At the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, the sport of canoe（赛艇）racing was added to the list of　 international competitions. The favorite team in the four-man canoe 1  was the United States team. One member of that team was a young man named Bill Havens.

    As the 2 for the Olympics neared, it became clear that Bill’s wife would give 3  to their first child at about the same time, so Bill  4  himself in a dilemma（左右为难的困境）．Should he go to Paris or should he stay at home with his family and  5  about the Olympics? After all, competing in the Olympics was one of his lifelong  6 .

It was sent from Helsinki, Finland, where the 1952 Olympics were being held. The telegram  20 :“Dad, I won. I’m bringing home the gold medal you lost the chance to win while waiting for me to be born.”
