Olympic running

As you know, the Olympic Games have started over in Rio.  We will use this great festival of sport for our prompt this week.

It is:

…I could see the finish line, then…

Things to consider:

• Which sport is this?
• What might be going to happen?
• How do you feel

I could see the finish line as I was running around my local field, training for the big race. My mum was standing there and shouting “GOOOOOOO!” I was embarrassed because all of my friends were watching me and laughing. But this didn't matter because I was training for the 2016 Olympic games.

I finally got to the real race at the olympic games in Rio. I was racing against Usain Bolt and some other people in the 100m sprint. My mum again was in the crowd screaming “GOOOOOOOOOOO.” I was really nervous because it was my first time racing in the Olympics and there was at least 1,000,000 people in the crowd.

3, 2, 1, POW, the gun was fired. All of us racers were running off the start line like lighting. I was racing right next to Usain Bolt and he was going about 3 seconds in front of me for every 1 second I ran. He was about to finish and I was going to be second when I thought to myself I need a miracle for me to win. And well, ya look at that,  HE TRIPPED! As Usain was getting up, I was so ecstatic I sprinted to the end a fast as I could and I finished first. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY went my mum. I was REALLY hyped but it looked like Usain Bolt was hurt so I went over to him and helped him up. He said “thank you, good race.”

I said “thank you, that was an epic race.” So that's how I got my gold medal
