Winter Learning Journey D5:A3 (Bonus)

Jesse Owens

Jesse Owens was a black American athlete who participated in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany. He is considered to be one of the bravest and most inspirational Olympic athletes because he competed at a time when the leader of Germany (Adolf Hitler) did not want black men competing at the Olympic Games. The picture above is of Jesse from the 1930s. Someone in my family that inspires me is my uncle Christian Erick. He inspires me as he has achieved many things in his karate career including two gold medals as you can see in the photo of him below.

Majorie Gestring

Back in 1936 a 13 year old American girl named Majorie Gestring became the youngest person ever to win an Olympic gold medal. If I was alive back then, five questions I would ask her are:

- How did you feel when you claimed a gold medal at only 13 years old and being the youngest ever gold medalist?

- Were you congratulated by lots of people at school?

- Out of your family, where do you think you get your skills 

from?

- Did you become very popular at school?

- If you had any advice for other people the same age as you or younger what would it be?

By watching the EDDIE THE EAGLE trailer for this year I think this story/movie is about a boy who never gives up and tries his hardest. Even though he doesn't succeed he keeps trying and has lots of spirit and courage in him.
