Champion Story Poem by Sian Mein

She was a little girl with a dream Watching champions on the TV screen...
The race of their lives, they'd run
The gold medal desired to be won
You Olympians with your glory and might Did you know you inspired a girl tonight?
She was then a teenager with a dream Aspiring to be a champion on that TV screen...
Ambition engraved in her heart
From the running tracks she'd never depart
Growing in speed, strength, determination
Until the day she'd represent her nation
You judges who chose her, this day you'll never rue Did you know you've just made her dreams come true?
She is now a woman who's living her dream She's the champion on the TV screen...
Head high, face glowing in pride
This moment will never leave her side The honour, respect, and glory
Never thought she'd tell such a story You in the crowd, amazed at her win Today is the day your story begins.
