The Olympics

I really, really enjoy watching the Olympics. I love just coming home from school sitting my self on the couch after a long educated day adn watching the Olympics. Seeing all the countries of the world come together and compete against each other.

One thing I am very amased about the Olympics is how incredibly skilled people are at their sports. One Olympics athletes beat outstanding records, then four years later at the next one they beat them again. That has been happening since forever! We just get better and better, like a never ending chain. Damn, I mean how good can you get? Next thing you know people wll be breaking records with a second!

With some athletes I start to double think wether they are human or some hardcore athetic robot. Seeing people bike ride for about 160kms is outrageous, men bike riding for 6 hours, Too me that is just unreal, I would conk out after 20minutes. Also seeing teens in the olympics for gymnastics and that stuff, imagine being that commited at such a young age...

Rowing, I've always loved rowing and longed to do it for so long! I want to do itso bad but Whangaparaoa just doesn't have the gear or facilities. You would get so fit doing rowing, I need that! New Zealand are doing so well at rowing in the Olympics! Out of 8 heats we came 1st in 6 and 2nd in 2. We are doing great and I think we will carry that out well! I hope we carry on doing good.
