Alision Shanks

Alison Shanks visited our school today.  She told us, "You have to train your brain to go to the Olympics." 
She showed us her bike that she raced in the Olympics. Her bike isn't like any other bike. Our bikes have holes in the tyre wheels but their's don't. They don't have holes in their bike wheels because it slows them down.
She showed us her gold medal that she won. She won her gold medal in 2010. Mr Emms picked 5 people to help her hold things up. Mr Emms picked Jac, Theo, Taj, Georgia and Jaxon. Jaxon, Theo, Taj and Georgia got to hold the NZ flag and the Olympic NZ flag.
Jac got to get into her NZ biking suit and hold her gold mantle. She passed the medal around the whole school. She told us the first time she went to the Olympics, she got scared when the countdown started. 
When she was getting ready to go, lots of people got her signature and then we all watched the women rugby sevens lose against Australia but they got a silver medal.
