An 11-year-old girl Hend Zaza is the first youngest girl to go to the Olympics of 2020 for Syrian table tennis. “They say unsurprisingly she will go down in history as one of the youngest Olympians of all time.” She has said to be qualified to compete in Tokyo. She defeated a 52-year-old for the women’s singles title.
What would you do if you were this young and going to the Olympics?
I would cry and thank all my supporters for believing in me and pushing me to move forward.
How do you think she felt when she beat the 52-year-old?
I feel like she felt like it was unreal at the moment and then realized that she beat her and that she was going to the Olympics.

Good topic choice but your summary is quite brief and you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 20 points.
I would probably not like it because im only 11 and i would have had to train everyday to get into the olympics but tht excitment of being able to compete agains people way older than me would be nice. I think that she was probably really hopful but also I feel bad for the 52 year old because they just got beat by an 11 year old.
I would think I am some sort of freak of nature. That is an amazing feat and I would definitely train extra hard to keep advancing in my career. I bet that it felt unreal. It would be insane to beat who would be considered a pro at that young of an age. Especially someone who is considered a reigning champion for years.
If I were an 11 year old girl going to the Olympics, I would be absolutely ecstatic for the opportunity. When she beat the older competitor, I’m sure she was jumping up and down and very excited. If I were in her shoes, I’m sure I would try to remain calm, but with such a big achievement, I’m sure it would be difficult to restrain myself.
