Ah. It's nice to be back home from the Olympics. But its sad to see the olympics go by so fast, but four years to go till the next olympics. Did you know in the games New Zealand came 15th! We recieved 13 medals in total. They are 6 gold, 2 silver and 5 bronze. The top 3 countries on the medal table were the USA with a total of 104 medals. In 2nd was China with a total of 88 medals and in third place was Great Britian with a total of 65 medals. One of NZs athletes Valerie Adams competed in the shotput receiving a silver medal however the oylmpic staff found out that the person who had won the gold medal for the womans shotput had been taking banned drugs. As a result Valerie Adams won the gold medal. Usain Bolt of Jamaca currently the fastest person in the world won 3 gold medals for the sprints. His nickname is lightning bolt, he is 25 years old, he weighs 93 kg and is 6 foot 5 inches tall. Before he became a sprinter he used to play cricket and his coach said he was fast and should try sprints. Got to go now Bye
