That's why it should be invested at the grassroots level. If medals don't happen, at least we have a healthier country.

Yay for Kelly Holmes.
I've never forgiven Maradona so boo to the Argentinian football team.

really? i figured you'd be pissed given those conditions.

Yay! I am VERY loosely related to a gold medalist.
My uncle's brother's wife's niece is Shih Hsin Chen, the Taiwanese Gold medalist in Tai Kwan Doe. That sort of makes me a celebrity, right?

I didn't even know I had loosely related Taiwnese relatives until this morning.
Apparently there is going to be a celebration in Taiwan for her. She's a big deal now.

I probably should have left this thread alone instead of reviving in for a VERY late reply. Anyways, here goes.
My aunt's husband is my uncle by marriage, not blood. his brother is married to a taiwanese woman. Once again, marriage, not blood. So I am related to a Gold medalist twice by marriage
