As for Ukraine, these Olympics were underwhelming since we only finished in 22nd place on the medal table despite previously competing for top 10 placements. There were some additional gold medals opportunities within reach. We completely failed in swimming, tennis, and some other sports. Still, the result is somehow decent considering the circumstances. What about your country?
If we can keep this up, get our swimmers and Judoers back on track, have a bit more luck with the female cycling and mountainbiking. We should be able to get a lot more. But the new government wants to cut the budgets, I say double them.
I’m a fat fuck and I really got inspired to try and do some more sports. I think we really need that and the current budget is about the price of a beer per person. I’d gladly pay two beers if it meand watching more of my countrymen achieve their dreams, and me thinking as a 41 year old, I could pick up one of those shooting sports and make the olympics.
I would absolutley not make it, but I like the what if dream for the fat fucks like me, and like the dream for the younger people even more.
Once every two year we celebrate people who give everything for a passion and watch them win and make it our own win, we also watch people not make it and continue on. Both are so very important as examples for the rest of us.
