Anyway, I have very good memories about something similar we have here. Losing or winning, we had excellent moments in sports and cultural competitions. I considered this lesson kind of challenging for me. And even though some words may have been covered previously, repetition is part of the learning process and I believe it to be extremely important. Mata! :cool: I believe the girl exaggerated a bit, unless there were only two runners in the competition.
