Twenty golden moments of the 2012 Games
Posted: at 12:14 am
LONDON (Reuters) - The London Olympics were packed with sporting highlights, personal dramas and emotional highs and lows. Here are 20 golden moments from the Games.
- - - -
Michael Phelps bows out with a record medal haul
With a lop-sided smile of satisfaction, the greatest of swimmers and possibly the greatest Olympian of all time, said farewell with one last immense performance for the U.S. relay team in the men's 4x100m medley. Final tally: 18 career golds, 22 medals. He had done everything he set out to achieve. The world of swimming has lost a titan of the pool.

Usain Bolt wins (and wins and wins)
The world's fastest man and his Jamaica relay team mates provided three of the enduring moments of the Games. The showman opened his campaign with a Games record in the 100 metres, followed up by becoming the first man to retain his titles in the 100 and 200m - where Jamaica finished 1-2-3 - and then anchored the 4x100 relay to a world record time.
The moment where Bolt and Yohan Blake caught each others' eyes as they crossed the finish line in the 200, with the winner putting his finger to his lips to silence the young pretender, was a classic moment of theatre.

U.S. coach inspired Jamaican sprint success
Posted: at 12:14 am
LONDON (Reuters) - Bud Winter, the American sprint coach who mentored a generation of world record-holders including Tommie Smith and John Carlos, held a series of seminars in Jamaica in 1966.
Among the attendees listening to the man who revolutionised sprint training were Glen Mills and Steven Francis. Forty-six years later Mills coaches Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake while Francis guides Asafa Powell and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
Between them that quartet collected three individual gold medals and three silvers at the London Olympics concluding on Sunday where a Caribbean island of 2.7 million people reaffirmed it is the cradle of world sprinting. Bolt and Blake also took gold in the men's 4x100 relay and Fraser-Pryce was in the Jamaican quartet who claimed relay silver.
Two years after Winter's visit Smith and Carlos shocked the world and infuriated the establishment when they bowed their heads and held black-gloved fists aloft during the victory ceremony for the Mexico Olympics 200 metres final.
Their silent protest on behalf of their oppressed fellow-blacks in the United States still resonates. A similar determination and pride swept through the Caribbean with the music of Bob Marley in Jamaica and the success of the West Indies cricket side.
"There is a tremendous sense of pride, if two Jamaicans run in to each other in the street they say 'Respect'," said Jason Hall, deputy director of tourism at the Jamaica Tourist Board who helped run the hugely successful Jamaica House at the London Olympics. "Respect is very important. National pride is an extension of that."
Winter's visit to Jamaica came at the invitation of Dennis Johnson, who equalled the world 100 yards records four times in the space of six weeks in 1961. Johnson was coached at San Jose State University by Winter.
On his return to Jamaica, Johnson resolved to help mentor coaches who would help produce world-class athletes. They in turn would not then feel they needed to accept university scholarships in the United States in order to progress.
BURN OUT
As a promising young athlete Hall, now 41, clocked 10.2 over the 100 metres and studied in the United States.

For Canada's Olympians at London 2010, success shouldn't only be measured by medals
Posted: at 12:14 am
LONDON -- Eight years ago in Athens, Tonya Verbeek felt she had lost gold. She was younger then, a "little bit of a brat," in her words. "Oh, I wanted it all," she said, and when she lost the 55-kilogram women's wrestling final, she was bummed, devastated, upset.
Here in London, Verbeek had a different perspective. She was wiser now, 34 years old, almost certainly ending her Olympic career. Oh, she still wanted it all -- a gold to go with that silver and the bronze she got four years ago in Beijing. But this time, when she ran into the same brick wall in the final, three-time Olympic champion Saori Yoshida of Japan, she didn't feel like a failure.
"I stepped off that mat," she said, "feeling like I won silver.''
Experience the Olympics for long enough, and you understand everything is relative. Success is not defined strictly by medals -- for nations as well as individuals. You come. You compete. You see where you stack up. But what it means depends on the circumstances.
By one measure, these Games were a disappointment for Canada. One gold? That's the lowest total since 1976, when Canada was shut out on home soil in Montreal, and that's a poor return on millions of dollars of real money that was spent to develop these athletes -- some of it government money. The Own the Podium program is missing something -- the "w." Canadians were on the podium, but they didn't own it. With five silvers and 12 bronzes, you might call this the Bronze Age.

But by another measure, these Games about met expectations. Canada won 18 medals, finishing 13th in the overall count. The Canadian Olympic Committee's goal was "Top 12 in 2012," but that was considered ambitious before the Games began. The totals are in line with history. Canada won 18 medals and finished 14th four years ago in Beijing. It won exactly three golds in five of the previous six Summer Games, so one isn't a big drop-off. It averaged 16.8 medals over the previous five Summer Games, so 18 ain't bad.
So much of this comes down to population and priorities and resources, and Canada is a relatively small nation of 35-million people who live in a cold climate and value winter sports most. Canada won 14 gold medals at the 2010 Winter Games, more than any other nation. Canada won 26 medals overall, third-most. Would you rather have had Sidney Crosby score the winner in ice hockey in Vancouver or the winner in field hockey in London?
"I'm not looking at medal tables," said triathlete Simon Whitfield, the Canadian flag-bearer at the Opening Ceremony. "I'm not trying to compare Canada to the Chinese. That's a fool's game. They're not going to beat us at hockey. I don't think they sit around and look at the hockey going, 'Man, those Canadians, I can't believe they beat us.' "

HAPPY RAYA: Fadillah presenting a gift to one of the 350 recipients at the Ihsan Ramadan and Aidilfitri programme in Kuching on Saturday. Looking on at right is Zarif.
KUCHING: Being physically handicapped is not a drawback for Malaysian youth icon Zarif Affendi to achieve personal success.
For one, he is the proud owner of three Bachelor degrees in psychology, sociology and law.
Although he was born without any hands, he is currently the chief executive officer (CEO) of three companies!
Zarif said the key to achieving great success in life starts with having great self esteem.
He believes all individuals have their own strong points, and those who could tap into those strong points creatively could scale great heights.
Why is it that I can be successful like any normal person when I am born without two hands? What is important is that we must have that creative element to enable us to achieve our dreams, he said during a talk held in conjunction with the Ihsan Ramadan and Aidilfitri programme here on Saturday.
The function was officiated by Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Datuk Fadillah Yusof.
We must not give up easily. I was poked fun at when I was in primary school, secondary school and even in university, but those ordeals were never obstacles to me.

Yoga Guru Leads Protest Against Indian Corruption
Posted: August 12, 2012 at 2:11 pm
A popular Indian yoga guru fasted for a fourth day Sunday and threatened to expand his anti-graft protest nationwide if the government doesn't act decisively to bring back billions of dollars of ill-gotten money that Indians allegedly have stashed abroad.
Baba Ramdev told thousands of cheering supporters at a sprawling fairground in the capital that he would announce an action plan on Monday to "intensify the protest across the country in the form of a people's revolt."
He asked his supporters to be ready to accept arrest, but urged them to be peaceful and shun violence.
"I will be the first person to go to jail and you follow me," he said.

Ramdev and his supporters say they haven't eaten for three days to pressure the government to accept their anti-corruption demands, including the creation of a powerful ombudsman to check government officials, an independent Central Bureau of Investigation, and actions to prevent tax evasion and the illegal stashing of money in overseas banks.
On Thursday, the government said a committee was working on a draft of an ombudsman bill that would be submitted to Parliament next month. The finance ministry is in the process of tightening laws to curb illegal transfers of money abroad.
Ramdev started his protest less than a week after anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare halted a separate hunger strike that failed to attract widespread support. Hazare and his backers said they would give up agitating and join politics instead.
Crowds have dwindled at the site of Ramdev's fast over the past three days.
Millions of Indians tune in every day to watch Ramdev perform yoga exercises on his popular TV show. In the past few years he has used his popularity as a yoga guru to highlight his campaign against corruption.

The Calvin Report: Kookaburras plunge the knife in
Posted: at 1:12 pm
Jason Lee held the most emotionally charged team meeting of his life yesterday morning. He could not contain his tears as he read out a message from a group of disadvantaged teenagers, who put an Olympic medal into its proper perspective.
Thirty children from the sink estates of Tower Hamlets, who have formed themselves into a group named the Fre Flyers, have been mentored by Lee and his GB men's hockey squad over the past two years.
"Thank you for sharing your lives and values with us" they wrote. "Thank you for teaching us about teamwork, respect, and never giving up. Thank you for staying together, and always striving to be the best."
No further team talk was required. Lee successfully lobbied officials to get the children tickets for the bronze medal match against Australia, whose 3-1 win lacked the traumatic impact of Thursday's 9-2 semi-final defeat by Holland.
Everyone dies a little when they lose at the sharp end of an Olympic tournament. Lee's men had a mere 44 hours to recover from that Dutch defeat, which appeared to unravel seven years' work.
No one knew better the challenge facing them than the man who ultimately inflicted further pain, Australian coach Ric Charlesworth.
He is the Renaissance Man of modern sport, having punctuated a stellar coaching career, in hockey, cricket and Australian Rules football, with spells as a politician and surgeon.
Charlesworth admitted: "I feel for the GB team. The interesting thing about coaching is that you have to trouble the comfortable, and comfort the troubled."
Charlesworth empathised with Lee's task. The GB squad, conditioned to understanding their responsibilities to one another, and the sport as a whole, had nowhere to hide.
"There was a lot of grieving, which we encouraged out into the open as quickly as possible," their performance director David Faulkner said. "We had to confront it, manage it, and change the mind set."

Three-Point Sensation Anthony Cooper Joins SMC Basketball Coaching Team

Former college basketball three-point sensation Anthony Cooper has been named the new Corsairs Assistant Coach for the Santa Monica College Mens Basketball team this fall.
I am excited to learn from Coach Jerome Jenkins, Cooper said. He has a wealth of knowledge and is highly respected in the basketball community. Hes been successful on the court at the JC and Division 1 level, but what Ive noticed most is how great of a motivator and mentor he is. The kids really respond to him on and off the court. The way he inspires young men to do better in life is what every coach aspires to do.
Before starting his coaching career, Cooper learned the game of basketball as a point-guard for Merrill F. West High School in the Bay area. During his junior year, he led his team to the league championship and earned First-Team All League honors in 1995 and 1996. Cooper was also inducted to the Tri-Valley Scholastic Black Sports Hall of Fame in 1996 for his tremendous skills on the basketball court.
In 1997, he went on to attend Orange Coast Community College where he continued to play and dominated from three-point range finishing third over all in the schools history for three-pointers made. He also set an Orange County record for three-pointers made in a game against Saddleback College shooting 10 for 13 from behind the arc.
After his success at Orange Coast, Cooper transferred to California State University-Hayward in 2001, where he majored in Communications and kept playing basketball. His dominance behind the three-point line prevailed as he set a Cal Pac record for the highest single-season three-point percentage holder at 57 percent adding to his mantel of trophies earned in college.
Following his college basketball days, Cooper decided to step away from basketball and used his communications degree he earned at Cal State to land a job in TV production working for CBS, Fox, E!, and Americas Funniest Home Videos.
For the next 10 years Coopers television career grew, but he found himself missing the game of basketball.
He still played regularly and caught himself always talking about it amongst his peers and watching highlights.
