London


what with the games going at full force and have been somewhat successful, i too have been following the events steadfastly, paying close attention to the likes of Badminton, Diving, Swimming, and Gymnastic.

Bravo to Malaysia for grabbing a silver medal in the Games, it´s been long overdue since we last claimed any medals...despite the badminton final match was clearly a ´no match´, i felt inclined to cheer on for our home country.

Team GB in the past weekend have been hauling the medals frenziedly, putting them in third place after USA and China. And considering their size (as compared to the giants), i cant say im not impressed. The press have reasonably gone mad and pictures of gold medalists are made front-page material.

And with London being the next host, i can say the brits are a lil´on the paranoid side, they are dying to perform and to show the world what they are made of! and one way of doing that is to put the current host down...

bad press have been circulating over how the chinese are hosting the games. We all know of the criticism sparked over the opening ceremony where they claimed the fireworks were computer generated, we also know that the sweet lil´girl with the voice of an angel werent actually hers, and so on and so forth over the millions spent to make the event ´spectacular´when the money could have been better spent on the poor...

gosh, bloody poms, why dont they just get a grip? i know the pressure is on but that´s only gonna make London2012 something to look forward to, the bar has been set high! it´s disheartening to listen to biased commentators on BBC and the cruel remarks over how the chinese are training their human robots in an inhumane fashion.
Which athlete wasnt trained young? and tough, for that matter...

Michael Phelps is awesome, how can anyone swim that fast is just beyond my comprehension, he´s clearly out of everyone´s league! inspired somewhat by this great olympian, Ivan and I have been visiting the swimming pool near our house alot lately...just for this Olympic period! everyone feels that a little sport is really something we should incorporate into our daily lifestyle...

i know for a fact that this health consciousness wont last, summer is coming to an end and before long it will be too cold to do anything, let alone stripping bare and exercise!

im so gonna freeze to death in the scandinavia...
