  2. Hi Mya

    I like the photo that you have used of Valerie Adams. You have informed us about her with the 3 facts. Maybe you could add more detail to it.
    But anyways Keep on blogging

  3. Hi Mya,

    I completely agree with Mia and Cecillia. You have chosen a fabulous athlete to profile. Valerie Adams is a very talented shot putter. In fact, she has won gold medals at the last two Olympic games. Interestingly, she was only awarded a gold medal for the 2012 Olympics in London after the woman who originally placed first was stripped of her medal when they found that she had been taking performance enhancing drugs. Hopefully the same thing won't happen this year and Valerie can win a gold medal in Rio fair and square (the first time)!

    Thanks for including a picture with your post, as well. It really adds to your blog!

    Cheers, Rachel :)
