I was springing up when Alain bernard won his gold medal in 100m swimming. I was moved when our Handball team won the same medal and outraged when I noticed that Jean michel Lucenay of Men's team Epee was deprived without any justification of his gold medal by chineses judges...a shame! Our Mountain bikes teams have dominated as it was desired. You did not disappoint your country but otherwise, for the others whose didn't win any medal or final qualifications, you stay in our hearts as big heroes...
...and we all respect your sense of sacrifice, courage and dedication for your sports!
The symbolic range of these Olympic Games really helped me to exceed my limits in the gym. The amazing athletes records drove me days after day, in a more stronger way.
These OG have revealed the talent of 2 men that we should discribe as aliens: Michael phelps and Usain bolt:
Micheal Phelps, a U.S swimmer has really dominated the swimming competition catching 8 gold medals and blowing up every time a world record! He is one of this man who created dreams for decades...
Usain Bolt is such a man. He has brought jamaica at the rank of the sprint country, in front US! Remember his 100m sprint, at the end, in the last meters he decelerated and moved aside arms and however, he broke a world record...easily???
In spite of criticisms against China about the violation of human rights and the Tibetan affair, these games were exciting. However I regret that they took place in such a climate of censure. China is not ready to include in its principles our founding declaration of "liberty and equality"...
ps: today sept 11th 2008, I get a thought for all the missing persons of the terrorist attacks, already 7 years ago...
still congratulations to the athletes of any countries...

I especially admire those athletes who excel in their sport while at the same time going about their regular jobs as teachers, engineers, firemen, policemen, or others. How they balance their work and their sport is a great achievement.
Hey Bob, I liked your today's post...thankyou very much for sharing your thoughts with us.
My olympic hero is the marathon swimmer N.du Toit. She became # 4 by swimming with only one leg. A real hero!

That's so true Bob, they are the real heroes. It was very motivating (and refreshing) to see the Olympics playing on the TV screens of the gym instead of the usual TV crap (from which I try to look away). Especially in those final moments when you crank out the last bits of energy during an HIIT session it's inspiring to see these guys or just think about them!
