Swimming hard for the highest reward,
Striving for that far-reaching goal.
Rowing with ever higher ambition,
Anticipation fires the soul.
Endeavour to reach new personal best.
Cycling or running stringent race.
Every fibre is going for gold,
Nothing else will do but first place.
Push all boundaries, throw ever further,
Jump ever higher or longer.
Hit targets, develop truer aim,
Let the spirit become ever stronger.
I feel this is a good piece Lynn, please don't 'bin it' as you implied you might.
My daughter developed Sports fever halfway through the 2nd week and was really fired up when watching the 5,000 M race, hehe. I remember being like that in the days of Coe & Ovett...
Best wishes, Dave
Tommy, I agree with your comments.

Thank you for your comment, Dave. No need to bin it as it was meant to be general anyway. I didn't even see the Olympic final and now think I should have done! (Not for the Spice Girls though, haha) Thanks again.
