We were learning about the Olympics back in the 1900s and 1800s and I chose to learn about Peter Snell. There were four New Zealand runners, all of them were well known except for Peter Snell. The four were in the first heat 800m, he was a strong man. Everyone was surprised that Peter Snell came first in the heat and wins again to go to the semi-finals. The strongly built man had surprised everyone just from getting here, though he surprises them again and goes to the finals.
In the 800m, final Peter Snell runs the fastest he has ever gone down the back straight. He slips through a gap that opens between other runners and chucks himself at the finish line to win the Olympic Gold medal. Would you ever go to the Olympics if you had a chance?
