By far it is the BEST..the past or future olympics, a high benchmark set by London 2012....the highest example that Sports does not discriminate.. it brings people together.. politicall****eology, race, our greens, religion and many more.... London creates No Holds Barred..flame nozzle carrier on wheelchair, a muslim girl wearing white tudung white pants carrying Vietnam country name....any colors, blacks, whites, reds as one human being  ..towards one objective...THE SPIRIT OF  THE OLYMPIC....

Love,
Raziff, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
