Post #1 (Wee Teck & Wen Hui) We think that Mr Kunalan has sportsmanship because instead of only thinking about winning, he considers the right things to think about and do before, during, and after each competition.

We think Mr K is determined because even though he started out late, he still persevered and trained for competitions, sometimes after a long day of work.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr K is resilient because he overcame many challenges even though he faced difficulties.  For example, even when he did not have running shoes, he continued training barefoot.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr K is resilient because he  did not give up easily for example during his secondary school sports day, he was never chosen for the race until Mr Retnam took pity on him. After coming in 3rd place, he worked hard and the following year, he got in the 1st place. Each time he faced a challenge or difficult situation, he was positive and picked himself up again and made an impact in other ways that he could such as the time when he had a heel injury.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr Kunalan is resilient because he would often train even after a long day at work and only took short breaks. Moreover, he did not own a pair of spike shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr K is a good athlete because he displayed strong sportsmanship. He remained friends with Dr Jega despite having lost to him in the Asian Games in 1966.

# data[].attributes.body
We think Mr K is resilient because he continued to train hard despite not owning a pair of shoes. His training mostly took place after a long day's work.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr K is a resilient person because from what we read, he overcame many challenges even though he faced difficulties. In lines 45 to 47, it is stated that he trained barefoot because he did not have proper running shoes to wear. From what we know, a person who does his best to overcome a challenge even though he may face difficulties in doing so, is a resilient person.

# data[].attributes.body
We would like to keep to Post #1 because ours is too awesome.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr K is fearless because even though he faced top athletes, he did not back down from running the race. There was a lot of responsibility on his shoulders as his family, his coach and fans were looking up to him so he fearlessly ran in the race even though it would have been very nerve-wrecking.

Post #2 (Sharon and Shawn): We would like to keep to Post #1 because being resilient would mean not giving up easily despite all the setbacks and obstacles/difficulties and this was shown in the text. Furthermore, Pair 5 and 6 agreed with our post.

Our friends agree with the quality and we have CCs to back us up. We think that Mr K might have been thinking about how to run his best race, how not to let his supporters down, how to feel before the race (see lines 61-66), what to think if he loses.

Mr Kunalan is resilient because he would often train even after a long day at work and only took short breaks.

We would like to keep Post 1 because we felt that CC justifies the quality. Based on Pair 9's feedback and after consulting the dictionary, the definition of resilience is the ability of people to feel better after something unpleasant or to show toughness.

# data[].attributes.body
We think Mr K is determined because even though he started out late, he still persevered and trained for competitions, sometimes after a long day of work. As compared to Jega who had gone to the Rome Olympics @ 16 years old, Mr K only started competitive running when he was at 21 years old. This shows that Jega had 5 years more experience than Mr K. That's why he showed determination to be able to compete with Jega on the same stage.

We would like to keep to Post #1 because the examples quoted demonstrated the most important quality.

Mr K is resilient because he would train even after a long day's work and he had to run barefoot for some time before he was finally given a pair of spike shoes.
