Olympics Afterthought

For 2 weeks of intense Olympics Games, amazing feats have been performed. 43 World Records have been broken and personal best records set.

The beauty of the Olympics Sports lies where human physiological limits were stretched, transformation of our body embedded with characteristics of diving Fishes, hunting Cheetahs, somersaults Chimps, leaping Kangaroos.

And we applause superhumans to the likes of Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt who need no further mention of their astonishing accomplishments.

In the display and competition among the world's finest athletes, i draw some of these personal conceptions.

1. Physical size does not really matters, longer limps does not guarantee advantage.

As seen in Track and Field events where shorter black African Americans actually emerge the winner. And our own shorter Asia swimmer, TaoLi who came out 5th in the finals of her battles against the Europeans and American giants.

2. World Rankings are insignificant somewhat and can be annulled.

Our Table Tennis player, Wang Yue Gu (ranked no.7) lost to Wu Xue (ranked no.50) of Dominican Republic in the Women's singles 3rd round. Scoring 11-9, 9-11, 11-2, 11-8, 12-10.

3. Man plans, God proposes.

The tendon injury that forced Olympic Champion Liu Xiang to withdraw from his 110m hurdle heat competition, spelling the end of China's best hope for a track and field gold.

Both the US men and women dropped the baton in the Olympic 4x100-meter relays while in the lead and failed to advance out of the first round in the Beijing Olympics.

South Africa's Natalie du Toit becomes the first female amputee swimmer ever to qualify for the Olympics 10km open water race, where she placed 16th in a field of 24 in the swim.

All in all, don't be afraid of the Giants, both in Names and Sizes. Do not take defeats to heart, for they can be overcome. Trust in God; be faithful in your Works. Remember David and Goliath.

And for the first time, i've truly enjoyed the Olympics and realized the beauty of all sport events. Years of training in exchange for the touching moment of glory. Now's the end of the carnival fair as we goes back to our mundane lives :) Looking forward to the next Games Season.
