heroes in a box!

[This is a picture of Lori Strong. She is a hero in Canada.]


RECIPE FOR A GYMNAST
Add iron and steel To beauty and grace Stir in the will to win With a bright smiling face Blend in love For a Sport And a friendship within Fold in bruises and bumps On the surface of skin Mix in soft flowing arms And straight pointed toes With a twist of the head To complete the pose Pour in loyalty and dedication For the rest of the team For the gymnast is striving To fulfill A dream

[This poem is a good artifact for gymnastic heroes becuase in order to be a good gymnast you have to be strong, which corresponds to "iron and steel" and during competitions/performances/etc. you have to have grace and beauty in all your moves, and keep a smile on your face.]








THE POWER OF COOPERATION


C are for each other
O bey the safety rules
O ffer to help others
P lay together as a team
E ncourage others
R emember to have fun!
A ttitude is important
T ake turns
E veryone is a winner
[This poem is a good artifact also, becuase it is some of the basic parts of being a gymnast. like caring, having rules, being safe, having fun, and being respectful. these are some things that all gymnasts have.]




Gymnatics heroes from the 90's:

All these artifacts are different. there is a poem/photo/video/and a link to a few gymnastic heros. Lori Strong was a hero in Canada. she got 4 gymnatics gold metals. and even after falling and fracturing her leg she didnt quit, and kept going and didnt listen to the doctors so she could make it to the competition. The poems are good examples towards gymnastics, and what a true gymnastics hero might be like.

CONCLUSION
Boy gymnasts and girl gymnast heroes.
out of the ones i found on a site. there were more male gymnast heroes than girl. maybe this means that more boys are dedicated to gymnastics then girls are.
