Nadia Comaneci



Nadia Comaneci competed in the olympics in Montreal in 1976 at the age of 14. She became the youngest-ever Olympic medalist in history.

It was the first time in history of the modern Olympics. Nadia obtained seven perfect 10’s on the uneven bars.

On the scoreboard they did not have enough space to show a 10, but the score appeared as 1.00. It shows that One can strive for perfection.

In the future I wish that I could be I Gymnastics Girl.

Going For Gold

Going For Gold is our topic this term and in room 19 we are wondering how we can go for gold.
Striving to succeed is the main key and also trying to do your best . To achieve a gold medal, you have to  believe in yourself and never give up. Taking charge and doing your best is achieving more and going for gold, but if you're being  lazy and not being part of the team, you're not going for gold.

If you are in any kind of sports, you should turn up to every training and  if you can't make it, then make sure you let your coach know. We can go for gold by listening to our coach and turning up on time with the right gear. Remember, Right Place, Right Time and Right Attitude.

Valerie Adams

Valerie Adams inspires me by the she is good at shot put. One day I would like to be like her because seeing her on the news during the olympics, she made me think that one day I would win a gold medal like her.

At the end of 2011 Valerie Adams had won three world titles, at the olympic games held in london. By winning and getting medals, I think that she would of practice and practice until she got better and better.

Valerie Adams was born in Rotorua New Zealand, to a tongan mother (Lilika Ngauamo) and an English father (Sydney Adams). When she was in a relationship with Kirsten Hellier they broke-up. After a few years later Kirsten Hellier was Valerie Adams Adviser coach.

In the future I would like to achieve more in my athletics, like
( Shot-Put, 100 meter sprint, High Jump, Discus and many more). Thanks to Chanel.
