When she broke the record for her best 100m, how many more female athlete were inspired? well ture, no one thought that a woman could go faster than 11s at that time but she was up for the challenge and proved them wrong. see?! thats enough.Īnyway how many athletics are willing to be so determined to fight and strive for their dreams. She has never failed a single drug test she's taken, and has passed a lie detector test. However, despite allegations that she has used performance-enhancing drugs, Marion Jones has remained positive, clearly determined to dispel all accusations of cheating. But since shes so famous and dominant in her events theres always a chance that she was set-up by someone right? must be. Ex: her main coaches and her husband (thats like seriously ruining her rep). Perhaps maybe she did takes steriod (i really hope she doesnt) but her life revolves around with people that actually takes them. However, she obviously continually denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs. Her ex-husband, an Olympic shot-putter and confessed steroid user, testified under oath that he had seen her inject drugs into her stomach in the Olympic Village in Sydney. Her victories were tainted by rumors that she was using performance-enhancing drugs at the time. well its enough to fit 2 olympic size swimming pool, 1 baseball field, 1 nba bball court, a 9-hole golf course.and just many more things to make me jealous. Shes was like Jordan's neighbour before.and jordan's house is practically a gazillion hectares of land. But its like just this morning when i read the papers, she was going broke! Oh no! hey c'mon just win some more medals and the cash would be rolling in! is it that easy? haha im not sure. Shes like 32 years old, older than the other athletics but still she leaves them wayyy behind her as she normally emerges as first place. To someone who had a child and maintain a damn muscular body you've got to give her credit. oh ya did i mention she had a child at 2003 but still went on to dominate and got like a million more medals. Her 100m sprint is no.1 which is at 10.65s and thats freakin fast. Still she was the FIRST woman to win 5 olympics medal! all at one time sweep. She actually started off as a terrific basketball player, she averaged 22.8 points per game as a high school senior and was named Division I Player of the Year as a point guard. Her particular shot to fame came when she was inspired to be a track athlete by the athletes she saw compete at the Olympics and by the late Florence Griffith-Joyner. Thank-you.įASTEST WOMAN ON EARTH! yep thats her all right. This way the students can enjoy studying even more with the accompany of their non-academic activities in Anglican High.
My conclusion is that the school should aim to be more all-rounded and treat all aspects of the student's well-being more equally. It was concrete proof that sports and other non-related studies activities are only second to academics. This clearly portrays the image of the school towards the use of its cirriculum time, ‘Only For Academics’. The reason being cirriculum time was precious and we should not use it for the 2.4 run. Secondly, the annual 2.4km cross-country run was scheduled on a non-school day. Futhermore, it shows the effort of the school putting in effort for Sports Day to only a very limited extent.Ģ. I felt that the environment for the event was really important as, without a properly equiped one, it can lead to not hosting even the usual events like the track events. However, the school does not even have the basic requirement of a running track. Of course I would not be bothered if the school provided facilities like the Bedok Stadium. Sports Day is no longer held in the usual Bedok Stadium, instead, it was held in the school compound. For your information, Anglican High is the Centre Of Excellent Sports but I feel that the school is not putting enough effort to live up to its reputation.ġ. There are a few examples which I would point out as it clearly shows the lack of other activities for the pupil’s benefit other than academic wise.
I would like to address the issue of the school only emphasising on the academic development of the pupils here in Anglican High. Good morning Dr Boon as well as ladies and gentlemens.
