Winter Olympics February 10-26, 2006
>> Monday, March 06, 2006
The winter Olympic games came to an end a week ago in Turin, Italy. I have always enjoyed watching the Olympics, be it summer or winter Olympics. It is great to see the Olympic spirit among the athletes. I think sports are the best way to bring the world together and forget about all the acts of terrorism and war that has become part of the day to day news these days.
As always there had to be some drama surrounding these games. This time it was between Shani Davis and Chad Hedrick of US speed skating team. I personally support Shani Davis in his decision, not to pursue the team event. He became part of history by being the first black athlete to win a gold medal in winter Olympics, winning the 1000 meters speed skating race. The other event which I found a bit odd was the silver medal for Sasha Cohen of US in spite of her falling twice in figure skating. Anyways who am I to judge!
I wish one day India too has an Olympic gold.....
Looking forward to the summer Olympics of 2008 at Beijing!!!!
