olympics stars

beijing olympics 2008 have come to the end, so sad...... anyway, i shall just recap all my favourite olympics stars.
here are the mascots, so cute right?? my favourite one is jingjing, the one that represents the panda.OMG!!! the newspaper says that michael phelps is not only 1.93m tall, he also has an arm span of like 2.01m!!!!! that's like longer than his body length!!! no wonder he can swim so fast!!!!
and i think i prefer the land god to the water god of the olympics, if you know what i mean. cause i am usually closer to land than water.
more about the water god (michael phelps) from wikipedia, read this:
Five physical attributes particularly suit Phelps to swimming: his long, thin torso (low drag in the water), arms which span 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) (long, powerful, propulsive "paddles") disproportionate to his height of 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm),[12] relatively short legs (lower drag, and perhaps the speed enhancement of a hydrofoil),[13][14] coupled to size 14 feet (providing the effect of flippers) by hypermobile ankles he can extend beyond the pointe of a ballet dancer, enabling him to whip his feet (as if they were fins, for maximum thrust through [if not over] the water).[15]
now you know why he swims ever so fast.
and here are his achievements, from wikpedia.
and of course we cannot forget the land god (usain bolt). our dear dear land god.
here are his personal bests, from wikipedia:
and his 2008 beijing olympics results, from wikipedia, again:
wow!!! look at their achievements, three cheers for the land and water god!!!
i love olympics!!!! so sad, the next one is like in 4 years, what a long long long wait......
