The
Ballet Dancer and the Hammer
It may sound like the title of a thriller but actually refers
to Sophie Hitchon, the 21-year-old Olympic hammer thrower who broke her
personal best record in qualifying, setting a new British record.
It’s difficult to reconcile ballet and hammer throwing but
both require dedication, strength, balance and timing. Good luck, SophieJ
So many wonderful Olympic stories to be told. I just loved the young British teen-aged diver (aged about 16) who, when she went up to dive the time I watched her just flashed the biggest smile. She was just so thrilled to be there, I could tell.....even though she probably had no chance for a medal!! I loved her spirit.
