Question

At the Olympics in 1928, Bobby Pearce won the gold in single sculling.

He also won the hearts of all those who saw him win.

Bobby Pearce was born in Sydney, Australia. His father was a great sculling champion. Sculling

is a discipline in rowing when the participant rows with both his hands. By the time he was five,

Bobby was sculling around in Sydney Harbour. At the age of six,

he won his first race, defeating fourteen-year-olds. By the time he

was twenty, Bobby was the sculling champion in Australia. The

following year he went to Amsterdam to compete in the Olympics.

In the finals at the Olympics , he competed against Ken Myers from

USA. From the start of the race, Bobby was in the lead. At the half

way stage, he was still leading and it seemed that Bobby could easily

win. Then suddenly, something happened. Bobby heard a shout from

the bank and looked over his shoulder. He saw a duck and a brood of ducklings swimming across

the canal. They were swimming into the course of the boat and the boat was going to run into them.

The poor birds had no idea that they were in the middle of an Olympic race.

Immediately, Bobby slowed his boat down. Myers was catching up very fast. The people on the

shore were urging Bobby to keep moving. However, Bobby waited patiently until all the ducklings

were out of harm's way. Then he picked up speed and went on to win the race easily.

Of all the Olympians, it was Bobby who won everybody's heart. A Dutch newspaper

wrote, 'He's won the goodwill of the children of Amsterdam.

His friends in the Australian Olympic team were not surprised by the incident. ' Bobby is that kind of

bloke', they said.

Bobby Pearce competed in sculling competition for 33 years and retired from this sport in 1945. In his

long career, Bobby never lost a race.​
