The sun beat down so hard it burnt his back,

His feet ate the dust as he ran the endless track,
The wind gave him wings and the miles flew by,
He was gunning for gold, for victory he’d die.

Critics had a field day when he entered the arena,
They could have knocked him down with a feather,
“Sideways you can’t see him through a 50-cent coin,
Bones on a cold carcass make up his manly loin.”

“His feet so long he will surely fall flat on his face,
Legs stretch down like two bamboo poles in place,
From the land of famine he gets not his daily bread,
If he wins, we’ll eat our hats,” in mockery they said.

As he touched the finish line, the crowd went wild,
Cheers heard across the land by every man and child,
His heartbeats so erratic they were beating out of time
If he could take a shot at his critics it’d be no crime

i need a few hyperbole's out of this story are these it

His feet ate the dust as he ran the endless track,

If he wins, we’ll eat our hats,

His heartbeats so erratic they were beating out of time

You could add:

They could have knocked him down with a feather,

“Sideways you can’t see him through a 50-cent coin,

Cheers heard across the land by every man and child,

ok thanks

You are welcome.

Yes, those are indeed hyperboles from the story:

1. "His feet ate the dust as he ran the endless track" - This exaggerates the impact of the running on his feet by suggesting that they are so intense that they consume or devour the dust on the track.

2. "If he wins, we'll eat our hats" - This hyperbole suggests that the critics are so certain that he will not win that they are willing to do something absurd or unlikely, like eating their hats, as a form of humorous exaggeration.

3. "His heartbeats so erratic they were beating out of time" - This hyperbole describes the intense excitement and irregularity of his heartbeats by stating that they were not synchronized with time, emphasizing the intensity of his emotions.

Hyperboles are figures of speech that involve deliberate exaggeration for emphasis or dramatic effect. In these instances, they are used to amplify certain actions, beliefs, or emotions in the story.
