So we got a Silver for table tennis.. .
Coool.
No sarcasm there.
I honestly think its totally awesome that we have a silver under our belt. i mean sure, it'd be great if we got say...a gold, but the truth remains that we went in, did our best and came out with some shiny metals..
Isn't that what the Olympic Games are all about?
Its not the reward its the endless pursuit of excellence.
In the true spirit of athletcism and sportsmanship there isn't a reward. A reward would constitute to the end of the pursuit. Why bother after that? Nobody wants to know that they're the best. They want to feel invincible, unbeatable. The only way to do that is to keep moving. The harder you push yourself the harder it is for someone else to push after you.
Singapore in its essence is fucked if it thinks that true victory is a shiny metallic element.
China is the largest populace on EARTH, and for the better half of our astronomical history, this part of our galaxy. Victory was to make THAT monster take us seriously.
I was in camp when i heard a few old farts snigger at the silver medal we earned today.. .
"Cheyy.. . only silver. I know we cannot make it one.. ."
The good news is the two guys who said this were around 60-ish.. . so that means that they're going to die soon. Good.
Natural selection is beautiful.
The Nathan Show takes its hat off...takes one step foward.. and salutes our olympic Heroes.
You're pretty much the only thing we have left in a world thats more intrested in cashing in on medals rather then nurturing them..
God Bless.
