Rainy Olympics

Wow, it seems like apart from being in the same time zone as us, Beijing also faces the same climate condition as we do here..

Over at the 'Bird Nest' stadium, the tracks are all wet and rain continues to pour while the track and field events take place. One Russian athlete had slipped in the moist sand when jumping to score a medal for his country! Well, after so many days of Olympics watching, of course I do know where all the good-looking sportsmen come from.. ermm, having said that, I do appreciate the sports they play as well, heehee!!

On the whole, USA has all the eye-candy, both girls and boys, both in the water (Michael Phelps) and on land (Gymnast Nastia Liukin).. It is funny to see how some atheletes have the required physique catered for the specific kind of sports they play. High, long, and triple jumpers are all tall and has the longest legs u ever seen. Weightlifters, wrestlers are of the average height, but always stout looking. Then the gymnasts, petite in frame (just like Papa D, hahahaha!) but their strong arms and legs can easily lift me off the ground and swing me in the air, like a cowboy whirling his whip!

I was watching the women's 800m, 2400m, and 10km marathon race with my mum the other day, when both of us spontaneously brought up our history of being long distance champions.. yes, both ANNIE MUMMY and me have been running during our school days, and have respresented our school in some of the major sports events. But looking at my mum now, and then myself, who would have believed our achievements in running years back?

Maybe I should start running again after giving birth? not in competitve events of course, but more like a leisure, keeping-fit kind of exercise rountine.. and I will grab ANNIE MUMMY to come along with me! When's the next BIG WALK now eh?!
