Pinnacle of Achievement-Sebastian Coe the Model Sportsman and Gentleman par excellence

It is amazing what one man can do to sports.

I remember seeing him in Sheffield and talking to him while he was training for the Olympic gold in 1980.

His dedication, discipline and training to achieve and break the world record at the same time was remarkable.

I am sure Roger Bannister who was a neurologist, if he was alive today would have been more proud of his achievement.

Roger was one who said one can break the 4 minutes barrier in one mile and trained himself to do just that.

He is a role model and made other athletes coming from Africa with very limited resources to compete and break his record within a very short time space.

Having taken up politics he only served his ultimate gold getting the highest number of medals for a TEAM UK.

He galvanized, polarized and focused on the job while India played politics in this games by allowing an undesirable freak to appear in the opening ceremony and cast some slur on the character of Sebestian Coe.

I cannot believe the Team India did not recognize the freak before commencing the march.

I also believe Indian had a ploy to take mean advantage of her presence and cast some doubts on the overall security.

India has in the meantime has destroyed the gentleman´s Test Cricket by IPL and it is actively destroying our players too.

Indian can be bought and thrive only on money.

That is their name of the game and booking strategy.

They only speak with money and money is corruptive in any game, football included.

I hope Sebstian Coe make steps so that cricket is never in the Olympics until money minded Indian and their politicians get cricket back to its original gentleman´s game.

That is why India did not get a single gold with a population that will overtake China in a few years time but China may even lead the gold table by beating TEAM USA.

I have a issues for our guys and girls.

Like I predicted without having any inside knowledge that there will be more officials and politicians in London on state coffers to participate in this grand extravaganza has been reported true by an English daily but not Sinhala.

My fear is that if we have cricket is in the Olympics there will be more officials and politicians(fifty times the team strength and with additional cheer party lead by Percy) and they will drain the entire budget meant for sports in one week of sojourn in a foreign land.

The qualification to become a minister is to cheat ballot papers at all the elections from Local to National.

Unfortunately counting officers are also in the fray nowadays with political backing.

It is a shame.

Only crooks gets there that unfortunately include our cricket board elections too.

In this country they spent less than 1.8% on education and 80% of that is for salary and we do not have a sports magazine in the Medical library.

In actual fact, they spent less than 0.5 percent in real terms and they want to cut it more.
For sports it is even worse and that too is spent on cricket pitches and football pitches in the Vanniya and nothing for the sportsmen and women.
