Four years past very quickly, I still can remember Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman sang for the Opening Ceremony together, just like the sounds of nature--You And Me.
At that time, I was just attended the College Entrance Examination, and felt it was amazing for the holiday then. That was the first time I know LiuXiang, and then met him in person in 2010 when I was doing volunteer work. I like him very much, though he gave up the competion as broken leg. At present, in London, because his painful leg, he undertake great pressure to try his best, and he did it.
From my view, to go for gold, they spare their whole life to practice and pratice, even six years have not go home to meet with family. I do not want to judge it, everyone has his right to work towards his goal, if we are family, then we will try our best to support him always.
Regarding Lindan, one of my favorite Athelet, good news is he won the gold metal, which makes me happy and excited. I can see how regret of him when lost one ball, then he also very lucky to win the last shot as his rival did the same mistake.
I really think to be a athelet, the only task is win the gold metal, once they made it, then he/she can choose their rest life, no need to attend the competition anymore. And, I trust we need new faces and more young energetic people to take the hard job...
