The games start tomorrow and I will be glued to the TV over the next couple of weeks. The traditional motto of the Olympics is Citius, Altius, Fortius, which is Latin for "Faster, Higher, Stronger" - and for me that makes the Olympics all about track and field.
I am happy for the other sports to be there but I am not sure that they all fit with the true Olympic tradition. No where does that traditional motto include the words: Syncronised, Graceful, Artistic, Owner of the best equipment, Most Liked by the judges etc etc.
