Olympic Extremes

                   Usain Bolt

His name should be lightning or thunder,

This dashing Jamaican wonder.
He exhilarates the crowd
Into cheering aloud
As he plows his competitors under.















Fiji Rugby Team in Prayer

Though rugby causes many to stumble
The Fijian team did not crumble
At their moment of glory
Their song told  the story
And even in honor they were humble

Olympic Shotput...

Women’s Shot Put Final—America’s Michelle Carter vs. New Zealand’s Valerie Adams

 

Her hair was a little too curly,

And her figure an out-sized too girly

But with one glorious swing

She landed the thing

And left her competitor surly!

They say that anything can happen at the Olympics. It looks like that’s about right. The New Zealand champion had won gold at the last two Olympics and held a strong lead in the event here until the final swing, when the American threw better than she had ever done before and won the gold.
