a giftI watched the badminton final between the two Chinese ladies till 3am in the morning. I didn't know the 27-year-old-loser to the 33-year-old winner is Lin Dan's girlfriend, the man's finalist for badminton tonight.
Despite the toiled bent body postures of both ladies trying to win the gold medal, the loser showed glimpses of beauty that have been put aside for the sake of trying to be an Olympic champion. Her worn out physique and shapeless short hair due to the many thousands hours of toiling in the badminton courts.
To the many participants of the Olympics, it must be a big relief to finish the competition one way or another. So many hours of training in concentration camps, away from family and friends ie. away from your living your life for so many years. Strict regime on diet for years!!! So no wonder you see Tao Li going after ice-kachang after her finals.
To the teen gymnasts, I really hope they do get something for their future in exchange for their lost childhood.
To the weight lifter who has dislocated the shoulder, I wish you well.
To the sore-est loser by 1-hundredth of a second, Milorad Cavic, 2nd to M. Phelps in the Butterfly final. Moral of the story for Cavic - Mass (fingers) travels faster outside the water.
Must sports be like this? Must Olympics be like this?
