I have Physical Education homework and it’s extra credit if we get 3 or more examples. please and thank you!
Women’s skeleton – big row over the helmet worn by gold medallist Amy Williams, bronze medallist Anja Huber defends her saying she’s the right champion.
Women’s cross country skiing sprint – Slovenian Petra Majdic got up and competed despite a nasty crash in training and took bronze, turned out she had 4 broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
Men’s short track speed skating – JR Celski gets disqualified for an accidental breach of the rules, caught his skate in the ice and caused someone to crash into him and out of the race, instead of whining he just said that things didn’t go his way on the night.
Skiing and the sliding sports – competitors don’t rejoice when an opponent crashes even if it means they get a medal as they know how serious it can be.
First and third ones show the acceptance of the officials’ decisions that all people at all levels of sport should have. Second exemplifies the Olympic Creed that it’s the competing that matter, she knew she wouldn’t win but still gave it her all. Last one shows concern for the well being of other competitors over your own success.
