Human Race at its best !
Here comes the quadrennial show displaying the BEST of human race. The conglomeration of over 10,000 athletes from over 200 countries will showcase the best in terms of human limits, both physiological & psychological, in all possible sports.
We will see the fastest, the mightiest of our era among us without the prejudice of Race, Faith, Color and Place.
It’s not about blabbering of ‘I’m the best’ but the opportunity to showcase ‘Who is the Best’, a blatant display of Skills, Determination & Human Vigor.
I’m enjoying every moment of it, and if you ain’t then revisit the glorious games our times. Let’s all enjoy the brilliance of Men & Women of our times.
Guyz, you can keep your mockery for some other time, open one more thread and enjoy bashing and get is back too :)
Spare the sports out of it, if you know it!
...sana...
It will start on Aug 3, brit. Meanwhile you can watch an Indian driver this afternoon in Formula 1 (3 o'clock today).
Brit, no need for reminder, we all know those 'conning' 100 yrs of British adventures there and other places,
Do you want me take you back few more centuries when the socalled advanced nation today were living in dark ages and Indians were teaching mathematics & philoshophy?
can we now get back to the games ...
The shooting and archery were fun to watch, but can't wait for the track and field to start.
Abhinav Bindra was the ONLY gold medallist in Beijing 2008 (10 m air rifle). That's approximately 0.0000001% of the population.
precisely in 1936 olympic
LP, even Hitler, like you, once upon a time, had the same Idea about 'his' race supremacy but got a fitter reply in time,
you’ll too get your doubts clear, have patience!!!
And billiards :O)

Instead they taught them cricket. Ouch!
So, the British failed in India, brit. They should have introduced the 'mens sanum in corpore sano' concept of the Greeks (In a healthy body lives as healthy mind).
Australia has only a few million people and yet produces world class sportsmen.
The simple answer is that it requires major investment including sports at schools, academies, qualified coaches and facilities.
and Jamaica with a tiny population produces far too many medalists.
It is not understandable how a country with a population of more than a billion people cannot produce Olympic winners like China does. Does it have something to do with race?
Sorry I thought Pakistan were better at Hockey than India, even Germany, England and Holland. I thought the India team only took part for the half time orange.....
Human race at its Best for Time west
Even hockey. Probably you need to study more on INDIA.
The Olympic Games give us the chance to celebrate our shared humanity..and the object of the competitors should be by performing fairly and honestly to the best of their natural ability..:)
I like Indians, long history and culture, except not in running, jumping or throwing. I guess if its not cricket it's not sport for Indians!
shakti & co, MIMH is not a qatari, and he's for sure not a 'she'. Well, this is my guesstimate but I seldom go wrong :)
Moza loves Indians and i love moza (qatari female) for his love for Indians. :-P
…..and the exhilaration of Chinese who won the FIRST swimming gold,yesteday.
Ryan Lochte destroyed Michael Phelps in the 400m individual medley.
moza loves indians a lot.................:)
ok what's with the sexual abuse thing popping up right here?! the title reads "human race at its best"??
MIMH, the Eternal Naysayer, your concern(?) noted; don’t worry about Indians for the moment, enjoy the games!!
Actually thinking about it, the Olympics is very racist. Where are all the Indian winners of gold medals? I'm sure the IOC is handicapping them.
moza they were once white their skin got burned due to practicing for the 100 mtrs
I wonder for the conscience of people who ‘love’ watching beach-volleyball but refrain sending their teams for the reasons beyond sporting.
(its general note, not intended to my QL friends, posted above)
That was racist too. Lol.
coz whites dont have tat much of stamina to run...:(
but it is racist, only black people are allowed in the 100 meters!
it already started :)
3 matches yesterday :)
I enjoy watching the Women Beach Volleyball ;)
On serious note, I love the Olympics for the very same reason. Its the celebration of Humanity.
Hear hear...
Can't wait for the 100m and especially the Beach Volleyball to begin.
