"I've been training for four hard years and I wanted to execute the perfect race so to do it here is fantastic." -Hannah Russell, gold medalist in the S12 100m backstroke. Ooh!! The U.S. is catching up for third place! We have to start looking at second and third like I said before.. Think that the games are a disaster?
Find out below if that is correct! (P.S. The U.S. still cannot find a great way to broadcast these games which may influence your answer!) "I dared to dream and I have determination to work hard and the passion and perseverance to follow that dream. Women [in my country] often lose that and I have ensured that my family is not neglected, my children are doing well too." -Deepa Malik, first Indian woman to win a Paralympic medal. "They don't think para-sports is the same as able-bodied sports. My answer... is that we put in the same amount of effort to get to where we are and it's not easier being in para-sports." -Yip Pin Xiu Any surprises?
Not really but Ukraine is getting closer to Great Britain and that's a big deal. Great Britain was winning golds on the second and third days like it was going out of style but they have allowed Ukraine to catch up. There's still time left but I think countries are playing for second and third in the medal count. "I'm actually pretty happy to get my main event out of the way and for it to be a gold, I am super stoked." -Maddison Elliott, 17 years old. China is absolutely amazing. There is no competition here (even though Britain looks good and everyone else is working their butts off) but China has got something figured out.
"I can't believe it. I'm over the moon. I have only been doing it a year and a half and being on top of the world is amazing." -Kadeena Cox, winner of medals in athletics and cycling. "This has been months and months of hard work, and hours in the gym and velodrome to get here.” -Sophie Thornhill |
AuthorHi, I'm Jenna and I'm a sports fan! I've been avidly watching sports since 2011 because I found that by watching sports, I would be able to communicate with my dad and brother better. Ever since I got into sports, I've been able to enjoy myself more when I go to sporting events with my family. Archives
