Olympic

Micheal Phelps won 6 gold in 6 evens he took part, in the same time make 6 new world records. What an amazing achievement! With 12 gold medals so far, making him the most successful Olympian ever and set his name in history book. We should go and see how he manage this. There is somethings for us to learn here.

Now, Malaysian has been promised of RM 1 million for gold winner and so far it has not bring us any yet. There has been serious flaw in our mindset. Not everything can be bought with money. Our government can promise 10 millions if they want to because in reality the odd is just not in ours side. I'm patriotic, I want to see Malaysia in medal tally. But our sports has coming from bad to worse lately and had only ourselves to blamed.

May be we're mixing to much of politics with sports. All the organization have Dato' or Tan Sri as chairmen, reason is they need someone to influences the decisions maker! I've no idea what that mean, may be no influences mean no funds from the government.

Sports should promote fighting spirits, never give-up mentality. Monetary gift or rewards is welcomes but should not be main concern. Nevertheless athletes should not be deprived of they privileges. Special diet, high tech training equipments are expensive, money is needed most in this area. We should be spending in developing the athletes, not just at the finish line.

I don't have a solution for our problems, but hope 1 day we'll produces our own Micheal Phelps, but today, Lee Chong Wei is the only hope we had on gold. Lets hope he'll maintain his performance and his cool so at least Malaysia get to be in the list of medal winner.
