Reflections on sunday: Last word on China’s Olympics
The Olympics in China passed as the very first games where politics and power play are at centre stage. The Far East super powers and upcoming economies were looking forward to challenge their Western counterparts in the battle of egos, with China, South Korea and Japan leading the way. No doubt that the games were the most competitive ever, with China and group not leaving any room for defeat in their home turf. Me not being Usain Bolt (The king of 100m) or Asafa Powell or even Kobe Bryant, and since I tried my luck writing sports and failed, I was left out and did not go to Beijing but sat somewhere in a Bar, trying not to miss the action.
