So this will be the 7382628703232083820328820th post on the olympics of the day i guess. why should you read mine then...
i'm not going to help you out with that, offer any justification or plea at all.
Whenever i see the athletes in the Olympics, i wish i was them - such perfection.
I probably think more of the 100m dash winner than the power lifters.
I would love to have such a body.
But i never wish it was me there.
They train year on year, deny themselves everything and then win a bunch of leaves, 15 minutes and no money.
2-3 of them per event get their Nike deal.
But none of them just wants to drink his Pepsi, wear his Reebok and play some basketball like Shaq in his 30 million dollar mansion.
Sports not athletics is where its at!
Power,privilege,luxury and ladies.
See athletics is like basic physics. U dig up basic principles - running , jumping,etc.
Sports are applied research and engineering.
So i'm kind of more enthusiastic about Brazil in football and USA in basketball for a mini world cup of sorts in the olympics, which kind of stretches the Olympic thingie(honestly), than who throws things the farthest.
Kudos to all those who are there but... i could never do it. They are magnificent.

hmmm.. kinda dont agree wid ya.. sports is fun when its 'basic' (using 'basic' itself is a bit ridiculous).. 10 secs of a 100m sprint is more exciting n exhilarating than any basketball or football.. Olympics is d greatest show on earth.. no dispute.. only soccer world cup comes close.. why complicate (applied research & engineering) when simple is fun!
jordan's 6th championship, when he crossesover and stops for a pull up jumper to win what no other basketballer has won.
liverpool coming back from 3-0 to win the champion's league...
10 secs or 100 minutes?
the thrill, the passion, the awe...
i rest my case..
