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.
