, on behalf of all my fellow athletes I promise that we will abide by the rules, strive towards our goals,do ourselves and our countries proud, compete with honesty and courage, persevere to the epitome of our skills and then some. I promise that we will do our best in the name of the Olympic Games.

Short and good at sport

Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan earned themselves gold and by extension pride and glory, they won by using their height to their advantage. They also secured the first gold for New Zealand. Like ninjas running on water they kept a steady pace and then bursted with energy at the end. No matter how much every part of their body was screaming for them to stop they still persevered and won. Their oars paved the way to their success. This voctory will certainly be a memorable one.




 * MY imaginative story **

**It was August 10th Rowing finals 2016. The crowd were anxious and excited to see their countries all the way in the finals.Wave after wave of cheering weaved over everyone .** **The rowers lined up for the single sculls finals.Representing New Zealand in the first lane is Mahe Drysdale. Just before the mar is given for the race to begin, Mahe Drysdale notices that his oars are missing even though they were there just a minute ago. Officials eyes scan the water desperately for the oars.** **The crowd starts to get impatient. A shout then comes from an official who saw the oars about 25m away. After a few attempts the oars are retrieved. Few people in he crowd mock Mahe but he doesn't care his eyes are set on gold. The rowing begins and as every on rushes off Mahe is keeping a good pace. At the 500m mark Mahe starts to speed up passing those who have lost their pace. At the 750m mark Mahe uses all of his energy for a final sprint in the hopes of victory, passing by those unable to resist from exhuastion. One more persistent rower left. The crowd is gettting anxious. Both rowers oars become as fast as lightning .** **another 10m, and victory. Mahe Drysdale has won gold !! The crowd goes wild. As the NZ Anthem plays Mahe gets what he was after. Not a gold medal,but in fact a symbol of pride and honour.**
