MAHE ROWING
HOW HE'S CHALLENGED
Mahe Drysdale . . . the worlds best sculler. It was a few weeks untill the olympics were going to start. The selectors needed to select a New Zeland sculler for the beijing olympics . The selectors planed a race between Mahe Drysdale and Rob Waddell. In the first two races Mahe Drysdale ended up losing. But then in the third race he ended up winning by 20 seconds so that meant that he would progress to the 2008 olympics in Beijing olympics. But when he got to the olympics he easily passed through the heats. Then he only just made the semi finals which meant that he could compete in the finals. On the day of the finals Mahe had a serious illness which involed him throwing up and losing 4kgs, In the final he was leading the most of the race. In the last dramatic 250 metres of the race he started to fell really sick and slowed down when the other scullers were quickly gaining on him. He then got passed and then passed again. he was now coming third. Suddenly the race was over and Mahe had collected the bronze medal. He then threw up and the medics helped him. Despite him having an extremly bad illness and still coming third we think he done New Zealand really proud.
