Olympic Bus Tour


The Olympic Bus tour came to visit today!  The Special guest was Sarah Ulmer who has competed at 3 Olympics games, the first one when she was 20!  Wow.  She told all all about the Individual Pursuit Race that she use to compete in and how she set a world record!  She said that although she has won about 150 medals since she was 16, she has lost more that she has ever won. 
She asked us questions and we were allowed to ask her question.  Jake was able to tell her that after the medal ceremony they play the Nation Anthem.  He won a cool ANZ Bankk Drink bottle.  Parthiv asked her "How many centimeters was her race?"  Even Miss Hammond got that one wrong!  Oops.  He won a cool ANZ Bank hat and even got his photo take with her!  Wonder if he will be in the paper tomorrow?

Then Josh got to go in the Double Decker Bus.  He said there were Bicyles and Ipads and all sorts of cool gadgets inside.  I wonder what else he learnt?

    1. It just means that right now you are not, but with hard work and practise you could be. As Sarah Ulmer Said " I didn't know I could until I was 16."
