LONDÝNSKÉ SCHODY

Clara Ganci

Londýnské schody is an event/competition organized once a year by the eighth-grade students of Londýnská school.

This year it's on the 17th of October. I am an eighth grader, so our grade organizes it all. Each one has a task to accomplish. It is a lot of work because we have to take care of everything and make sure everything is done well, such as: invitations, posters, name lists and more.

The way it works is that grades are divided into different categories and they compete with each other to win a prize. The goal is to run up 99 steps in as short time as possible. Even parents or teachers can try it. It's quite exhausting but it's a lot of fun!

This is my eighth time that I'm participating in this competition. I personally do not have any tactics but I recommend making big steps so you skip some stairs and it's way faster than running by one. I remember some good timings were between 13-20 seconds.
