Alison Shanks

Alison Shanks visited us today. She told us about her experience at being at the Olympic Games. She told us she was nervous before the countdown, but she used the countdown in her training so that she wouldn't be afraid of it anymore. She told us we had to train our minds because having a strong mind is part of training for the Olympics, She showed us her bike which had the wheels covered in so she could go faster and she showed us her gold medal that she won at the Commonwealth Games in 2010. She told us that she had been crowned World Champion twice.
