At the recent adidas sponsorship launch, 20 twelve-year-olds were invited to take part. As part of the day they each wrote a summary of their experiences - the best summary to be published on this website.
So here's our winner: a poem by Adebisi Alakan, Hackney Free & Parochial C of E Secondary School...

Last week I was so privileged
We tripped our way to Millennium Bridge
To meet a load of Olympic trainers
And grab a free pair of Adidas trainers.
They’re the ones funding the Olympic Games
And they introduced us to sports stars of fame.
We sprinted our way to the finish line
Our feet were light and our hearts were fine.
Allyson Felix and Tyson Gay –
They made it into a happy day,
We met the chairman, Sebastian Coe,
And our feet started pounding when they shouted “GO!”
Adidas are popular so they drew in the crowds,
Deservedly for 100 million pounds…
That’s the amount they’re sponsoring
Those ancient Games with those five great rings!
Thank you Adidas for the best day ever…
It’s a memory that forever I’ll treasure…
Good luck Britain in the Olympic Games
Put all the rest of the Universe to shame!!
