Best Games of My Life: Samaranch

MEXICO CITY — Honorary President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Juan Antonio Samaranch said that the 29th Olympic Games of Beijing was the best one of his life.

“I have attended many Olympic Games since Helsinki 1952, Finland and the ones of Beijing 2008 have been the best I have ever seen,” Samaranch said as quoted by Mexican daily El Sol de Mexico on Monday.

Successful Olympic Games need three things: good organization and facilities, a good local sports delegation, and people’s enthusiasm, and China fulfilled all of them, Samaranch said.

China achieved “good organization and facilities and it has presented to the world the best stadium and swimming pool of the world,” Samaranch said.

“China achieved very good results. They are the first at the gold medal table,” Samaranch said.

And the enthusiasm of the Chinese people was seen on the thousands volunteers who participated during Beijing 2008.

Samaranch also said that the Olympic Games of London 2012 will be different, they “will have their own personality”, so there is not a point to compare London 2012 with Beijing 2008

China put on an extravagant farewell to the Olympics last night, while David Beckham, the world’s most famous soccer player, kicked a ball to start the countdown to London 2012.

Launching a huge party to wrap up the greatest sporting show on earth, thousands of athletes poured in from all four corners of the stadium, blowing kisses and waving flags.

The towering figure of Chinese basketball star Yao Ming was seen grinning from ear to ear.

Two giant drums were hoisted into the sky, with two pairs of suspended drummers thumping out a hypnotic beat.

The stadium was turned into a kaleidoscope of glittering colors, as about 200 acrobats took giant leaps and somersaulted across a stage on spring-heeled stilts.

There were speeches from Liu Qi, president of the Beijing Organising Committee, and International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge, the latter officially declaring the Beijing Games to be over.

Rogge and Guo Jinlong, the mayor of Beijing, then handed over the Olympic Flag to Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, host city of the next Olympics in 2012.

It heralded the start of an eight-minute segment for London organizers to showcase the 2012 Games, with a red London bus driven into the stadium.

Singer Leona Lewis and former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page emerged as the bus transformed into a grass-covered carnival float, and the pair combined for a rendition of “Whole Lotta Love”.

The biggest star turn came when a  grinning Beckham kicked the ball off the top of the bus into the hands of a delighted Games volunteer.

The Olympic flame was then extinguished but the carnival continued in the night with songs and dances.

NBA- Larry o Brien trophy… 16lbs, 24 carat gold, with the ball same size as the real regulation ball.

There is something about having your name engraved on the Stanley Cup that beats out all the other trophys. The tradition is great.

Does it seem like soccer aficionados speak a language all their own? It sure seems like it to me, and I’ve been playing the game for over 20 years. I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English.
