The Ultimate Game
Fifteen days of the Olympics brought a lot of excitements.
Apart from the “lightening” Bolt’s sensational dashes to 100m and 200m finish line in track and field, Shawn Johnston’s sweet smile in the gymnasium and perfect turn and twist on beam, and not to mention Phelps’ sweep of 8 gold medals, the most astonishing achievement of the Olympics Games in 2008 is the number of world records that have been broken. Through these new records, I see the spirit of sportsmanship and the everlasting pursuit to “Faster, Higher, and Stronger”.
It is how and why the Olympics grab so many hearts and souls. The ultimate success belongs to those athletes, whether they make it to the podium or not. Seeing how they compete in the field and sharing their joy, frustration and even pain is a transcending experience―moving and uplifting.
One more day to go for the 29th summer Olympic Games, but the Olympic spirit stays.
London, in 2012, looking forward to it!
