New Zealand's Olympic Legends

The Big Race

During the Olympics, I watched Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan. They raced in the Olympic rowing race in 2012.

The water was cold and crystal clear.

The siren whistled and the rowers were off. Their knees went up and down in the race and their bottoms were sliding back and forth. The oars were black, long, straight and shiny.

The rowers all wanted to win the gold medal but the New Zealanders won the gold medal. They came 1st in the race.

The crowd was cheering.
