Olympics has dawned upon us again! the amount of records being broken at this olympics show one thing. Humans are getting better. Take heart in that, for there will be a time, where humans will bestow upon themselves, immunity to humane viruses and diseases, the perfect body. The grit, determination and sheer professionalism in their chosen field, has left me starstruck on numerous occassions. Be it archery, swimming, gymnastics, judo... they all have one thing in common. Everyone is a winner.


Olympics to most people, is merely the largest sports convention in human history, but as i read the newspaper earlier on this week. How many actually look past the outer-laying, the superficial olympics? Olympics is meant to celebrate and commerate unity of nations. It was depicted beautifully, in the article whereby a Russian woman, hugged a Georgia woman. both were on the podium. they did it in a demostration, a physical outcry to Russia and Georgia respectively, to end the war between them. Though it is unlikely, let us take solace in Didier Drogba. Who united Ivory Coast, through soccer.


Olympics is by far the best sports event i enjoy. But let us take it with a pinch of salt. lets look beyond the sports, and enjoy olympics, for the original flavor it was created for.
