We have been learning about the Olympics and Emma Twigg this term and we had to make an article about her. Here is mine.
Emma Twigg won the finals and brought home gold at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday at 12:30. She did not expect to win this time.
You could see the pain in her face while she was rowing as hard as she could to get to the end. No matter how hard people tried to catch up to her she went even faster. A fish even jumped out of the water to see Twigg claim the victory. She was very happy and nearly cried. "For anyone who's had a little bit of failure… just keep at it. If you believe you can do something and you know your worth, then the world's your oyster.”
Twigg began rowing a long time ago in 2001. After 2 years of rowing boat class she began Woman Single Sculls. She won gold in 2005 in the World Rowing Junior Championship. Then aged 29, Twigg left the sport, and it seemed the 2014 world champion and five-time medallist at world champs would depart without making the podium at an Olympics.
