What is Jonnie Peacock's background?


Jonnie Peacock was born in Cambridge on May 28, 1993.


At the age of five he contracted meningitis, which led to him having his right leg amputated below the knee.



He originally wanted to play football, but his athletics prowess was soon discovered during his time at school.

How has Jonnie Peacock's athletics career worked out?


Jonnie Peacock set a new 100 metres world record in amputee sprinting in  June 2010 in the US when he ran an exceptional 10.85 seconds.


He won Olympic gold for the first time in front of a home audience at the London 2012 Games, when he ran 10.90 secs in the 100m T44 final.


Incredibly, the Cambridge runner then defended his Olympic crown by winning the 100m at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, even bettering his London time with 10.81secs.



Following his success, he was chosen as a host for the 2018 Winter Paralympics on Channel 4.

how to run turtle graphics in Colaboratory

how to run turtle graphics in Colaboratory Given that we can do other types of drawing/visualization in Colaboratory, I would think running turtle graphics would be pretty simple (but not so simple I've figured it out!) I can import the turtle library, but I get the following error when any draw command occurs: TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable Thanks in advance. 1 Answer 1 I think P5.js is your best bet.
