Sports Days is a special day for all, not because you win medals but more so for the spirit of the game and being the best sportsperson and today the Junior Section of Hainault Public School proved the same. As once Dan Gable — a retired American amateur wrestler and head coach — said, “Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts”, holds quite true as that was what was witnessed today. Also age was not a deterring factor but the thrill and excitement of participation was the scene for the day.
Students from classes Nursery to Kinder Garden had fun completing their Flat, Banana, Frog and Block Races, while the Spoon and Potato and the Sack Race had everyone clapping hard cheering their buddies to the finish line. While the enthusiasm among classes One to Three was equally high as they ran towards the end goal.
