I was watching Shawn Johnson competting in the Beijing Olympics.She was in the gymnastics when she was just running and she had bounced of the tramp and went straight onto the balance beam.She looked very focused and took her time .She put her hand out then she done a neat flip.
Shawn Johnson is a gymnast that never fears.She was born in West Des Monies 1992.At the age of three Shawn Johnson started doing gymnastics.At the moment she is 16.She's a gymnast that keeps her diet on track.In her ten minute brake she always ate her favorite fruit which are strawberry's.Her training is four hours a day.She does a 50min work out on each event like push-ups,sit ups and also squat jumps.
Shawn loved gymnastics that she always put more hours and learned more skills and concentrated.She listened to her coach and was never fearless.
She lets people vote for her on her website.She gets support by her family, fans and especially her coach.You can also vote for her T.V from the people who sponsor her.
Through her life there has been heaps of sacrifices.She couldn't spend much time with her family because she would be training most of the time.She doesn't only miss out time with her family but with friends.She misses time with friends going out at times.Shawn Johnson spends more time at the gym working out.

Nadia Comaneci
Nadia waited quietly and nervoussly.The crowd was silent looking on the board waiting for the score from Nadia's last routine but when the board had flashed a one the crowd went wild because Nadia had scored a perfect ten.
Nadia was born in Romania 1961.She had started gymnastics when she was six years old and won lots of medals in 1976 in the Montreal Olympics held in Canada.In the Montreal Olympics she won three gold medals,one silver and one bronze.She scored 7 10s in the Montreal Olympics and it was also the first time that anyone had scored a ten.The Moscow Olympics in Russia 1980 she got two gold medals and two silver.
She trained six days a week and four hours a day.She would go to the gym early and started to do her exercize again without complaining.She was a very energetic gymnast.She liked jumping and sprinting that she broke four of her couches by jumping on it and it broke the springs on the chair. She also had to watch her diet.Nadia had to have healthy food to be fit and to build her muscles.

Opening Ceremony
BOOM went the drums,2008 traditional drums and 2008 people playing on each of them wow!
In the very
first beginning of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics there were 2008 drums with the same amount of people playing on each of them.The suit that the drummers wore was orange white and a bit of red.The sound of the drums sounded like thunder making a perfect sound of drums.After a while the lights went of.It was amazing because red was the only light shining in the stadium.The drummers were using red glow sticks as a drum stick playing in the dark.if I was to be playing in the dark with a red glow stick I would be muddled up because I wouldn't know w
hat to do and I wouldn't be able to See it as well.When the staidum went wild with cheering and there were no drums
playing, fire works shot up on the sides surrounding us like roaring lions.I felt like it was a celebration going on around the city because there were heaps of fire works going by like a popping popcorn.The fire works went down the street second after second shaped as a foot print.There were twenty-nine foot it prints representing the twenty-ninth Olympic games.

Immersion Assembly
WOW! I walked into the hall and saw all the teachers dressed in sports costumes.When I was looking for Miss Squires I couldn't find her but when I saw the students from room15 I went and sat down next to them.There was someone next to them sitting on a chair with Afro hair and a basket ball suit holding a basket ball.I decided to look closer because I was thinking it was a real sport person.But when I looked closer Miss Squires dressed as Michael Jordon.
The teachers were all dressed up as Athletes because this term our topic is called "we are the champions".We are learning about the Olympics which are being held in Beijing in a few weeks.
In Assembly when it was term Four's turn to go up and show what their costumes were about it was like the book called "Who am I".This was because the teachers were talking a little bit about the person they were dressed as but they didn't tell the name of the person,we had to guess.I didn't see the other team's because I came to school late,so I could only watch team four.The first team four teacher was Mrs Nua.She was dressed as Irene Van Dyke.The next teacher was Mr Palmer,he was a Rugby player.Then it was the next teacher and she was dressed as a rugby player as well and it was Miss Langitupu.The last teacher was Miss Squires.I already knew what Miss Squires was, she was dressed as Michael Jordon.After team Four it was Mr Jacobson and Mr Burt.Mr Jacobson was a cycling person and his name was Cashy Luke's.Mr Burt was dressed as an equestrian and his name was Mark Todd.

Cross Country Training
This term team four have been cross country training.The track we have to run is not really long but if you do the course twice it will be half the track that we will have to run in the real cross country race.
When we start to run we begin running with our class.The classes start at different times.As we run we have been timed.When we have done the first round around the track we will see a chart with heaps of times.The chart is there so that we will know how long we took.
