Olympical sized disappointments.
The annual school Sports
Day turned into a day of pink faces and red bottoms
at St Steven's Primary in Beak Street this year,
slammed by its own organiser Gavin Gammon as ““really
disappointing” actually.
Gammon, a former gold medal
wearer and world champion running-man stormed
out of the school grounds after the day's sporting
in “a big rage” really quite fast.
Newly appointed as the school’s
Head of Games, ex-family man Gammon had hoped
to bring the international competitive spirit
he had enjoyed with fellow Olympical-sized sportsmen
and women to junior level.
Grouping
the kids together by their ethnic origins, Gammon
tied them to running machines and trained them
to outlast each other over longer and longer distances,
hoping that by racing them race against race the
kids would be up to the 26-mile marathon standard
by the big sporty day.
However, when the day
came Gammon found himself in big trouble with
the little ones’ parents after two of the
children died at the big 8 mile mark and 12 others
were admitted to a small hospital suffering from
tiny leg exhaustion.
Mr Gammon handed in his resignation
immediately but has already taken up a position
at the Early Learning Centre in Diss, teaching
babies to snorkel.
Ron Pickering, the late great
Olympic commentator (pictured), has totally failed
to comment. |
