Olympic moments!
As part of our Olympic topic we have been doing work on our favourite Olympians - one of my most memorable olympic moments is Derek Redmond in 1992. Study the video and then answer the following questions:
1) Which Olympic games was Derek competing in?
2) Which event was Derek competing in?
3) What happened to Derek during the race?
4) Why did the officials try to get Derek off the track?
5) Why did Derek carry on 'running'?
6) Why do you think Derek was crying?
7) Derek's dad said 'You don't have to do this' Derek replied 'I do'
a) - Did Derek HAVE to finish the race?
b) - Why did Derek say he had to finish?

ReplyDeleteDerek Redmond was competing in athlethis.
ReplyDelete400m sprint.
DeleteDerek was competing Barcelona 92 Olympic games. By sharon
ReplyDeleteSharon,
DeleteHe was in the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 not 92.
1. Derek was competing in the 1992 Olympic games in Barcelona.
ReplyDelete2. He was competing in the 400 meter sprint.
3. During the race (in which he was doing very well) his hamstring tore. He fell to the floor in pain.
4. The officers tried to get Dereck of the running track because the race had already finished and they thought that Dereck wounldn't finish the race, therefore he was waisting time.
5. Dereck carried on running because it was his dream to compete in the Olympics, a dream he had been aiming for his whole life, so he atleast full filled his dream by crossing that finish line.
6. I think he was crying because his dream was to win the Olympics and he had a good chance of winning which became crushed by him tearing his hamstring. I also think he was crying because he was happy that his dad helped him finish his dream and that eventhough he came last, he still crossed the finish line.
7A. He did not have to finish the race.
7B. He said he had to do it because this was the race he had been training for his whole life and it was his dream to cross the finish line.
3)During the race Derek got pain and fell down ht race was alredy done but Derek finished the race and his father helped him.
ReplyDelete1)Dererk Redmond was competing in the Bracelona 1992 Summer Olympic Games.
ReplyDelete2)Derek was competing in the 400m sprint.
3)Derek tore his hamstring when he was 150m into the race.
4)The officials tried to get Derek off the track because when you tear your hamstring you can no longer run. With a torn hamstring he ciuldn't run so the judges decided that there was no point in running the race.
5)Derek carried on 'running' because that was his dream and he wanted to finish that race.
6)I think taht Derek was crying because that was what he had trained for his whole life. Now his dream was ruined and he knows that he wouldn't ever be able to run as good as that ever again.
7a)Derek didn't have to finish his race.
7b)Derek said that he had to finish the race because it was his dream and he had waited his whole life just for that moment.I think that he had to finish so he could say that he didn't give up and so he could say that he had finished the race.

ReplyDeletesharon wrote num 5 from sharon

3)He tore his hamstring
4)Because Derek tore his hamstring and its a very serious injury and he might make it worse if he carrys on.
5)Because it was his dream to compete in a final and he traind all his life for this moment.
6)Because such a injury would never heal 100% so he might not go to the finals again.
7) a) He had to finish the race beccause he would never have the opportunitty to do this again in life.
7) b)As I said he only can do this one time in his life and it was his biggest dream . He might not have won but he could still be pruod to say he copeted in the final. Its a opportunity you cant miss and you will only get to do it once in life. So that is why derek said he had to finish
