The Olympic Spirit Lies In All Of Us - And We Have Mostly Starhub To Thank.

it has official ended. the olympics. the fire that used to burn at the top of the bird nest in beijing has been passed on to london. alright, let's talk about it...like i'm some kind of sports/travel/humor/news/crap reporter who has nothing better else to do.

BEIJING - JING BY THE BAY
that did not make sense. but it's like cause 'bei' is pronounced like 'bay' so...please laugh to make this a not-awkward situation. alright beijing has hosted the best olympics. period. seriously. look at it. the amount of cash they spent on it. and the security and all that. but it looks like the athletes are either not having much sex as they used to or they are doing it but not safely. did you know that the host country provides the athletes free easy-to-get condoms. they had like provided 130,000 condoms this year. that's a whole load of nightly activities going on in the olympic village. hm, but on a bright side, the olympics was really great this year.

OLYMPIC HEROES
alright, there were many olympic heroes. but i'll just talk about some of them only who i want to talk about.

Yelena Isinbayeva
it'll take you four months to pronounce her name, and another two to spell it without having any references from the net. she's simply one of the hottest athlete's around. her sexy abs, her russian eyes, her thin lips, her long slender legs and that great hair. she's by far the best female pole vaulter, breaking the record 23 times throughout her entire career. and she's only 26 years old. another olympics for her? she won the gold this time round (no surprise). though i'm not too sure whether she can break her record again, she might win the gold again. i hope so. the way she flirts with the crowd and all that when she wins. you go russian lady.

Lori 'Lolo' Jones
you have got to feel something for this 26 year old lady here. lolo who was the favorite to win the 100m hurdles, did not make it sadly. why? she clipped the second last hurdle on the way to the finish in the finals. that caused her to drop from 1st with a 1 second gap to a disappointing 7th. hearts really went out to her. well, at least i know mine did. hm, i always saw her with specs, but without shades, she looks better. all the best for next olympics. you're still the best. and you're sexy if you don't mind me saying. gorgeous lanky fit sports woman jumping about at a fast speed. com'on which part of that doesn't sound hot?

Susanna 'Sanna' Kallur
another favorite who didn't make it. this beautiful swedish clipped the first hurdle on the semi-finals and the look on her face could break even the coldest of hearts into tears. that was so unexpected. she's probably the most adorable looking sportswoman i've ever seen. you know she has a twin sister? yep, she's jenny kallur. but not that good looking as sanna. hm, she's also like a not so tall, not so short built. but she looks fast. and she's gonna be faster. also another hot sports girl.

Micheal Phelps
this man is great. the greatest olympian to be exact. 8 gold medals. 7 world records. mark spitz was great, but micheal phelps has shown the world the great swimming god he is. he has brought the USA a great deal of medals and pride. btu seriously, pit him against ian thorpe. ian didn't compete in all when he used to be competing but if he did, i would suspect the american would find it challenging to beat thorpe. but anyway, he has so far 14 gold altogether. holy shit...

Usain Bolt
the world's fastest man on the planet. on...the...planet. just imagine being given that tittle. usain bolt has earned that right. and this guy is just ridiculously incredible. he awed the world by winning the 100m sprint in world record fashion...with ease. he slowed down a few good 10 metres plus away from the finish line to celebrate his win. and the 100m sprint wasn't his forte. he showed off his skills in the 200m sprint - his event to lose. but when he was running for it, it wasn't entirely for the gold medal. a day earlier, micheal johnson had said that bolt would not be able to break the 200m record as 'he is not ready'. bolt heard this and sprinted for the record that was supposedly impossible to break. he did it in 0.02 seconds. he is in a whole different class of his own. and what style he has. idolise him. for he is a legend in the making.

HAVE TO MENTION - SINGAPORE
singapore got one silver. but i mean...alright guys, you know where i'm gonna get to. they are from china. this is a wrong message we're sending to the youth of today. 'it's okay...do your best. if you can't, don't worry, we'll get foreign help to help us succeed.' alright, it sounds weird. anyway, i mean, yeah they are good, they do something for singapore. even other countries do buy talents and stuff. but i mean, are we so hard-up for medals? but then again, we must see what are the views of the athletes themselves. would they want to fight for their own countries? or for the countries that feed them with money? and look at our first medalist. look at it. tan howe liang. i'm sure not everyone knows about it. i'm not even sure if i got his name right. he's still alive. but i mean, he's like forgotten. he's the first and ever true blood singaporean to win a medal but all of a sudden he seems to be over shadowed by people who were just here for a year or two. it's abit too late. in a time where pop idols are everything now, it's too late to go back and witness the old age reign. though tan isn't a A singaporean, he fought for it. but if you look at it, there is like no singaporean. cause indians came form india, chinese came from china, malaysians from malaya. etc etc. this is turning out to be a social study topic. we have young singaporeans born in singapore being groomed to be sportsmen. however, foreign talents are stealing the media away from them even if they are not winning. just like the commentators. 

OVERALL
the olympics was great. i really loved it. will london do as good as the beijing. well, i don't think so. but we'll just have to see what will happen. so four years time, in london, witness it all over again. but if you can't wait, and as long as it's olympics, there's the winter olympics coming up in 2010 in vancouver, canada. yep, or you could just keep yourself up to date with the IAAF prix. yeah, so until then, good yoz and be me mine...what did i just say???

Culda

P.S. if this blog happens to be like unclear or not precise during the arguments or whatever, it's cause i was sick/disturbed by friends/restricted under the law of censorship...whatever bongos.
