The Beijing Olympics 2008 started with a loud bang which shook the whole world on 8th Aug 2008 8.08pm (Beijing's time).
I watched the live telecast from the tv at home.
Since then, I have been following some of the competitions, especially some swimming heats, weight-lifting, 3m springboard diving etc.
Michael Phelps continues into an uncharted zone where nobody has ever scored so many Gold medals in Olympics. He broke many World Records too. He swims better than a shark!
What amazed me was the weight-lifting! A woman of weight probably 70kg, could lift up weights of about 130 to 140kg. This is almost double her body weight. Look, only ants can live up things heavier than themselves.
The gymnastics competitions are also amazing too. The sportsmen or sportswomen are as agile as "monkeys" on the bars. Their body weights do not seem to be an issue to them at all.
For the 3m springboard diving, China sportswomen performed extremely well. They synchronized so well that I thought what I saw was split images of each other.
I see humans continue to challenge to the extremes. I can only say "AMAZING".
