See you 2012

so, 16 days of Olympics has come to an end, I must say this is the first Olympics that I was so into.... the many achievements and milestones that was, got me watching (besides the endless ranting of how the opening was the best the world has ever seen), a big part being the hype of Michael Phelps and his 8 golds in a single Olympics, rewriting history, to the silver medal Singapore won in the Woman's Team Table Tennis event after 48 years (they should totally make it a public holiday after that). 

then there are the smaller heroes who deserve mentioning as well, Matthew Mitcham (below), an Australian diver won Gold in his 10m Platform event, crashing Chinas hopes for a clean-sweep of Golds at diving (GO MATT!), scoring a 112.10 in his final dive, the highest single-dive score in Olympic history, and he is the first Aussie male to win an Olympic Gold medal in diving since 1924. 


Novak Djokovic of Serbia, delivered their first medal in Tennis, taking Bronze (GO NOVAK!!... no pics sadly)

so it's another 4 years before it all starts over again, (maybe Phelps wants 9 Golds next time?) 2012 in London, and I must say the little peak into what it'll look like in 2012 got me intrigue. 

and I have an uncanny feeling that I sound like a journalist for the above post....
