The Beijing 2008 Olympics has come and go and the road to 2012 London Olympics started.Last night closing ceremony marked the end of this year's main event,with stars like Leona Lewis performing and England's own soccer icon David Beckham.
Now let's take look at familiar names that made an impact in this year's Olympics.Swimming superstar Michael Phelps from the USA won a record breaking 8 gold medals in a single Olympics.He took part in both single events and team events,which also shows that he got both skills and teamwork.''I'm sleeping in.I'm putting on weight.And I'm not going to care'' says Phelps.Just what's next for him?
Now to Jamacan sprinter Usain Bolt who broke the Olympic record at 100 metres event at 9.69 seconds.People say his speed is as fast as a bolt of lightning !Usain Bolt also clinched the gold medal at the 4x100 relay.Next to the flops,team USA didn't do well this time round in track and field while Cuba's boxing's standard seem to have drop.
On the other hand,Brazil men's football clinch its gold medal even with star player like Ronaldinho.Was the hot favourites under too much pressure?China's hurdles king,Liu Xiang was eliminated during the heats as it shocked the whole world !Chinese fans were all in tears.
Also scandals like boxing bitting on the shoulder and taekwondo kick to the referee who received three stitches on the lower lip was absolutely hilarious.Bitting your opponent's shoulder?Are you Mike Tyson's disciple?HAHA That kick from a spilt second could eventually cost his whole taekwondo career.
Another frequent question was Chinese gymnast He Kexin underaged?14 or 16?Let's wait and see then.No matter what,all athletes should be rightfully awarded as they tried their best.
Let's head to home news as Singapore finally won a silver Olympic medal after 48 years.The table tennis team,leaded by captain Li Jiawei and members Wang Yuegu and Feng Tianwei did team Singapore proud.
However before they can either celebrate,a controversial decision was raised by Singapore Table Tennis Association(STTA) president,Lee Bee Wah who allegedly said she would be sacking manager,Antony Lee and coach,Liu Guodong for neglecting table tennis player Gao Ning.Just what exactly have they done wrong?Don't you think that this is injustice?Overwhelming response were made by furious Singaporeans as their mood were dampen even before celebration.
Now Ms Lee denied saying what's mentioned above,this is ridiculous !
Also,people seem to have forgotten about the English Premier League that started a week ago HAHA !
