Yes some people do wait a lifetime, but thank goodness it came in ours. The Beijing Olympics have been a wonderful success, some even billed it as the most successful games ever. Well, that's always debatable, and you know what they say. The Best is Yet to Be.
Ok, well I know it's not much, but here are some of my most favourite moments of the games:
- The men's 4x100m Freestyle relay. My goodness. That one had me on the edge of my seat. Alain Bernard led on the last leg by more than a body length, and anchor for the US team Jason Lezak had an impossible task on his hands. I suppose impossible really is nothing. Lezak chased down Bernard, the world record holder in the 100 Free coming into the race (which at that time was actually already broken by Eamon Sullivan of Australia in 47.24 in his leadoff leg) and beat him by 0.6s. The US win after trailing in the last leg, and Phelps says 'thank you'. Tell me how is that not amazing.
- Usain Bolt's victory in the 100m. Jacques Rogge can say all he want, this man is amazing (but sorry he isn't as amazing as Phelps). He started celebrating even before crossing the finish line, and still managed a world record.
- Ahhh the day when the table tennis women made us all proud. Our first medal in 48 years. Congratulations.
Now we wait for London 2012.
