Mike Dawson is an Olympic Ambassador. He came to Te Hapara School to talk about his experience being in the Olympics. The main Sport he plays in the Olympics is Canoe/Kayak - Slalom. For all of you who don't know what Slalom means... Slalom means move or race in a winding path, avoiding obstacles.
He talked about the values you need to be an Olympian Athlete: Friendship, Respect and Excellence.
I learnt that Mike Dawson did not make the Olympic team for 2008. He also broke his spine. He made some really good friends being in the Olympics.
