Olympics` Legacy

If you were, as I was, amazed by the Olympians` athleticism on display, you might be thinking how great it was to see the results of such an intensive training on their bodies and minds. Sadly, this incredible event is coming to its end and many are preoccupied with predicting what would be the legacy of the games. How long would we hold on to this great sporting spirit? How often would we recall the enthusiasm of the general public, the camaraderie, fairness, and the sheer courage to compete against all odds? How long would we bask in the glory of staging one of the best shows on earth? What would be left when the bright lights are switched off, and the roar of the masses dies down? Some talk about regeneration of East London, others about the whole generation that gained new role models……and me? I wish the legacy will be – simply – the pursuit of excellence. In everything we do, starting with taking care of ourselves. The Brits are now the fattest nation in Europe; the streets are full of overweight, unhealthy people. I sincerely hope the athletes would inspire millions to start their own crusade to transform their flabby flesh into lean and healthy physique, and to alter their mind-sets and dream about greatness…..and achieve unattainable goals. Let`s not say `sorry` for being fabulous but be proud to be the best we can be (!)
