Chanda Coy has won the Gold By:Chanda E. “Here she goes, and she landed it. Chanda Coy has landed a 720 for her first time ever!” Chanda Coy is an Olympian Figure skater. “ She just made 1st place in Vancouver.” “ Hello, I am here in Vancouver interviewing with Chanda Coy. Now Chanda, how did you do that 720?' “Well I work out every morning which helps me with my strength to get that 720. I also am on the ice for at least three hours a day. I have been trying and trying so hard to get my 720. I have trying for three months now. When I couldn't get it when practising I kept telling myself to do my best when I preform and go for the Gold. So that is what I did and I was so proud and worked so hard by the end, my heart was thrashing.” “Thank you Chanda! We will be back after this break.”

“We are back. Tell me, what was it like when you landed your 720?” “The first thing I did was had a giant smile on like the Grinch has. Cause I did so well on my 720, I kept telling myself to finish strong. After I finished I pictured roses flying at me and me skating around gathering them all up. Just like in movies.” “

“Can you tell me what it was like when you won your first gold medal?” “ It was a dream come true. I had nearly died when the announced that I won Gold. No won else could be as happy or more happy than I was when I won my 1st gold!” “This is extremely big for you because this is your first Olympics ever.”

“Was there any emotions when you strutted off the ice or when you got off the ice?” “Yes there was a lot of crying but not because the where mad or disappointed but because they where so jubilant for me!”

“Do you have any last words Chanda.” “ Well I would like to thank My mom,dad,and my coach Heather for supporting me! Also I am telling you kids who want to be in the Olympics to keep practising and maybe you will be in the Olympics just like me.

 **Olympics are important** **By:Chanda E.**

**Learning about the Olympian athletes I know that it is extremely important to stay fit and practise all the time. Although the athletes have many techniques, there is three techniques that I like to use.**  **My last technique I love to use is practise at home or at school.** If you are at home you might have a jump rope so you can go outside and jump rope for a little bit. Also is what I do every month is have a slate and write down an exercise for everyday. Some days it is splits for five minuets and sometimes it is five hundred pushups. Also if you are at home if you have a brother or sister or even you mom, dad, gramps, grams, and who ever can play ball with you or something like that. That way you can stay fit. The way you can exercise at school is at recess by jump roping or just running around and that way you can still play. Also if you are in P.E. You get exercise by what you are doing even if it is dancing. You can even come up with your own games and do them. At home some people might have a wii. Even if you don't have a wii fit you can exercise by doing wii sports or what ever games you have. I have actually herd that some of the Olympic athletes used wii to get fit. Not just summer but winter to.  **The winter Olympic athletes work as hard as they can. That is what they had to do to get into the Olympics also. Some of the athletes kept trying out for the Olympics but could just not make it. Then they have their coaches push them even harder! I hope you decide to do the Olympics when you get older! GOOD LUCK!**
 * My favorite techniques to get fit is to go to the gym and work out.** Also at the gym you might find a sport that you want to try out for. For an example, one day when I was at ballet and I wanted to go and watch gymnastics for a little bit. So my mom took my to the gym. After I saw what the gymnast did I asked my mom, “ Can I do gymnastics? PLEASE!” My mom gave into it and I have been doing it since first grade. It does not matter how old you are. I had a friend that started a sport when she was only one years old.
 * Another technique I like to use because it works so well is to get a coach to help you exercise**. If you want to be in the Olympics you have to train. But to work out it DOES NOT have to be a sport. You could just run the track for how many hours your coach tells you to do everyday. Also you can lift waits. That is what my brothers do to get fit and ready for football.
