Just saw some gr8 actions in Olympics today. The sportspersons, the fans, the flags of different countries... oh it needs a whole day or even a week to explain it. Lemme put in all that I saw in these small paras.
I could feel the pressure on the sportspersons to perform well. Every time a person wins, they noy only get medals, awards, recognition etc... but most importantly they get thier National Anthem sung and their National flag to be risen.... One could feel their body language which carries the entire nation's responsibility and expectation on their shoulders.
The fans... I saw a cycling race today and it was won by an Italian. After the game was over, the winner was taken for an interview along side of the road. I saw a hardcore cycling fan just listening to the winner's talking in a manner that he started chewing his bubble gum in full tension and full speed. He was more excited and thrilled than the actual winner. I could feel that the fan was more happy that his fellow countryman won it. I am sure I didnt put the essence of what I saw today. But still couldnt resist blogging.
The range of games I saw was Boxing, Cycling, TT, Badminton, Swimming and shooting. All sports are unique and having different styles on their own. One more thing notalble thing was that in the hoardings that display the olympics symbol, it was written "Welcome Back" signifying that Athens hosted the mother of all Olympic championship. Its gr8.
One more important thing... Hats off to DD sports for such excellent coverage. Thank God no pay channels got the rights to show olympics. Otherwise we ppl at chennai would be very sad on missing such actions.... Hope the Indian crew bring more medals.... Happy Independence Day!!!! JAIHIND.
