On Monday morning, Room 8 held its cross-country race at the local park. The course was 1.2 kilometres long. Students ran past the playground and around the back field before finishing near the waka sculpture. Sam crossed the line first, and his time was 6 minutes and 45 seconds. The teacher said the event went smoothly, and parents clapped as each runner finished. One student commented that cross-country is the hardest sport in the world.

Which sentence from the passage is an opinion?
