Curtains Fall: Beijing Olympic Games 2008

29th Beijing Olympic Games come and go
Started off with a wonderful opening ceremony
Went on with an exciting turn of events
Ended with an incredible closing ceremony
The standouts; we'll now see

Usain Bolt, Jamaica - too fast, should go for doping test
Usain Bolt took to the tracks
Was vying for gold with Tyson Gay and Usafa Powell
Bolted his way to 100m gold with a new world record
Bettered that feat to 200m gold with another new world record
Teamed up to win 4 X 100m relay; another gold and a new world record

Michael Phelps, USA - too gay, should check his swimming suit
Michael Phelps looked like a gay at times
His swimming feats throughout the games sure were gay
I lost count of the records he manage to break
The fact that he hauled up 8 gold medals
And won the 100m with a 0.01s margin; the silver medal dude sure dulan

Some participant I forgot who, N/A - the splash was like...LOL
Women synchronised 3m platform dive was great to watch
Not that they looked hawt or beautiful as some looked like crap
It's the precision of their water entry that was mesmerising
Something which one of the participant didn't achieve
She spinned in the air as she dived but didnt make it in time; landed horizontally like LOL

Liu Xiang, China - from hero to zero
Liu Xiang was the face of Chinese athletics
World record holder was vying for gold in 110m hurdles
In Athens he was in no-man's land
In Beijing he was a hero
Took off his shirt before the start as if he so man; then abandoned his run due to injury :(

USA Dream Team, USA - how many MVPs in that team kan...
In basketball there's the USA dream team
Humbled to a bronze in Athens
But Kobe and crew dunked their way to gold this time
No teams got within single digits against them
Hosts China got knocked out in the quarters; Yao Ming cant wait to get back to NBA action

Lee Chong Wei, Malaysia - silver nia nvm...got Datukship leh!
And of course there's Lee Chong Wei in badminton
At times looked unstoppable in his semi against Lee Hyun Il
Then met Lin Dan and his partizan crowd in the finals and LCW's face was as white as dough
Played like an amateur and got destroyed by the lo siao face Chinese 12-21, 8-21
It was so terrible that 12 + 8 isn't even 21; but if Badawi happy with silver can liaw lo

And so China was the overall champion
Not surprising as they were the hosts
2012 London Olympics is next up
Hopefully Chong Wei will play better for gold next time round
But he just got himself a Datukship; Datuk Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan sounds like a gg
