Note to recorder:
Natural speed please (it's for a test)
Standing and waiting for the race to begin
I’m getting quite nervous.
Am I going to win ?
Crouching down low, I wait for the gun
Bang.
There it goes.
We’re starting to run.
My heart is pounding ; I’m going to burst
Come on legs keep going,
I want to come first.
Just one last effort, I pass the line.
Am I first, last, where am I ?
What’s my time?
I stand on the podium,
proud and bold.
I’m wearing my medal.
An Olympic Gold !
