Athens 2004 Olympics Comes to an End...

so long never update this blog liao... the 28th olympics in athens already finished on the 30th of august... singapore can't even get a medal, it's really very SAD... singapore has been waiting for 44 years for another medal, but the hopes clashed into nothing again... hope that the next olympics in beijing would be hauling an olympic medal for singapore...

the best performers in the olympics are the badminton and table-tennis players... they put up a very good show in athens and i am very proud of them... especially ronald susilo and li jia wei... both of them beat the world top-ranking players and managed to enter at least the quarterfinals and even the semifinals... they really put in a lot of effort in the quest for a medal in athens, but maybe the lucky star isn't shining very brightly yet... maybe it would shine very brightly in 4 years' time...

what makes me very angry is the performance of the swimmers... they are amongst the best in southeast asia and now they can't even stand a chance in qualifying for the semifinals or even the quarterfinals... i think they have wasted so much time in preparing for the competition and ended up failing to break their own personal best times...

this year's olympics shows the great emergence of asia to be the sports pwoerhouse... china had more gold medals than the sydney olympics in 2000, hauling a total of 32 golds in this olympics... japan also improved a lot, clinching about 15 gold medals (can't remember the exact numbers)... i think the next olympics would be a very exciting one... i'm really looking forward to the beijing olympics... the official website for the beijing 2008 olympics is up:
