~First day of olympic comp~

It was my first olympic heat. I was keen. I was excited. It was the 100m freestyle heat. I was competing against some of the best swimmers in the world. I had no expectations at all. All I wanted to do was give it all my best and my all. I was excited because I got texted form all my family wishing me good luck.

Good luck babe x

I was so lucky to have such an amazing family to support me and now boyfriend

**Rhys's POV**

After sending the text to Amelia, all us boys went into the gym ready to watch Amelia's first heat. I was nervous so was Eric. Eric was pacing up and down the hall. It was funny to see, all the boys knew he was nervous so they gave him shit for it. Before they got announced out I posted the photo of me and Amelia. I posted: I'm so incredibly proud of Amelia Hipwood you should be so proud of yourself! Swim well tonight. I wish I could be over in Rio to support you but I am supporting you from home xx

After posting that it was time

**RHYS'S POV**

"SHE DID IT" Eric yelled coming and hugging me. "Our Amelia did it!"

"She sure did" We both hugged each other. I was proud. She was going to be interviewed soon so we all sat back down and listened.

"Well Amelia, you are the fastest qualifier after both heats and you are going to swim for gold. How does it feel?" The interviewer asked Amelia

"I can't believe it. I thought I was coming last so I slowed a little but i honestly can't believe it." Amelia laughed
