Long jump

Ring Ring I picked up the phone. “Hello Zara speaking” I casually said. As I excitedly hung up the phone and screamed “i'm in the olympics” they sent an email to me. It was my flight tickets.

As i board the private Olympian plane I saw all the famous competitors like Usain Bolt and the long jump winner Brittney Reese. I started getting more and more nervous as the plane kept flying. At this point in time I thought that i would not be even in the top three.

I had three more days till my big day and so I went to the Olympic long jump pit and saw that it was a lot bigger than what I've been practicing in. I kept on running as fast as I could and pushing myself ford but still only reaching 5 meters. I decided that I should come back tomorrow.

As the next day ocerd I walked down to the long jump pit and tried again and again this time I made it 5 meters and a half. I have to at least beat 6 and a half to let myself go back to my cabin. It was at least 9:30 at night and I still did not make it. Suddenly from the distance merged Brittney. “ hi” she kindly “what are you doing” “I'm practicing for tomorrow” I said tiredly. “Here I will give you a tip Run as fast as you can and when you push of the ground push yourself ford” she exclaimed. “Thanks I will keep it in mind for tomorrow” I said as I thanked her.

That night I could barley sleep with the excitement of tomorrow.

When it hit 2 minutes I was so nervous and started stretching. Zara could you please step up to the line. “Ok so to beat Britney you have to jump 7 meters and 52 centimeters” The speaker announced. In my head I was thinking about the tip Britney told me. 3……... 2………1…. Run!!!!!!!! I ran and then jumped to then push myself ford.

My jump was 7 53 I did it and set the new world record. Zara could you please step up on the podium. I got to stand at the top and look down at Britney. We all congratulated everyone and had a group photo. I will always remember this moment for life and hope I will be invited for next year.
