We must keep pursuing the ideal. Wonderful that your family can proudly feel such an intimate part of the event.<BR/><BR/>Interesting how the event has come to be and evolved over the years.

His children have every right to be proud as it sounds like an all around event. <BR/><BR/>It's a little disillusioning with the modern Olympics and the fraud, the trying to get drugs without being caught and now the little Chinese girl that is underage but the government helped create a lie to get her in. Not much honor in that but then it's all about winning and the concept of honor and physical excellence is secondary or so it appears. I don't think it's been that way from the past and a shame it is now. I know it's about national pride but seeing anybody do something really well is a joy to all-- or so it seems to me.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
