"The 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." 1896

OLYMPIC ACHIEVERS

We have discussed in class Olympic athletes and their achievments.Here are some of the student's comments

Sonya Dawn Fraser was the top sportswoman to win the same event in 3 consecutive Olympic games.

Shane Ian Thorpe is a good role model for the young people of Australia, as more young kids take up swimming.

Allan Ian Thorpe seems to know what he wants and to go for it. He believes that you have to put 110% into what you do, if you want to succeed.

Lino I wonder if Johnny Weismuller was alive today and came face to face with Ian Thrope in the same pool, who of the two champions would take the medal away.

Carl Johnny Weismuller was like Ian Thorpe because they had broken world records and they are both good at swimming and both wealthy.

Mary I think Ian Thorpe is a top sportsman.
