Fair Play in Rio

You are an Olympic runner.
You are standing at the starting blocks beside the worlds top runners. 
How are you feeling?
What are you thinking?

Bang!
You are off.
What is your body doing and feeling?
Your legs are....
Your arms are....
Your breath is...

Suddenly... 
you fall over.
What happens?
Do you finish the race?
Does anyone help you?



"And suddenly there's this hand on my shoulder, like 'get up, get up, we have to finish this!'
"I'm so grateful for Abbey for doing that for me. That girl is the Olympic spirit right there.
