The Ranzau Games 08



It was an exciting day. Ranzau School went down to the Hope Domain for their Olympic Day. There were 8 teams Canada, Holland, Jamaica, USA,Ireland ,Samoa, United Kingdom and Italy. The events were awesome. Everyone enjoyed it. There was 8 different activities. There was the Gumboot Toss, Egg and Spoon Race,Tug of War, a Laver Cross, an Obstical Cource, Run the Gauntlet and a Three Leg Race. Mine and Lincoln's favourite activities are the Tug of War and Run the Gauntlet. The hardest activities were the discus throw and the gumboot toss. Our teams got split into two teams the A team and the B team. The three top teams that got first second, third and fourth were Ireland in first with a massive 394 points, Jamaica second with 382, Canada third with a score of 376 and USA in fourth with 375 points. Overall the Ranzau games 2008 was a really awesome day!!!
