Hi Lottie
ReplyDeleteGreat facts about Australia and I love that you chose Eliza McCartney as she did so well at the Olympics last time and has been so plagues by injury this time around. She is really demonstrating her resilience. What surprised or impressed you the most?
Hi Lottie,
ReplyDeleteI remember watching Eliza McCartney at the Rio Olympics on TV, achieving her bronze medal. Australia are most definitely very successful at the Olympics, and you have noted some pretty impressive facts. You have done some great work here, do you know if Eliza has any other amazing achievements during her sporting career? I hope you enjoyed learning about her and some Australian Olympic facts.
