There have been some amazing highlights from the Beijing Olympics this year. Especially with Team GB reaching their best medal tally in 100 years, Michael Phelps becoming the greatest Olympian of all time & in general the Chinese being good host's. (despite all the initial doubts)
I think the opening ceremony was a demonstration full of life, energy and explosive power (If sport was politics they showed the world that they are a superpower that means business). The 'birds nest' was the perfect setting. The innovative and visually striking stadia designed by swiss Architects Herzog & de Meuron will go down as one of the greatest Olympic arenas of all time.
But with all this, for me the highlight of the games has to be Usain Bolt's amazing performance in the 100m final. His showing has truly matched the spectacular venue, with his explosive, but very smooth running style. He broke his own record leaving many commentators to suggest he could have run even faster. He has brought the excitement back into the sport, which has seen its image destroyed over the years with numerous drug scandals. Remembering he is only 21 so, I fully expect him to get even better.!!!
With this years memorable games now coming to an end. I personally think the 'birds nest' is the best ever Olympic Arena and it has been blessed to have staged the greatest performance of all time. A PERFECT MATCH
Peace
