He is the greatest ever. That was just the latest news on sports. ...Sports that have some of my greatest interest.
It just happened; he finished third in the 100 meters (because of a slow start @ the blocks) and had a cramp in his leg in the 4x100 meters and couldn't finished because of the pain.
It must be even more painful emotionally. But he is still the greatest ever; nobody can take that away from him, not even himself.

Then I added last year Rio summer games premises one year after; that too was in the news and it paints a not so rosy picture. It looks abandoned like a ghost town. It is deteRIOrating, decomposing, rusting, adding a sour view, a big machine adding more garbage, decline, violence and poverty (favelas, or slums).
They can't afford to pay the bills in maintenance. It is sad, but it is reality; the price to pay when hosting the games in a beautiful setting (Rio de Janeiro) with many financial issues in infrastructures and poor living conditions for a large part of its population. We've seen this before in other countries as well.
I am a huge fan of the Summer Olympic Games every four years. It brings all the countries together in a spirit of fraternity and peace.
...All positive competition; among all the athletes from all over and among all the hosting world's cities.
And there is also an undeniable underground true reality. It is a balance of everything that each one of us assesses from his own eyes.
