More sporting achievement for Björn

Björn had sports day at school today. He competed in the javelin and 200m events. He was wearing his new javelin spikes for the first time and didn't throw as well as he has been lately - perhaps he still has to get used to them. Nevertheless he finished second in this event.

The event he didn't expect to do well in was the 200m. He was up against a county runner and has never excelled in the 200, but was the best in his hall in his year, so he went out to give it his best shot... and won! He beat the county runner going away, and finished in his best ever time of 26.6 seconds. We were delighted and John promptly set him the target of beating his own best times for the 200 and 400 by the time he's 18. He has already beaten my best time for the 100 and 200, as you would expect, but the 400 he is still outside my best - but then, that was my best event.
