A day to remember, a day the world have been waiting every 4 years to arrive. A day where all the warriors of the world of sports assemble in a selected country and in one occasion, triumph for victory and honor. This was the day, eyes from all around the world centered their vision on one location and with the same spirit, the flames of the Olympics was again been lit for the world to marvel at its significance. This time, this historical time, the games were seated in a country known as Beijing, China.
Everywhere from homes to the streets, we see family and friends gather alongside each other eagerly waiting for the grand opening of this unforgettable event. Sports are the one thing in our world that is able to bring all the people from around the world together no matter what religion, believes or any reason that part people away from each other. The influence sports can bring in our very lives is so powerful that it can be seen if we keep our eyes open and observe our surrounding. Why? Why do people look at the newspaper beginning from behind? Why are people willing to sit and enjoy a game of football when he/she has no idea how to play it? Why do people feel disappointed when their country is unable to win a game though it has nothing to do with them?
Athletes train with every breath hoping to make the best out of what they can. And in coincidence, becomes an art where spectators like you and I see it with fascination. Sport is just a word but the power lies the meaning of the word implies. A universal language that can be understood by all the people around the world even though there are no words that can be spoken or writing that can read. This is the fame of our time, this is the history that can't be forgotten, and this is the world speaking under one sound… This is the Olympics!!
