Aussie Pell SHINES in Singapore(LA assignment)!

It's a blur of movement!No,its superman!You all are wrong!It is the Australian cyclist/biker,David Pell!You can read about him and his feat on the newspaper dated 23rd February 2009 in the Home section.I think this is a character-driven story as the newspaper article just revolves about David Pell in about 80% of the sentences that were written by the journalist who went to the event.
Overall,I think that David Pell is a good sportsman as he did his best in the competition and pushed himself to the limits.Mind you,he summoned all his strength and sprinted past the leaders at the last part of the race.Even though he did this,he did not jeer at the bikers that he sprinted past.This is a good example of humility.
He cycled the whole race,mastering the wet conditions to ride home at 1 hour 28 minutes and 16 seconds.The whole race distance was 2km but Pell paced himself very well to win the OCBC Elite Criterium Crown to dash past the leaders in the final part of the race.Why?Because there was a sprints classification,something like a race within a race,whereby bikers accumulated points within 5 laps for a bonus of S$5000.Even though Pell tried to get points,he failed.Still,he could dash past the leaders in the final part of the race!
When the journalist interviewed Pell,however,I was pleasantly surprised as his words did not show a sign of any arrogance but instead humility.
This is what I think a role model of a sportsman should be.He or she should have sportsmanship and not jeer at other competitors they had defeated.Instead he or she should be humble and not let the success get into his head,thus making him proud and complacent.Through this,he will be sure to fail and fall into oblivion.Others may even despise him for his actions and snobishness!
Budding sportsmen should take David Pell as their role model.In my opinion,David is truly the role model over the rest of the sportsmen,of course,not because only of this achievement but his character.Unless he goes the path of Michael Phelps...Then,my opinion of him will change completely and forever....Until then(hopefully it will never come),these are my good opinions of him...
