Its another Olympic year and I'm already excited to watch the games as they unfold. Watching athletes in action makes me proud of being an athlete my self. I can understand and appriciate the hard training that an athlete goes thru jusy to be able to attain their goals. I'm particularly looking forward to watrch the Judo competitions and watch my fellow Judokas as they show their prowness as they compete for the gold. Too bad the Philippines is not qualified to send Judokas to the Olympiad but atleast we dont make claims we can't keep.
There is one NSA (National Sports Association) here in our country who twice claimed that they will be the first ones to bring home a gold medal for the Philippines but failed. They couldn't even bring home a bronze medal. I'm not even gona mention which sport this is but I really wish that they either should put up or shut up and put their money where their mouth is. They already made this claim in two olympics already and I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same this year.
I would support our athletes all the way but I am not happy with people who think their the best when in fact their not. But nevertheless, I am proud of our athletes who tried their best even if they don't win any medal. Sports are all about overcoming yourself and recognizing your strenghts and weaknesess and making sure that you do better next time. After all, the true battle of an athlete is within him self.
