Celebrate them
by commonbutawake on Jul 19, 2012 03:52 PM

In this time of Olympic euphoria, lets not discuss the failures of these guys/gals...lets celebrate what they, or others like them, achieved..Further, participating in the games and representing the country is a big achievement. How many of us sitting in AC offices have been winners in our professions? Lets not belittle people just because of one "weak" moment in their lives..They perhaps added smiles to millions in their homes/countries.....

Liu Xiang collapsed in 110 meters hurdles in front of home crowd in 2008 Beijing olympics.

Milkha Singh and P T Usha also finished fourth in olympic finals missing medals by a whisker.
