Ruapotaka Mini Olympics

Last week on Friday Ruapotaka school had our first  ever mini Olympics. The whole school line up outside room 11 and room 12.

Their were 16 countries. The country that I was in was Germany. My favorite sport that i liked doing and enjoyed was the javelin. The school first started off with a opening ceremony and at the end we finished it off with a closing ceremony.

The greatest rowing team Hamish Bond and Eric Murray have won New Zealand's first gold at the Rio Olympics. They have won the men's pair final and that means their run of victories now sits at 69 races. Bond and Murray sat in about third positions over the first 500m of the 2000m race. But by the 1000m mark they were a boat length ahead. At the 1500m the rest of the field were simply battling it out for second with with Bond and Murray tow and a half lengths in front.
