Olympic Madness
by Salim Abraham .
I was watching the beginning Beijing Olympics the other day and the event going on at that time was the women’s weight lifting .I saw three competitors from Egypt ,Columbia and China doing their thing . First the Egyptian tried sadly she failed .Next the Colombian took her shot again though pushed and prodded by the coach ,she too was unable to do do it . The coach and the other support staff pushed them made them smell something and did all they could to make the contestants do some thing as stupid and frivolous as lifting a weight far greater than their own bodies . This reminds me often I would see bullock carts carrying very heavy loads .Those poor animals ! After having crossed the point of exhaustion (their breaking point much like the weightlifting Olympians) when they could no longer pull the cart ,they would come to a complete stop and much like the coach the cart rider would come and try his hand by trying to break the poor bulls tail or by lighting a match and holding it to the animals tail to make the helpless animal carry on with the heavy load .These acts committed on the bull though inhumane can sadly be justified as a way for the cart rider to feed his family . But what about the Olympians ? Why on earth are the poor athletes (oddly more helpless than the bull) put through these animalistic acts ? I cannot comprehend that in this amazingly awaken and information filled world why anyone in their right mind would coax ,coach ,boost ,promise fame and glory so that a human being would suffer and keep suffering then when he reaches his breaking point he is left alone ? These barbaric customs and inhuman practices followed in the olden time when these physical talents would guarantee kingship .These still being followed by us a so called civilized society . This mascarades in the pre text civil and healthy sportsmanship . Here instead of the gladiators tearing up lions and warriors fighting each other in battle instead the Olympians PRACTICE HEALTHY sportsmanship in well crafted Olympia stadiums . My belief is in this cultured society we should not engage in trivial pursuits such as these . The Olympics is just as important as a gladiator fighting to death with a lion . But I do salute the contestants who sadly failed in the pursuit of this frivolous dream of stupid yellow and silver medals .
