Olympics started on 08-08-08. over the weekend i started to keep my eyes on the TV to watch the various olympic events. There are some events which i never even expected myself to watch. Things like Weightlifting ( China girl lifted the first goal ). Watching Swimming heats , different contestants swimming laps over lap for 3-4 hours against different events ; fencing ; judo ; shooting ; gymanstics ; diving.
My favourite is still Gymnastics , Swimming and Diving. I am totally amazed at the gymansts. Look at those from the China team , and you will understand what i mean. I think the youngest is only 13. To achieve olympic level quality , i think they have to start training once they can walk. These people train from day till night, what happened to their childhood ? Given a choice and talent, will i do the same ? Hah, i dont think so. I need to stay on the computer at least 12 hours a day :P
And in addition, they never give up, sometimes , the competitors fell off the bar, but they dont give up! they just get up and complete the sequence or routine they are supposed to do. All the years of hardwork to prepare for this event will just be on that 1 min or 2 mins on the bar. The sportsmanship and the never-say-no is really something we need to look up to
Swimming is another of my favourite. Men's Swimming, drool and hope i get a swimmer body like that. Women's swmming -> Still thinking about their sexual identity.
Tao Li ( Representing Singapore ) is going to participate in her 100m butterfly in about 2 hours time . Hopefully , she can bring Singaporeans proud by clinching a medal. I will definately stay tune to the TV to watch!
