RM20million for 2 medals
Finally the curtain closed for London Olympics and for malaysia, it's a repeat of 1996 achievement of 1 silver and 1 bronze, but now it's from 2 different sports.
From our government's point of view, their investment has reaped, I mean RM20million. This is official amount, I'm not sure if there is unofficial amount.
My concern isRM10million per medal, is it that elusive? I wonder if Grenada spent that amount of fund to produce the 400M champion.
was the fund properly channeled to our sports team?
Sailing & Fencing
We are glad that we at least had representatives in these sports when it didn't really gets sufficient support from government.
Swimming
Having Chai Ling and Heidi Gan, may make up the numbers, but for pool swimming, we used to have more than 3 swimmers in Y2000 and 2004 but reduced to 1. Open water is an eye opener and getting into top 15 for the 1st ever time itself achievement
Shooting
Our mum to be, wanted the record and show the women power. For me, though we expected her to gt knocked out at early stage, but her mental was strong enough to shoot with a new life in her womb.
Cycling
Road cyclist proved they are not fit for international level. But why did we seed them to London then. They couldn't even finish the race proper. The track cyclist, Azizul, took over from Josiah for sprint and played the fool at the 1st round which got him to be knocked out in quarters. For Keirin, wrong strategy cost him a medal.
Archery
We could have been in medal contention if we were more focused for men team, when we lost in close gap to mexico.
Badminton
Who else to carry the burden if not Dato Lee, but he proved his recovery from 1st round till finals. Perhaps, Kien Keat and Boon Heong, could have been more serious as medal contenders, as Denmark, China and Korea proved too strong for Malaysians.
Diving
We expected medal from doubles men and women, but single medal from Pandelela was a surprise. It's time to focus on diving more and to kick out the anak angkat from china whom fail to perform.
Gold remain illusive for us when Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uganda, can get their gold medal.
Let's wait and see if Rio de Jeneiro could the place to land on our elusive gold medal.

Historic Medal
If Lee Chong Wei created history by defending the silver medal, National Diver, Pandelela Renong became the 1st woman and non-badminton sportsgirl to win a medal in Olympics.
She grabbed the bronze medal in 10M platform. Most of them lost hope on diving after poor performance in previous six events. But she came through all odds to win the medal.

Treat for treatment
Nasi Kandar shop and Ice cream shop promised all malaysians to offer free food/ice cream, should Chon Wei wins gold medal. BUT even when he looses, they still offer free food.
Is it a treatment for the treat. I just wonder if we would have won gold medal, would TGIF or Chilis offered us the treat.

I just wonder, by appointing immatured person as team leader and expecting the rest to respect her is damn stupid. I'm fine to say sorry not because I lost or surrender But because I respect teh relationship.
It's the same even if you are the finance director, you still need to respect and appologetic too. If you want to be racista nd support your own race mistake. One day you will be in deep shit and nobody going to give a damn about you, even yopu receive 5 figure salary.

Loss the match but Won the heart & mind.
After nail biting game he lost and surrendered to the superiority of Lin Dan. It was a repeat of 2008 Olympics final. This time Chong wei ws more prepared. It was more agony for Chong Wei, who had to play second fiddle to Lin Dan yet again, losing 21-15, 10-21, 19-21 in a 79-minute thriller.
Chong Wei already created history by winning 2 Olympic medals. It would have been better if he would have won the gold medal.
I never missed the final matches involving Malaysian since 1992. But yesterday, I was travelling from Kuala Terengganu and left only at 5pm. I knew I will be missing the match, but i had a reason behind it. Whenever I miss Chong Wei's match, he will win. So I thought, this would repeat yesterday.
When I reach home, I quickly switch to ESPN for the news and saw the headlines, "China made complete sweep in Badminton". So I got to know that Chong Wei has lost his match. Then, when I saw the match and read the reviews, I got to know from the viewers that it was tough fight.
Though I don't expect him to win gold, but he made a superb performance with qualifying for final and loosing in rubber game with situation that he was injured 3months ago.
Maybe we need to wait for another 12years for another medal, but the question is who is the next LCW?
He told sorry to malaysians but for me we are the one should say sorry to you as we fail to share the burden with you.
