Sadie and the shot put


Well, it looks like Sadie has figured out an Olympic sport that works well for having one frond (cactus arm) – the shot put! She was super excited that Michelle Carter was the first woman in the US to win a gold medal in shot put in the Olympics. I haven’t told her how heavy the actual shot puts are…the women’s shot (the ball is called the shot) weighs 8.8 pounds (4kg) and men’s shot weighs 16 pounds (7kg) – and Michelle Carter threw (put) the shot 68 feet (20.63 meters)! That’s as far as 14 squares of sidewalk…wow! Sadie has some training to do!
