How would you like to relive your ceremony
How would you like to relive the ceremony
Valerie Adams she that she would like it sooner rather than later so that she would get it before she went home. Her dream ceremony place would be….. In a stadium in an athletics net and have the stadium full with people. Even though she knew that she won the gold medal if was hard for her to believe because it wasn’t physically hanging around her neck.
The actual ceremony
Valerie Adams actual ceremony was held at the cloud on the Auckland viaduct. It was more than Valerie expected and it was great having her medal presented in New Zealand and hearing the national anthem. The proud sponsor and the people who organized it was ANZ.
The cloud
Your feelings when you never got to stand on the podium and get presented the medal:
She stole Valerie Adams moment at the 2012 Olympics Valerie's words (she robbed me off.)
When they were standing on the on the podium Nadzeya started crying when she was getting
presented with the medal. Valerie said that she would probably never forgive her for that reason
and most likely no one in new Zealand would forgive her for what Nadzeya for what she did on
the podium. MY OPINION: I think that what Nadzeya Ostapuk
did was completely and utterly wrong and a disgrace to her own country. What is really sad is
that she knew that she had cheated with drugs but all she wanted was to stand on the podium and get presented with the gold medal since she never had
a chance to win it. My thought was that she was just jealous that's the only reason.
The ListNo one is willing to tell us (new Zealanders) what really happenedThe new Zealand committee is refusing to answer any questions about what happened with the list but there is some things that we do no like......She wasn’t allowed in certain areas and in some places because of the mix up.
