Hollie Arnold's Paralympic diary - Week 2

Grimsby-based javelin thrower Hollie Arnold is in the Great Britain team for the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing. She completed a diary for BBC Humber about her progress, experiences and thoughts during the games. Read the second entry of her diary.

Hello!

It's Hollie again. I'm here now arrived at my training camp in Macau. It's so nice. A lovely place so many things to see.  

The weather is so hot. It's hardly training weather but it's good.

My feelings at the moment are really nerves. I'm dreading competing but I went training yesterday and I usually throw about 33 meters and 32 meters, but I got 36 meters. I was so SURPRISED, I'm looking forward to competing.

I'm going out on the 31st of August to be classified in Beijing, that's to see about my disability. So I'm looking forward to seeing Beijing, so you can catch up with me very soon. I hope you will watch the Paralympics.

Bye
