I Like Watching The Olympics

I ran in the 1924 New Zealand Olympics in Scotland. 100m backstroke.

@Classified It was just last week...

@JennaBug *confused* 😂
Anyway did you win?

@Classified Came 3rd, but just got in ahead of the winner in a photo finish. It was a shame though because 2nd beat us both 😕

@JennaBug Those 2nds always ruin it for 1st and 3rd. 😑

@Classified Yeah but it's okay... Somehow the entries got all mixed up and it turns out I entered twice. I was also the 2nd place getter. Just think if I'd entered 3 times I might have got 1st 2nd and 3rd.

@JennaBug *rubs eyes* 👀
I could just mix up the form. There is no way people will notice that. Only you'll be 1st now and 4th next year.

@Classified No. Next years race has already been run. I didn't enter because it will be held in Paris, Japan and I couldn't afford the airfares on the boat. Luckily though, I came in 5th, just behind the loser and won the race. I'm really sorry I couldn't run because it was the best swim of the meet. But I'm hoping to qualify for the next race last month.

@JennaBug You're way better at this than I. 😜
The qualification for last month's race is in three weeks. That means you still have a half year to train. Make sure you don't finish before 3rd place otherwise you can never win.
