Usain Bolt 🌩Winning Streak🌩

Known as the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt had once again won another race and gold medal for the 100m sprints. The race started with runner up athlete Justin Gatlin in the lead and then Usain Bolt made his way to the front, winning the race. He finished the race at 9.81 seconds which is very near to his world record( 9.58 seconds).

Usain Bolt described himself for winning continuously "Immortal". Good on him for making history and reviving from his injuries.

Day 3~Rio poem~Sport Specifics

If I worked for TVNZ and were paid to attend the Rio Olympics and had to report at either the golf or rugby sevens competition, I would be nervous. To express my feelings of this event I wrote a poem.

What do I say?, what do I do?
If I mess up who do I go to?
There's nothing to worry about for i'll be okay
And the viewers out there, are miles away

How will I cope
Surely i'll still have hope
Just traveling to Rio has me jumping on my seat
Oh no here comes the terrible hot heat

Rio's not that bad it's a town of happy ought
Maybe when I return, i'll come back with happy thoughts
Interviewing talented athletes
Which they approach me with varieties of greets

Out of no where, the doubt disappears
My deepest fear, suddenly clears
Having a great time, meeting new people
Every interview there's always a loop whole

Day 2~Nz Top 3 Landmarks~Tom and Vinicuis

In Rio, there most famous landmark is the large statue of Jesus called "Christ the redeemer". Now I will be listing the top 3 landmarks in Nz that i think is very famous.

1. The Sky Tower
The sky tower is the tallest building in NZ. Actually the 2nd tallest building in NZ because the tallest building is called Metropolis(tallest residential building-19 floors). The tower was built in 1995 and only has 38 floors. The sky tower was built in Auckland city. Part of the tower is the Auckland City casino and the sky tower is also known for people to bungee jump off.

2. Auckland Art Gallery
Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is the principal public gallery in Auckland, New Zealand, and has the most extensive collection of national and international art in New Zealand. It frequently hosts travelling international exhibitions.

Waiheke Island is in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand, about 17.7 km from Auckland. It is the second-largest island in the gulf, after Great Barrier Island.

Tom and Vinicius Video Episode #1
Tom and Vinicus appears to be Rio's representative mascot. I have no idea who is who but I am going to go ahead and say that Tom is the cat creature and Vinicus is the tree creature. In the video it shows both characters created by lights formed by energy which seemed to rub off the crowd at the Rio Olympic parade. As they are created they see the light form and catches their attention. They soon try to capture the light and end up face to face with eachother at the top of the hill. They soon make peace and jump off the hill.
