Friday was the first day of the Olympics in Beijing, in China. I was holding the flag of NZ. Our team had to wait for two hours before we could go into the stadium. It was boiling. Finally we got to go into the stadium. I was part of the rowing team. When I walked in I was holding our flag, I felt proud and I knew Mum would be proud. I saw exploding fireworks and shining lights that said ‘Welcome to Beijing’. I saw people cheering, clapping, yelling, singing, shouting and dancing. They were having so much fun. I saw the man who ran with the Olympic flame high up in the air. It’s hard to believe there were ninety one thousand people inside the stadium watching me.

Viliami,
You have written a great story about the opening ceremony at Beijing. I think it would be a scary walking around the stadium with 91,000 people watching. I really like the verbs and describing words you have used in your story. Awesome stuff!

What awesome writing Viliami! I love the way you have described the atmosphere in the stadium and the way Mahe Drysdale must have felt. I think you have written this better than some of the professional journalists I have seen and heard at the Olympics!

Hats off to you and all the other sports persons out there
My students were so excited to see your blog. I loved watching the Olympics, and hearing your story was very interesting. I'm this class's fifth grade teacher (Mrs. Emmert) and we are borrowing Mrs. Davis's gmail address to be able to comment to your students.
