OMG by Eamon




Oh, my, and God, the three most common words that were spoken over the last two days. The World Track Championships were the most wonderful experience to endure and to appreciate. The first day our seats were in the “A” section, the finish line tickets. These seats were simply astounding, and when the athletes finished they walked right near us. We felt accomplished when we were acknowledged when the Americans athletes walked by. We were screaming to get their attention while waving the American flags we purchased. The people around us thought we were completely bonkers. The couple to the right became our friends after they realized how fun we were. (How long it took them, the world may never know).
The second day we had seats in the upper level, near the start of the 100-110 meter races, the high jump, and the decathlon’s discus throw. We all talked about how watching track and field was a good place for A.D.D. “Hey look he just cleared the pole vault, oh look there goes the 1500 meters, WOAH LOOK HOW FAR HE THREW THE JAVELIN!!” We just had so much fun, and when Trey Hardee won the Decathlon I was shown on both jumbo-trons!
