On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, there were many CCA's going on but one particular CCA attracted our attention.It was basketball , as they were in the hot sun running around in their yellow jerseys.The sun was so hot they looked like they were bathing in their sweat ,but they still continued training.When they went to have a break we interviewed one of them(who does not want to be named).
Are you in the school team?If no. Why do you think you are not in the school team?
Yes.
What did you do to get into the school team?
Nothing!I just played how i usually play and got in.
So you are good in basketball?I think so.
Can you dunk?
No im too short but the older people in the B division can . I think they look so cool doing it .I wish i could dunk too!
Are there any other sports you play besides basketball?
Of course , but im not as good at other sports as i am in basketball.
After the interview he went to have a another drink of water and was soon in blazing sun training again.As we left we could still see them in the hot sun doing their best.

The early ages of the Olympic Games were a series of atheletic competitions held in Ancient Greece in honor of Zeus . The exact origins of the Games are shrouded in myth and legend but records indicate that they began in 776 BC in Olympia in Greece .
The idea for the YOG was introduced by International Olympic Comittee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge in 2001 . The YOG are a successor to the discontinued World Youth Games . And only the athletes between the ages of 14 and 18 will compete in the YOG .
Athens , Bangkok , Singapore , Moscow , and Turin were selected by the IOC as the five candidate cities who will be elected for the YOG host country . After that , the candidates were down to Moscow and Singapore , on 21 February 2008, Singapore won the election by a tally of 53 votes to 44 for Moscow. And Singapore is contesting all 26 sports .
The Olympic motto is :
"Citius, Altius, Fortius" , in Latin meaning "Faster, Higher, Stronger".
The Olympic creed :
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well .
Athletics are generally competitive running , jumping , throwing , and walking .
Which is what Cedric and I are covering for the club .
