Let the Games Begin!!

The Year of the Commonwealth Games are here! The Commonwealth games have finally come and I am so excited. I can’t wait so see New Zealand compete with other Countries.

Have you ever known about the Commonwealth games? If you have what is your favourite sport from the Games? Shot put is really cool but Valerie Adams always wins so I never get excited. Cycling yeah thats cool but hard and I’m always scared that people might come crashing down on the bikes. My favourite is going to be shot put because I can learn from Valerie Adams and 2 years ago I tried shot put with a little tiny soft light ball and accidentally hit my friends face (it was really funny to me).

Hey, Did you know there are 17 awesome sports in the Commonwealth Games? Awesome right? But thats not all wherever the Commonwealth Games are held that country can pick 7 of the sports so basically theres 10 original sports and 7 are picked from a country. Anyway back to the sport like Swimming, Badminton, Netball excertra. Netball I trialled for that this year and I made the team YAY!!! But most of all I had fun.

Do you know any New Zealander swimmers? I don’t but I am going to research and tell some of the names to you be back in a sec. Turns out theres only 2 New Zealander swimmers and their names are Sophie Pascoe and Lauren Boyle. Pretty cool names aye. Sophie has 2 Gold Medal and Lauren has won 1 Gold and 1 Silver. Thats totally awesome!

Until this year I think its cool to have the commonwealth games because it good seeing different countries cooperating together.
