The car wheels of a red convertible screeched to a halt, then shuddered. Jack Curren was late again. At a young age of 17 from New Zealand, he never really had any professional training in the ocean. Jack stood straight and laughed. He never really had a choice. He never really had a say, all he __could__ do was grumble about the difficulties of life, hoping for a gold but having won 25th place at Beijing Olympics, all his life has been deeply troubled. Jack stood up brushed off his uniform and slipped on a wetsuit.

Jack’s mum, Rachel Curren, stood there, hands on hips “Where have you been?”.“What took you so long?”. “This is your last day of training mister!” “London tomorrow! Jack stood gaping his mouth. Tomorrow? He thought it was it was next month! “The sailing event has been switched, you need to train Jackson! you need to train!” as Jack’s mother cried. “Yes mum.”

13 hours later.....

“And right ahead we have Jack Curren and his New Zealand team, just on their way to lane 4, this is news, I’m Gerald Froun.” Jack sat there nervously as his prep team warmed him up, he was prepared, he knew all the rules but something was bothering his mind. As the loudspeaker screamed for the players to come, Jack slowly stood up. Jack’s heart was beating out of his ribcage as his legs slowly drew him to his boat.

“Starting now. In Lane 4 we have the young but experienced sailor, his hopes maybe as high as they were in Beijing.”

Jack shuddered as he parked himself in lane 4 but knew there was something wrong.

“Starting in 3...2...1...And there off! Lane 2 is gaining fast, but wait! Lane 5 is on his heels.”

Jack’s bottom were flooded with pain and exhaustion. Never before were they so heavy. Maybe he was doing something wrong......

“And its the last 10 metres! Lane 5 is surely winning this year’s competition!”

Jack’s mind raced through him it was the last 10 metres and nothing else. He held his breath as he felt an unusual surge of power racing through him.

“But wait, what's this? Lane 4, Jack Curren has boosted his way to the finish! Finishing in 1:23.34, only winning by 2 seconds! Winner 1st place for New Zealand JACK CURREN! This is news, I’m Gerald Froun.”

As Jack took one last look at his award-winning boat, the seat was missing!

**Task 2**
====Two pairs of badminton players are deliberately trying to "lose" their badminton matches at the London 2012 Olympics, this caused confusion to the referee and the crowd. As both teams of players served to the net and deliberately hit the shuttle out, wanting to avoid Wang and Yu in the quarter finals also knowing that if either team won or lose. Also both teams would be qualified for the final women's doubles in Wembley Stadium. Although it was China who started the havoc, Korea also began copying the Chinese, both teams resulted in black cards, meaning instant disqualification.====
