I was scanning through one of the forums I joined and stumbled upon this one thread about the Beijing Olympics...
I am not sure if this was published but it was stated in the thread that it was...

to see the the internet article click here
and my two cents worth...
the article is unnecessary and uncalled for! Yes they have the freedom to write a story about these things but is it really necessary to put "almost zero chance of landing a medal"? if the newspaper is really up to writing something about the beijing olympics, then why not write it in this manner? why not write something in the perspective of "despite the the giant athletes of the other countries, we were able to send 15 athletes hoping to give glory to our country... or something like "even with the lack of financial and physical support, 15 athletes will fly to Beijing China to compete in this year's Olympics"...
I used to compete in swimming, maybe not as big as olympics, but this kind of article will never strike me as challenging... this is nothing but purely demoralizing and degrading... I have had comments in the same context and it is very far from being a challenge more so if it's coming from your own allies...
Pity when some people are trying very hard to somehow make us filipinos proud and yet in our very own backyard, some people are scrutinizing and degrading these very people who are brave enough to take a step forward, who are courages enough to bring us forward...
is it really so much to keep an optimistic mind nowadays? so much to being patriotic....
