[edit]Career

In 1998 Adams first met former javelin thrower Kirsten Hellier, who would become her coach for the next 11 years.

Adams first came to prominence when winning the World Youth Championships in 2001, with a throw of 16.87 m. She followed this up in 2002 by becoming World Juniorchampion, throwing 17.73 m, and had her first taste of senior success winning a silver medal at theCommonwealth Games with 17.45 m.

She finished fifth at the 2003 World Championships at eighteen years of age. At her first Olympics in 2004, Adams finished eighth, while still recovering from anappendectomy she had just weeks before the competition.

The following year, Adams earned a place in the international elite, winning a bronze medal at the World Championships with a personal best throw of 19.87 m, and going on to finish second at the World Athletics Final. At the 2006 Commonwealth Games the 1.96 m-tall athlete won the gold medal, breaking the 20-year-old Commonwealth Games record of 19.00 m with a throw of 19.66 m.

In 2007, Adams went to the Osaka World Championships as a favourite to take a medal due to her being one of only three women to throw over 20 m before the championships. In qualifying, Adams led the field with a throw of 19.45 m. Adams held second place behind Nadzeya Astapchuk throughout the final, but responded well in the last round with a mammoth throw and Commonwealth record of 20.54 m to take the gold. This made Adams one of few female athletes ever to take IAAF World Titles at youth, junior and senior level.In 2008 Adams broke the Oceania record in winning her first World Indoor Title in Valencia (20.19 m). At theBeijing Olympics, she qualified for the final with the longest distance thrown, 19.73 meters, on her first attempt. She won the gold with a throw of 20.56 m, a personal best, beating Belarussian thrower Natallia Mikhnevich. It is the first Olympic gold medal in track and field for New Zealand since John Walker won the 1,500 meter race in 1976. She also won the New Zealand Sports Award of the year in 2008.

At the 2009 Grande Prêmio Rio in Brazil Adams won the competition with a new personal best andOceanian area record of 20.69 m. The throw was also the world leading distance for the event.^[2] In August, Adams won at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics in Berlin with a throw of 20.44 meters, ahead of the German Nadine Kleinert and Lijiao Gong of China.

At the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships she was defeated by Nadzeya Ostapchuk by a large margin, in spite of the New Zealander setting a continental record of 20.49 m.^[3] Adams announced on 28 March 2010 that she would no longer be coached by Kirsten Hellier after an 11 year partnership.^[4]In April 2010 she announced her new coach was Didier Poppe.^[5] She was consistently beaten by Nadzeya Astapchuk in the big meetings that season. She set a meeting record and season's best of 20.37 m at the Athletics Bridge meet in Slovakia, later saying that a change in her technique that April had begun to pay dividends.^[6] Later that season she won at the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup with a season's best mark of 20.85 m and also competed at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, where she set a Games record mark of 20.47 m to retain her title. In late 2010 Jean-Pierre Egger took over as her coach from Poppe.^[7]

How chocolate is made

Chocolate  is made by one little flower.The flower get pollinated by a small insect called a midge. Fruit pods start to grow and it takes 6 months.The pods have to be cut by hand.When you open the pods and you will see cacao beans.The cacao beans go into a small box and they are left to ferment. Then they are put into a bigger box to dry in the sun.

Then the seeds are roasterd for 3 hours. The seeds are grounded with sugar into cocoa powder.

The powder is melted to chocolate on the heat. Then the choclate in put into moulds.

Now you have chocolate.
