Christine Ridenour, Canadian triathlete
I luv dis girl’s spirit.
She was tipped as a medal favourite but crashed out
while helping to organize d lead pack during d final lap
in d cycling segment in dis morn’s triathlon.
She didn’t blame anybody.
She said “It was a bad judgment call on my part.
I tried to get us organised and dropped back so I was in line
with the girls when they crashed.”
“When I crashed I thought,
‘OK, this is another challenge I have to face today.
I’ve never not finished a race,”.
Great spirit n character.
If only my DS was older...

I was there hanging around Esplanade there, watching the arrival of the torch in the phoenix, the amazing fireworks (better than NDP one). :rahrah:

Going with DD and my nephew to watch a YOG Hockey’s Preliminary tomorrow and hope to experience the excitement of the events. The ticket came with a beautiful DBS Visa Prepare Card which provides the free traveling on Public transport for watching the match. :lol:

Dis food was served to YOG volunteers.
It was reported in d press dat d athletes were served
a good wide range of food buffet style at YOG village.
SFI won a SGD5.5 mil contract to cater meals for YOG.
If we add 3,600 athletes + 1,500 officials + ~ 2,000 volunteers
and SFI caters 3 meals x 14 days x 7,000 headcount,
3 meals/day + supper, tea break = S$55/day
Do u think d food served + dessert + drink is worth dat price?
If athletes + officials get served better food,
Why r our own volunteers treated dis way?
Can
wonder if there were ever any '3 quotes' for such provision?
I think in the SAF, they also chargevery high per head per meal....much probably about double what one wld have to pay for when buying from normal kopitiam.... -
is SFI a GLC ?

Shd be an open tender with d usual suspects participating.

SFI is a subsidiary of SATS, a GLC;
n FoodFare is a subsidiary of NTUC.
I have since heard (last Sat) dat after d complaints were publicized
dat d food quality has improved.
YOG volunteers were told dat they will get d same food as d athletes.
:celebrate:
Makes one wonder if remedial action would have been taken
if no one publicly complain. -
