On Friday the 5th August we had a special guest come and talk to us about winning two Olympic Gold medals. Hannah's poppa, Dick Joyce, shared with us what it was like to win Gold in rowing at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico and the 1972 Munich Games. Mr Joyce shared many stories about his Olympics journey with us. He brought in his oar for us to see, it looked very heavy.
He also very generously handed his medals out for us to all hold and look at. Thank you Mr Joyce for coming and talking to us about your Olympic achievements.
Leave a comment below with any further questions you'd like to ask Mr Joyce.
Here are some photos from Mr Joyce's visit.
