Beijing Olympics 2008

I can't remember if I was as crazy 4 years back. But since 8 August 2008, the TV in my house is switched on almost 24 hours. My family and I are constantly keeping up with the matches. Perhaps it's cuz this is first time Singapore team got into the finals.

But of course, besides table tennis, there are also many many other interesting matches. And there are of course, many 风云人物 which left a deep impression in my mind.


TOP 3 ATHLETE

1. Lin Dan - No. 1 Badminton player from China
He thrashed Malaysia No. 2 Lee Chong Wei 21-12, 21-8 to win the GOLD in Beijing Olympics last Sunday. Think a left-handed player is weak? Lin Dan's speed is simply amazing. Suave, isnt he?

2. Michael Phelps - No. 1 Swimmer from America
WAH, he seems like water god and swim like a fish. I have already lost count how many golds he won this time round. The 1st runner-up is practically a distance away from him. His build is really a born swimmer!

3. Usain Bolt - No. 1 athlete from Jamica
This guy is totally nuts. Perhaps he always have to run away from lions, leading to this incredible speed. 9.69seconds from 100m race. I think his speed is equivalant to a somebody driving a car man! Broke his own record - fastest man in the world.

MOST THROW FACE

1. Liu Xiang
This guy withdrew from Men's 110m Hurdles due to 'injury'. Well, i dunno if it's true anot. but the whole world is there to watch him and support him. Rumoours have been said that he back out due to a powerul competitor who nearly won him during the semi-finals, and in order not to throw face, he back out. Well, i think at least do give it a try right? Nick sir is right, he has no balls!

MOST EXCITING:
SINGAPORE VS CHINA WOMEN'S TABLE TENIS FINAL
Well, i got hooked when i watched singapore vs korea match. And although it was obvious that china is gona be the winner, but im sure many singaporeans watched eagerly for the match. See, even PM Lee's speech is postponed. What a big news!

AND,

from this oylmpics, i get to know 女子精英.

1. Zhang Yining
How can anyone not know about this No. 1 table tennis player man. Her sibei fierce and attitude look is the killer man. No wonder all teams wriggled under her hands.

2. Feng Tian Wei
WAH! Mai Siao Siao leh! Same age as me, yet she already has such a high achievement. Tianwei is the saviour to Singapore's Silver man. She saved 2 balls during the korean match. whoo! but well, whenever she gets nervous, she always didnt manage to hit it right, leading to many balls losses to China. but well, she certianly has the potential man.

3. Li Jia Wei
And of course, after the open relationship with ronald susilo, she became a hot topic. And esp when the couple just seperated not long before olympics. I can say she really did us proud! hopefully she can beat zhang yining next time! but why does she always have to raise her leg when she start ball leh?

4. Wang Nan
She looks like typical ah lian doesnt she?

anyway, congrats to both singapore and china! actually the six of them belong to the same 祖国. (just wondering if the spore team sings china's national anthemn during prize giving anot? haha) And both their coaches are brothers! WTH right.

wow time flies! today marks the end of bejing olympics 2008 already! that's so fast! wonder if london olympics will be as interesting...
