The 2006 Olympic Winter Games are taking place right now. And as there are quite some Dutch participators, for our little country, the television is broadcasting about it about all day and all night.
I don’t want to see all this, because I am not interested, but there’s no escape from it. The games itself, but for all lots and lots of talking about it….
But sometimes, just if you want to switch to another channel, there is something nice and something to think about.
About this Kenyan athlete, Philip Boit, that became number 92 of 97, in cross country skiing (read [in German]: langlauf).
The question about it, is whether the Games are for “übermenschen” only?! Or is it to compete for a personal goal? Or is he an übermensch, following the definition?.
I like the story of Philip Boit. So did Alex.
Based on Torino coverage on dutch televsion
For people that love the Games, Wikipedia has great pages about it!!!
