#282the olympic spirit
The Olympics is here again. Its in Beijing this year, since the time is close to Singapore, I have been watching so many more Olympic games. Although I have come to Singapore for so many years, I still feel more patriotic towards China. My mom is talking about Olympic spirit just now, and it sort of set me thinking the definition of that word.
I thought Zhang Yi Ning and Wang Nan has shown it perfectly in all of their games. Initially, I thought they were the unbeatables. Watching the match of Zhang Yi Ning and Sinagpore's Feng Tian Wei is like having asthma. I have always loved Zhang Yi Ning, impressed in the way that she can remain calm and concentrated despite carrying the hopes of the country and so many stressful external factors. She had lost a match to Feng Tian Wei previously in March, and her bat is taken away just before the match, I thought emotionally, she would not have been as strong as her previous matches. She proved me wrong though. She's very strong inside.
Wang Nan has been my dad's favourites since long long time ago. I thought she was nice too, always being so steady and trustworthy, you can see she put in everything to every single match.
I thought that these two are the ideal partners to portray the olympic spirit. I congraulate Feng Tian Wei for her superb performance against Zhang Yi Ning, and put up a good fight. I surely believe that her Olympic jouney won't end here, her marathon is not over yet. No matter who win the table tennis women singles finals later tonight, I think both of them are winners.
"We are strong outside, we are stronger inside. It doesn't take long to win, it takes long to prepare and train."
Olympic is all about putting your best. Like how the handicapped women joined in the olympics, I was so touched by that article. Winning may means a lot, but its yourself you're competiting against.
I will beat myself.
