In 2015, a kiwi golfer named Lydia Ko became the youngest woman in the world to reach the #1 ranking. She was only 17 years old. Many people from here in New Zealand and overseas really admire her and think of her as a modern-day sporting hero. Who is your sporting hero? They can be a famous athlete, or even a member of your family or community. It’s completely up to you.
On your blog tell us about your sporting hero. Who are they? Why are they a hero? Include a photo of them in your blog post.
My Sporting hero is Jason Taumalolo. Jason Taumalolo is a famous rugby player and a very good rugby player. He is my hero because he taught me how to tackle better, I sucked at tackling and let the other team get a try and I came home and started watching his video and it inspired me to tackle my friends while we play rugby.
Hey there Sam, thanks for sharing your favourite sporting hero, Jason Taumalolo. He is an awesome league player. I like how he didn't play for the Kiwis but went to play for Tonga. I thought that was really cool. It's a shame they lost to England in the World Cup. I think they were a bit hard done by though. That last try was a bit unfair.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch much of the Rugby League World Cup?
Thanks, Billy
Hi Samuel,
ReplyDeleteI like your sporting hero because he can help you learn how to tackle properly like you said. He's a cool guy.
Great work
