Olympic

After two weeks, the Olympic games in London have come to an end. I didn't comment on them as they happened but as a package there is a lot that can be said.

As always there were winners and losers. There were people who tried to cheat and were caught. There were people who didn't mean to cheat but were disqualified. The officials made some calls that had people shaking their heads.

There were some amazing moments.

Usain Bolt revved up the big engine and won three gold medals.

Michael Phelps won enough medals to become the most decorated Olympian ever.

Ian Miller competed in his 10th Olympic games. His Olympic campaign has lasted longer than my career will probably last. That is incredible focus and dedication.

The Canadian women's soccer team won a bronze and it was celebrated.

Records were broken and so were hearts.

Some people did their best and it wasn't good enough, at least they know they couldn't have been better on that day.

There was controversy in Badminton. Some players were trying to lose so they could face easier opponents. That may speak to a problem with the tournament structure. However, this is the Olympics. It only comes once every four years and you don't know if you are ever going to make it back. I can't imagine being the person who looks back and says, I didn't do the best I could. That would haunt me.

I like the idea of the Olympics. It brings the world together and makes the world watch. It makes you proud of your country. You get the highest and the lowest. It is a human drama that may or may not go as expected.

I didn't go to London. I may go to Rio. You never know what the future may bring but i'm sure the Olympics will be full of excitement.
