Some people have lost all sense of reality when Singapore won silver in the women’s table tennis.
I mean, don’t take anything away from them. They put in the hours on the table and gym and worked very hard for the games.
But, are you interested in becoming the Chelsea of asia? Let’s be straight up here, we bought that medal. Are you proud of getting the achievement? Not me. I’ll be proud if it’s a Malay/Indian/SingaporeChinese who won the competition.
If you want foreign talent so much, why not naturalise Usain Bolt or Wallace Spearman or Micheal Phelps or Muna Lee or better still, rope Liu Xiang in as well. Geez! We’ll dominate the medal standings at the end of the day! Not only that, Singapore will be the proud owner of Olympic records set by Usain Bolt and Micheal Phelps!
Fact is, we have talented athletes who are interested in being masters in their sport. We’ve got talented sprinters, footballers and what nots. Groom these athletes and send them for competitions.
He’s bigger than Becks and he’s expected to bring the gold medal home.
Everyone’s talking about his withdrawal from the heats due to injury. They were all shocked and in tears. It was understandable BUT the expectation and pressure on that poor guy is simply ridiculous. I believe that played a huge part in his downfall.
He’ll be 29 when the next Olympics come. Can sprinters compete at that age?
I’ll be at home the whole month long to catch the Olympics! I’m very much interested in football, archery, triathlon and most of all, athletics. I must analyse their technique because when it comes to running, my form sucks. I’ve been told that I tip toe most of the time when I do long distance, which isn’t good for the legs. Sheesh! I’ve gotta work on that and pick out other useful tips.
I’m an ardent fan of Arsenal. So of course it’s disturbing when your players go head to head, using the media to gun each other down with stinging comments. I just love the way this guy handles the situation.
You have someone snapping at your bloody heels, just ignore that bastard and pretend he doesn’t exist. He humiliates you in front of the whole world, just take it on the chin. He physically whacks you, you bash him up back. Okay, I was kidding on the last one.
But on a serious note, I feel that it’s important that wherever you’re working at, just don’t let morons like these get in the way of your work.
