Adnan Nawaz [who is a Sports Journalist for the BBC] wrote in the BBC Olympic Blog about Olympic Stars. The article is titled: “How Do You Spot A Future Olympic Star?” While the article was interesting, I decided to answer Mr. Adnan Nawaz. The following was taken from my contribution to his blog.
For Adnan Nawaz: Your article on how to spot an Olympic Star was great. It is not difficult to spot an Olympic Star since he or she could be a family member, a mentor, a friend, or even a next door neighbour. An Olympic Star is a person who is talented, professional, and one who behaves with dignity. I do wish that you and the BBC would quit your China Bashing since most of their athletes have the qualities lacking in most Western Athletes [with the exception of Michael Phelps]. My Best Wishes from Miami Florida.
