Mike Dawson's visit

Today Mike Dawson, a canoeist from the Rio Olympic games 2016 to tell our syndicate about his tough journey through his canoeing courier. He told us about all of the races he both won and lost, where he stayed during the Olympics, what he had to wear whilst racing and other stuff. I learnt that if you were willing to compete in the Olympics, you'd have to race with over one hundred people and then place 16th place or under. We learnt in Brazil where the Olympics was placed there were sadly many people without homes and didn't have very much food, fortunatly Mike and one of his were empathetic and gave out bags of food all around town. He also told us his other favourite sports which were motorbiking and skiing, and he told us no matter what back round you have if you stick your mind to what you want to be you can be it.
