I think that the athletes should decide if they want to go or not, because they're the ones going. I also think that the New Zealand commonwealth team should go because some athletes would most probably like to go to the games.

i think it should be the athletes choice to go.
ReplyDeleteif i was a athlete i would go because it is a once in a lifetime opportunity
Mitchel

ReplyDeleterhiannon
I think that we should go but it's the athletes choice to go if the don't want to.I would go because it might be the only time I can.
ReplyDeleteSAM :)
I would probably go but leave my family behind because if i got hurt i dont wont them to get hurt too

i think nz should participate but it should be there own choice. if i were an athlete i would probly want to go because its alife time oppotunity. :)
ReplyDeletearoha
i think that new zealand sould go to the comnwalth games to show that nz go sport
ReplyDeleteI think to represent our country at the commonwealth games the New Zealand Commonwealth team should go but the athletes should be able to choose if they want to go or not.
ReplyDeleteIf I was an athlete I would go because all the training would be for nothing.

i think that new zealand should go to the commonwealth games to represent new zealnd but the athletes shouldnt have to go if they dont want to.
ReplyDeleteif i was an athlete i would go because it may be a once in a life time opportunity and if i had been practicing for that long i would be pretty annoyed at myself for not going.
Lara :)
I think that New Zealand should go so they can represent our country.
ReplyDeleteIf i were an anthlete i would go because it might be the only time i get the chance to. I wouldnt bring my family because i wouldnt want them to get hurt or anything happen to them.

I would not like my family to go to the commonwealth games i would go myself because there is no point risk your familys life if it was the last chance in a life time there would be nothing stoping me plus my family could watch me on tv.
ReplyDeletei think new zealand should go to the commonwealth games it is a very low chance our athletes would be killed or seriously injured surly they would have some sort of protection.joe
I think the athletes should choose to go to the commonwealth games. If it was me choosing I probably would go because there would be a very low chance that you would be killed.
ReplyDeleteI would not let my family come because they would not have the same amount protection as I would have therefor more likely for them to be killed. They watch me on T.V anyway.
Rose!!!
I think that we should go as as a team but it should be the athletes choice to go and if not enough people want to compeat then we should stay.
ReplyDeleteIf I was an athlete then i would probably want to go but i would not let my family go..

The team should definitely make their own decisions. It will be a experience you wouldn't want to miss (going to the commenwealth games)so I would go for NZ. lots of people dont get to go at all.
ReplyDeleteGeorgie
The team should go but only if they want to.It would mostly like well i mean if would be great experience for anyone that goes. If i was one of the people that got asked to go i would go.
ReplyDeleteNZ SHOULD GO TO THE COMMENWEALTH GAMES!!!!
Erin :)
I would go because it could a good opportunity to participate but players should not be forced to go.
ReplyDeleteHenry
I think every athelete should have a choice whether to go or not.
ReplyDeleteI would go if I was an athlete, because it is an amazing oppurtunaty and I wouldn't want to miss out. I would ask my family if they wanted to go, if they did I would let them and if they didn't I would understand.
I recon that we should go to the common wealth because like Joe said we have a very low chance of getting killed.
ReplyDeleteOr the athletes should be able to have a choice of going as well.
If I was an athlete I would let my family come if they wanted to so if they want they can come and if they didn't they would be able to wacth me on the T.V.
=)
P.S.
ReplyDeleteI would definetly go to the games!!!
egft
ReplyDeletePersonaly i would be sitting on the fence to go to the games but wouldnt let my family go (if i chose to go) like what i said in class.... also as i said in class i would definitly go if it was my last chance to go.........
ReplyDeleteI think new zealand should go to the games as george said in class new zealand are not wimps so we should go and prove other countrys that were not wimps.
Nz should go if we want to!!!! its the contestants choice but personally if i was young and fresh and new to the games i wouldn't go because you could always get picked again so yea i don't mind really. GEORGE!
ReplyDeleteI would go to the commonwealth games if I was selected but I would expect security
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t let my family go because its on t.v and its to much of a risk
