The Olympic Games

I can’t believe myself tuning in to the matches of the Olympic Games. Well, actually I can, since the games are broadcast at almost every other channel these days. I am not really a sports fan, but I think watching the games is really exciting. Anyway, I probably only tune in to Gymnastics and Swimming more than any other game, since these 2 are really more interesting to watch, at least for me. For the latter, it is easier to explain since Mr Phelps is gunning for a record of 8 golds, one of which was won today. And, also we have Kosuke Kitajima of Japan looking to retain his title in the breaststroke events. More importantly, our very own Singaporean Tao Li has created history by becoming the first Singaporean to qualify for a swimming final, the 100m Butterfly Final to be exact! Hope she wins one!! As for gymnastics, I think it’s just amazing to watch, especially when they do all these flips and stuff on the horizontal bars and such.

I really hope Singapore wins at least one medal this time round!!
