Athens OLYMPIC round-Up!

Oh no!!! Susilo crashed out of the Olympics! Darn! and it was a good chance for him to get a medal since all the top seeds were out... guess it's not meant to be... but yeah.. could see from his face that he was very tired... ther ewasn't this *sparkle* or fight back or anything... but yeah... too many times, the shuttlecock just bounced off the net... Sianz..

Singapore medal hopes are now on Li Jiawei... Haha.. couldn't stand her Jap opponent yesterday... Her opponent was yelping and screeching at almost every point and it was annoying~!~

I lurve gymnastics! but only watch the women's competition... see how graceful they can be... my fav apparatus is the uneven bars... yeah... mainly cause Svetlana Khorkina of Russia is known as the 'Queen of Bars' Haha... she's gunning for her 3rd consecutive GoLd on uneven bars... but seems like she's facing some tough competition... I liked her since Sydney 2000... Lurve her gracefulness and the fact that she has managed to become a successful gymnast even though she is 1.64 m.. too tall for a gymnast... I think she's a 5 time European all-round champion or sth... Not to mention this is gonna be her last Olympics... I hope she will do well in the Individual all round and for the uneven bars finals... Jiayou!!!

And yeah... tennis... Justine Henin Hardenne from Belgium is on course for her 1st Olympic Gold after being out of competition for the past 4 or 5 mths... She was down with a virus infection or sth.... but there are still tougher opponents out there... I like her cause she's short for a tennis player but she can still outplay her taller and more powerful opponents! Way to go Juju!!!

Hmmmm... i just realise i admire ppl who can outdo their competitors even though they are physically disadvantaged... (Like Khorkina being a tall gymnast and Justine a short tennis player...)

But yeah... so i MUST mention this.. last night's amazing race!!! Charla and Mirna got eliminated... can't say i like them a lot... but i really take my hat off to Charla... She set out to show the world that despite being struck with a form of dwarfism, she is still able to go all out and compete!!! I admire her courage, her tenancity, her strongwill and everything... but can't stand her team-mate though... really cannot make it lar... it's like she's always whining and moaning and to a certain extent, she pushes ALL the roadblock that she doesn't want to do to Charla... I dun remember her doing a lot of Roadblocks... Charla did the eating choco, went underground and ate ostrich egg... and Mirna sort of 'forced' Charla to choose the Roulette detour in the very first episode cause she seems to be some addict... Yeah... and i din like the fact Charla made use of her dwarfism to get airline tickets first...

And i think Charla and Mirna keeps thinking that the other teams look down on Charla's handicap but it does not seem like the case... They feel tt other teams are up to no good and everything.. and Mirna was b*tchy enuf to ask the ticketing guy not to give the rest of the groups any tix.... Seems like a very malicious person lor... But not tt Colin and Christie were not at fault... but yeah....

Later they are showing tennis and gymnastics on TV!!! Yay!!! yeah.. betta go do my research and hw first...
