Winter Learning Journey D4:A1

Rieko Ioane is a young speedstar who currently plays for the Auckland Blues. He made his debut last year at only 17 years old. Rieko was selected for the New Zealand Rugby Sevens team to compete at the Rio Olympics 2016.
Three interesting facts about him are:
- Him and his brother (Akira Ioane) are both playing in the New Zealand Sevens team.
- He attended Auckland Grammer School
- And he plays Centre/Winger the same positions I play.

Acrostic poem about the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Rapt with excitement
Intrigued by the many supporters
Overloaded with butterflies

Once in a life time opportunity
Lifted with joy
Young and free
Motivated by the competitors energy
Patiently waiting for the 18 hour trip to Rio to end
Impressed by the many cultures and countries competing
Coerced by the sweet scent of the Brigadiero
Stevenson's highlight for the year :)

Here is a photo of me pumping me legs towards the finishing line. As you can see some of the supporters are giggling at my as they think that I'm running in shades but it's actually my transitional prescription glasses.

(I've cropped the other runners out of the photo)
