Day 198 – My Gold Metal Speech

Wednesday August 4, 2021

Someone asked me why the shopping cart push was not an Olympic sport. 

Frankly, it is beyond me, given all the wacky sports they have that I’ve never heard of before the Olympics.

I used to think it was silly.

Now, I’m all for it.

Better than lots of other things young people could be doing.

So, in my training, I think it is important to focus on all aspects of the sport. This includes “The Speech.”

I am speaking about the gold metal acceptance speech. So Here goes:

“This has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. I am honored. All the hard work and dedication paid off. I couldn’t have done it without my family. They are my biggest supporters.”

Here is my Silver Medal Speech:

“I am pleased with this award, even though I fell short of my goal. I think I represented my country well. I thought my last push had sealed my victory, but the judges disagreed. I am disappointed, but I’ll be back in four years.”

Here the Bronze:

“Wow, I am pleased beyond words. The competition was really really good. I did not expect the Germans to do so well. I was also stunned by the Sudanese, whom I don’t think have the fields or equipment for this sport. It was great and I am pleased to have done so well. I will be traveling the world for the next four years as an ambassador for the sport. Some want to make this both a summer and winter sport, which would be fantastic. I hope the committee considers the application. Winter shopping cart pushing is a whole different level.”

Here’s the 4th and below speech:

“We did not do as well as we had hoped. Obviously, I’m disappointed. The coaches are disappointed. It’s frustrating to have trained so hard and not to even get a mention. I think the Russians were using some trick grease and I hope the committee examines that. There is just no way they could do what they did without having a small motor in their cart. We’ll see. Peace out.”
