It's also very impressive and excellent considering the future of the sports in the country. Looking at the way our athletes performed in the Beijing Olympics back in 2008, it was really miserable.
The team only managed to grab a mere one bronze and nothing else came on our side. If ever one of the cities in the country has a wish to host the games we have to be united and support the city.
Actually, this shouldn’t be based on politics or anything of some sort but it should be for the benefit of our country in the sporting fraternity. In that sense, this should be a stance that we must collectively support as it is one of the good aspects that will economically boost the city as well as the country in general and even our continent at large.
It will also improve our country’s image regarding to the sporting codes as we still have a huge gap to fill in the sports fraternity in terms of building a better reputation.
Yes, we are passionate about the games but our passion is nothing if we don't achieve the best. Thumb up to Durban for taking a brave standpoint of wishing to host the Olympic Games such is a very wonderful gesture to make sure that as a country we know our techniques in the sporting cycle. However, I would personally wish that the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee starts right now to prepare a better team for the 2012 London Olympics.
Let’s rally behind any city in the country that is showing an interest to host the games.This is also an advantage to our athletes. Performing well at home is better than failing away. Let's spread the the good words about our cities in any public platforms instead of unkind remarks of the infrastructures and whatever things. The Weekly Sports Digest is there for you. Keep reading and engaging me with any of your views about the beautiful games.
Sharp!
