Double Disappointment



My two dreams for Beijing 2008 Olympics were first, to see Malaysian win the first gold medal and second, to witness Liu Xiang fight against the best of the world in the 110 m hurdle at the bird nest. Unfortunately, both dreams shattered. Lee Chong Wei failed against Lin Dan. Liu Xiang pulled out due to injury. Sometimes, expectations and realities always seem to be on the different directions of the path of life. Despite his pulling out, Liu Xiang is still supported by the people of China, commoner and country leaders alike. With the support of 1.3 billion of his fellow-countryman, Liu Xiang will surely find new motivation to get well and fight again. Perhaps for Chong Wei and other athletes representing Malaysia, we need to extend our undivided supports and encouragements for them to succeed in the sports.
