Well we have witness some terrific actions in China during the first 2 weeks of Olympic Action where Michael Phelps won his first event in his Quest to beat his compatriot and Living Legends record of 7 golds in a single Olympics which is held by Mark Spitz set in Munich 1972 Olympics. Micheal Phelps began his journey with 400 Individual Medley event which he set the fastest time in the Heats with and Olympic Record and he followed it up with a World Record in the Finals and achieved his first of 8 medals. then Phelps followed it up with a Gold in the 4 x 100 Freestyle Relay where France almost beat the United States but with the anchor of United States swam the race of his life to win a Gold medal and doing so have cleared the hurdles of Michael Phelps as he was the lead off swimmer in the 4 x 100 freestyle...
In the next day , it was the 200 Freestyle where Phelps again set the pace in the Heats and Won it in a World Record time. The next day again was headlined by Michael Phelps as he have 2 event in this day which is the 200 Butterfly and 4 x 200 m Freestyle Relay finals, and the amazing thing is that Phelps won the 200m Butterfly whit a malfunction to his goggles and still win in World Record Time.. later was the 4 x 200m Freestyle and he swam the lead-off again just like the 4x100 freestyle and gave the rest of the swimmers in the 4 x 200m freestyle a healthy advantage that they would take and beat the previous World Record time by 4 and a half seconds.....
Then Phelps took a day off as he has no event on August 14 but swam in the qualifying heats and he came back at August 15 and win the 200m Individual Medley in World Record Time... then in August 16, he won the 100 m Butterfly in a Olympic Record and by a Whisker to American-Serbia swimmer Milorad Cavic. In winning the 100 Butterfly, he have equaled the Records of Mark Spitz in a single Olympics and he won his 8 medal in the 4 x 100 Medley Relay.
Phelps is truly amazing to say the least....
the most amazing thing was the pull out of Liu Xiang decided to pull out with a pulled Tendon, the amazing thins that the pulled Tendon is the same tendon that have been bothering him in the past 6 years; my question is why it wasn't fixed with an operation after the Olympics in Athens 2004 ?.. the reason why he pulled out is because of the Tendon... i can also say that he was pressured with the tremendous added pressure that was set to him by the Chinese Government and His Coach.... Why push the top athlete when he isn't full recovered from his Stained Thigh 3 weeks before the Olympics ..... the Expectation of the Nation of China was put to his shoulders and it have made his performance deteriorate.....
Malaysia performance in the Olympics Badminton was simply AWFUL .. Lee Chong Wei didn't even tried his best... i was wondering whether he will tried his best as he have been saying to a Malay newspaper that the Gold Medal is worth as much as HIS life... and the PERFORMANCE in the Finals against Lin Dan didn't show any effort in Chong Wei part..... i think he should commit suicide as his failure.... and i don't know what Malaysians are happy with a Silver Medal.... Malaysia surely knows how to find way to celebrate a loser coming home.... Lee Chong Wei have promised to WIN the World Championship later this year and i can safely bet that he will not WIN it as Lin Dan can only get BETTER rather then backwards....
I may be a Malaysian BUT there's no Malaysian that i think is good enough... Nicol David is DOMINATING an event that's not and Olympic Event but loss out in events like the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games as Nicol David have chocked in International events rather the thriving in IT. Malaysia also have a god Bowling Team but Bowling is also not an Olympic Sports.... so there's non that i think I can be proud of .. If there's any i would say it would be the Track Cycling as they are good enough to challenge the World.
