Ever since the 1996 Olympics when Onyok almost won the gold medal, I've been addicted to the Olympics. I don't consider myself the sporty type but what I like about the Olympics is the opportunity to see various countries gather in one place, different cultures meet and interesting personalities interact together. The Olympics is still very important as it is a shows that despite the differences of all the people in the world, we can still find a common ground, a place where we can all find peace.

maganda talaga kahit anong sports na fair ang laban, walang bayaran,politics.

ang mahirap talaga ayusin ay yung mga sports na kailangan ng referee o officials like boxing etc etc na malaki ang effect sa results.
unlike sa for example archery, kahit pa lagyang ng referee ang sports na yan if the shot was legal,made during his time to take a shot etc etc what can a referee do para dayain ang resultang kitang-kita na ng lahat. alangan gawin niyang 8 o 7 points lang ang 9. haha
