Early father's day card for me....

from an Olympic Taekwondo athlete!! After the Olympic homecoming parade last week and the kids meeting the medal winners, this guy comes in to the school today to have a talk to the kids as his cousin attends the school Jan and I met him outside as we were heading to netball practice and had a quick chat, not knowing then that he had done an autographed "card" for me!

A nice touch. It seems the kids have met more athletes over the last weeks than you could shake a stick at.....

what a nice story! a lovely touch both from the olympian and from your kids

i didn't see any of the NZ olympians interviewed, but all the interviews with UK olympians suggested they were nice, down-to-earth ppl who worked incredibly hard towards a goal. i'd been expecting them to be very full of themselves, but they couldn't thank other ppl fast enough

I was quite touched by it to be honest, to think my kids thought of it!
