Challenge 6 - Karmen Grade 5

Hurdles

Lined up, I stared at the hurdles in front of me... ready for me. I was waiting for the race to start and my heart was beating like a drum. Suddenly we were all running towards the first hurdle...I was jumping over the 4th hurdle before I knew it. I was in the lead. I had just jumped over the 5th hurdle. I could see the finish line, then....my foot started to hurt, I had knocked down the hurdle. The paramedic suspected a broken ankle but I had to finish. Limping I continued. I came last but triumphed.

Challenge 6: Kabelo Grade 5

Success from Failure

I could feel the adrenaline pumping. I was prepared for anything. It was when I started the race that I knew there was something wrong, but thinking about all the training put into this and I knew that I had to continue. I was leading. I could see the finish line, then I fell badly. I felt like I had to give up. Especially hearing the commentator saying things like "Emma Andricks has fallen and Julianna Marie has taken the lead!" Then something made me get back up and finish. I didn't win, but at least I finished the race.

Challenge 6: Andreia Grade 6

Today was the day. I had been practicing for this for four years. It was finally my time to shine. This year, I was lucky enough to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympics 100m sprints. Then, if that wasn't lucky enough, I got in for the finals. Now I was on the actual track. Suddenly the pistol goes of. I quickly sprint. I could see the finish line, then I looked behind me, and saw an athletes on the track who had fallen down, everyone passing him. I ran back, picked him up, and we finished the race together.
