Healthy competition promotes a sense of pride and accomplishment; but never arrogance and over-confidence. I believe that, in general, great athletes have a more open outlook on life than the rest of us. Their physical struggles give them emotional endurance as well as a feeling of calmness during times of crisis.
It is a great national honor to host the Olympics. China stands to gain substantially this year by exposing to the world their culture, their lifestyles, their economic and political standpoints, and all their other human potential. It brings closer their dream of becoming the next superpower. China is selling and the world is buying Brand China.
We watched yesterday as Michael Phelps took his 9th gold medal in the 200m free style swimming. I guess everyone expected that. What they did not expect was Natalie Coughlin taking the gold in women's 100m backstroke swimming, beating the favorite Zimbabwe's Kirsty Coventry.
Also, yesterday all Indians rejoiced at the victory of Abhinav Bindra (in shooting) and India's first individual olympic gold medal ever. Hopefully this will help in turning things around for Indian athletes and they will find the encouragement and support they need to succeed at this level.
