I love that clip! Every time i watch it, i'll almost always have tears in my eyes, and i'll get especially emotional, because it's just freaking touching!!
Apart from strong biasness for the singer, i love the videos they edited for this short clip.
How the athletes cheer when they did their round perfectly, how happy they were when they got their medal, etc etc... just wonderful!!
And of course, since it is edited by Astro or Malaysians, they included Lee Chong Wei when he won against the match to enter the finals!
Heehee, yeah, we lost, big deal, but i'm still freaking proud!! Of course it would be cooler if we win, but the proud feeling is even better than winning!
*waves Malaysian flag*
I love the Olympic games, and it being held in China - despite annoyance at how the China Chinese athletes were at dominating all the games that i often wonder if its because they fengshui-ed it but no its just that they are good - it just gives me a closer feel somehow or rather. I think because one of the reason is because it was held in an Asian country!
I have my favourite sports to watch in the games, but nothing can beat my favourite part in every game - the medal presentation ceremony!
Yes, i'll watch it even if its for the sports i'm least interested in =P!
I know it sounds weird, but i just love seeing the proud and happy looks on the athletes face when they get their medal! Because they know they had did their country proud, and all the hard work of training daily etc paid off when they get a gold medal in the Olympics!
Laugh all you want - I can actually get emotional when they play the national anthem of the gold medalist's country, when the athletes will just stand still and look at their country's flag, sometimes singing along, feeling so proud and all... wow! Super cool! You somehow just feel the emotions the athletes are feeling at that moment (well, perhaps only i do so)!
One which i remembered most is Britta Steffen of Germany when she got her medal! I was so happy for her, i actually teared along because i was so touched!! You can see the look on her face how happy and proud she was, words couldn't describe the feelings that she felt! I honestly feel really happy for her!
It doesn't matter whichever country they are from, i just feel happy for them and proud of them when they get their medal, because they deserve it
That's one thing i love about the Olympics - no racism, you support your country and the best! It's the thing that can bring the whole world together =)!
ps: I don't understand all the issues with Tibet-China, but i am strongly annoyed by the whole matter because to me, Olympics represents sports, togetherness, no-racism etc etc. Most important to me is unity.
In other words, i don't believe you should pull political matters into sports. It just seems more like a gimmick to use the popularity of the sports, something which is watched by billions across the globe, so as to bring to attention to the whole thing.
But seriously... bringing political stuffs into sports just plain annoys me. It ruins the whole meaning and fun of an event which has been going on for years and has such a symbolic meaning. That's me anyways.
