olympians

"what is sumo but a dance between giants"
"the way to beat a man is to shake his confidence" 


both of quotes from memoirs of a geisha.

well it seems to me that the above snips from the memoirs suits the Olympics very well. though they called it competitions and medals were given the only thing i think about were performances. the control and contraction of muscle from the gymnasts, the tango between competitors and lastly choreography of strategies that differ between teams.

confidence,being the core energy of performances, illustrated a significant effect on thier repertoire. with confidence away from your grasp, your solid ground became a quicksand. pulling you slowly down. "should i do this, will that happen to me " will be recurring in the players mind. overcalculating and overthinking things made you loose the grasp of that shining gold medal.


but what do i know,im just an observer.


stay strong dear olympians.
