If he really wants to win this title <br />he’s got to really work at it in this race: <br />is he hungry enough? <br /> <br />this is what all those years of training <br />have been all about: <br />keep to your race plan, <br />but remember, on the day, <br />anything can happen.. <br /> <br />they’re off.. he had a good start; <br />now he’s pumping those legs, <br />pushing down with the right leg, <br />then the left leg hard into the ground, <br />then the right leg again… <br /> <br />He'll know that if he doesn't get the gold medal <br />it'll only be a silver.. <br /> <br />he’s hurting all over now, <br />pumping the oxygen through his lungs, <br />going all out; <br /> <br />he’s coming through the field; <br />has he gone too early? <br />he’s got questions to answer, <br />this race is asking big questions of him; <br /> <br />he’s ahead now. He’ll be pleased with that; <br />if he loses now, he won’t be pleased with that; <br /> <br />tell the folks out there, <br />how pleased are you to have won? <br /> <br />‘fantastic – amazing – incredible - over the moon’ <br /> <br />tell me, how sorry would you have been <br />if you hadn’t won? <br /> <br />Not a record time, but <br />he’ll be pleased with that; <br />tell me, what are your plans for twenty twelve? <br /> <br />now back to the studio for news of <br />other events like failure and stuff.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/commentator-steams-through-to-gold-in-banality-final/
