Bravo, Britain!
13 years ago
The 2012 Summer Olympics in London are officially over, and after watching the closing ceremony on TV, I take my hat off to the British.
It was a spectacular show with many great performances and beautiful fireworks... I love fireworks! <3 <3 <3
The problem with the Olympics in general is that the IOC is a highly corrupt organization and questionable morals, while we can assume that more than 60% of the athletes are doped with anabolic steroids and who-knows-what, making their performances questionable at times and definitely not suitable for being role models, but nonetheless the Olympics have a special atmosphere that lets us forget all this and enjoy a more or less peaceful competition between people from all over the world.
The Londoners were great hosts and certainly made the past 2 weeks more enjoyable than the games in Beijing 4 years ago, mostly because of their laid-back attitude.
Thank you very much!
(They also proved that Mitt Romney was wrong :-P)

FA+

It was a mix of sexy, wrong, and humorous.
Though I don't watch, I enjoy the idea of different countries coming together for friendly competition. Though, they do play rather seriously sometimes.
