Olympics

So the athletics has started for the Olympics are this is where the true competition is at. Yesterday I really enjoyed watching Bolt win his medal defending his title in an amazing 100m final. Also great to see the British track cycling team dominate the whole tournament leaving all of the other cyclists in awe of them.

It's a shame really at the number of people who dislike the majority of the Olympics, I was talking with some people yesterday and they were saying well now the real Olympics have started and just regarding the first week as a waste! It seems some people think that if it's not athletics then it's not Olympics. I think that is wrong, the Olympics are about the worlds best athletics coming together and competing for the honour of thee country. Although most athletes don't compete in track or field events it doesn't mean they shouldn't be part of the Olympics! You can be an athlete in any sport.

Honestly it must be an honour to compete in the Olympics, I for one hope that one day it would be my turn and one day I could go to Olympics. I wouldn't mind if I lost, just that feeling of representing your country among the world's best. But along with all that comes great pressure. All the media builds you up for greatness and you just let them down the feeling must be awful. That's why I would never want to compete in a home Olympics. The expectation is all on you.

I suppose in this last paragraph I'm just going to say Well Done to all the Olympic Athletes who have competing and those who are yet to compete, even those who lose because "the most important thing isn't the winning but the taking part." A further well done to all the medal winners and the teams from GB USA and especially those from China who are currently topping the medal tables. Enjoying the olympics so far and looking forward and looking forward to see the remainders of the events.
