Within the Olympics, there have always been the pros and the cons as to how we see this. What I find aside of the monies and all the banter that goes on within most of the sites. The Olympics stand for something, which is more about the challenge of the athlete. I was very taken by the last winter Olympics – it was done within such a way that I could relate with. Yet as we approach a time which these games are taken on for a within London. There has been much that has been placed into this. As well, there is a huge history of a city, which hosted the games for the third time. Most games within the past with the exception of a few have broke e
ven. There is a thought that the Olympics are redundant. I honestly believe that this is one of those areas, which have been an event that has endured the test of time. The rewards are within the city, which hosts the games. Yet the amount of athletes which train day in and day out just to reach the chance and opportunity to show their skills and win. Yes, this competition has brought us so many athletes. I can only think of the athletes, which I would have not come be interested if it was not for the Olympics. Ali – the one that floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. Sugar Ray Leonard – the one within a lighter class within boxing which really was one that to see his hands were a blur, which was fascinating. The last time I really did consume the Summer Olympics was within 1976. As a kid I was driven by Nadia they Romanian – gymnastic flair. While I was training within Aikido and my own goals as a kid. Here was a young athlete that I could relate too. The agility and fluid movements done so fast were certainly something that brought a push for me to raise my own training to a higher level. I would sit as a kid in the front of the television and in awe see someone, which had carved her body into a symmetrical manner. There were not many within those times, which were ripped as Nadia was. Sure she was only 13 yet she took those games and if there was one that came out of them defining the 1976 Olympics one of a couple but that of a few – Nadia took the entire games by a storm. One tends to forget names yet no one ever for gets the impact. It’s true that we live in very different times since that – yet the Winter Olympics in British Columbia brought about a return of interest within the games. I would dare to say the Vancouver with a theme – “I Believe” brought the Olympic flair on why? Maybe we wished to have a rest of all, which we had seen within the past, and to watch completion between different athletes was better than watching anything else.There are some tremendous sites and new technology that one can enjoy these games now.
From the Volerdromes, to some other tremendously neat technologies there competition and the pursuit of the best is still the merit from all the countries which are apart of these games. The costs certainly are something, which are questioned. Yet within these times which we live in, I believe that it still comes down to the athlete.This shall be probably the most secure Olympics we ever have seen within our time. Yet that’s the cost to enable the Olympics. I look forward to a British theme of what made the Winter Olympics so pre
valent around the world. As well, I look forward at an era of athletic competition. The new “Mo” Ali’s and Nadia’s. There is something to be said for the ceremonies beginning to end. As within the art of athletic competition the time and amount hours for years before these games start. There are those exceptional ones, which are within the “backyards” of their countries training to a manner, which takes a dedication which most of us would never experience. The vision of these games is not far from the one of the past yet within a traditional English manner which has had the experience of hosting these 2012 Olympic Games for three times.

ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the Women's Basketball. Six of the players are from a local college in CT, UConn. The head coach there (Geno Auriema), has turned out some of the best players in the world, and he is even coaching the Olympic team this year! I have met most of the players there since 1995. I guess you can tell I'm a fan, lol....
