The Olympics - Bolt, and by George - he did !!...Now for Anna's 'discipline' .....

What am I whittering on about now ? That amazing young Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt - phhwoorr ! Did you ever see anything like it ? No, of course not, because he just broke the previous Olympic record, set by the brilliant Michael Johnson, running it in 9.69 seconds - impossible one would have thought before today. One meaning in English for 'bolt' = "to run away very suddenly" and that's just what Mr. Bolt did, even relaxing the last few metres and cantering home !! The most noticable thing about this win was that Usain made it look so EASY, and it IS for him, lots more to come now , he was dancing for the spectators before the start, and just ran for fun, the element that is so often missing in modern sporting events - you know what I think about the primaeval antics of some tennis players at Wimbledon this year. It was a misery to behold - so I stopped beholding and waited to hear the result later. Usain Bolt - we now await the 200 metre event - don't miss it if you want to be inspired, I noticed he was simply controlling his exhalation, blowing out with pursed lips, and allowing the air to restore itself in the manner I endeavour to instil in 'my Breathers', by simply letting the diaphragm restore the inhalation. It works for them as it does for him - and especially for - Anna (Larsson), the Swedish Contralto phenomenon. Her "Olympic discipline" is singing, and it dawned on me today, that her preparation for a role or lied equates with that of an athletes'. When Anna sings she brings in to play a complex accummulation of experience and artistry gained over a period of years at the highest level. Her dedication, application and attention to detail have brought her to the position she now holds on the world stage, and rightly so. Which is why I have witnessed her steady rise, through bronze, silver and now gold medal status.....and the best is yet to come ... As someone remarked recently 'She makes it look and sound so easy !" - just like Mr. Usain Bolt. So, Miss Larsson - we look forward with great anticipation of your newest 'Gold Run' - the intriguing 'Dalilah' ....toi, toi, toi....and don't forget folks ...k..p b.......g...
