Olympic Glory

Every Olympians vie for it really hard and so for them Olympic glory means greatness and national pride and of course celebrity status beyond compare. Athletes who are world breakers and victors in the action packed Olympics fights not only for their selves but for their country. For them Olympics means sports superiority and medals.

Olympics Powerhouse like USA shines in every competition and as usual they rules with authority. Unexpectedly, new players in the powerhouse club like China and Korea are doing their best performance ever. Both countries are proudly represented by their Olympians.

Unfortunately for other countries who had been participating in the Olympics for a long time, it is shameful to note that their Olympians remains underachieving and always struggling going up the rocky road of Olympic Glory. Surely, underachieving athletes eats the dust because their competitive ability is below par, emotionally and physically unprepared and worst of all underachieving athletes lacks full support from their government.

And to add insult to injury, underachieving countries send their contingent to Olympics where sports officials with their families in tow and staffs outnumber their official list of athletes. Obviously, they go with their athletes not to cheer on them but to visit the host country’s premier sites and important places at the expense of tax payers’ money.
