As Indonesian, i'm very proud and grateful for Liliana Natsir and Tontowi Ahmad for achieving olympic gold medal in mixed doubles badminton. They gave sweet and wonderful present for Indonesian independence day celebration. Badminton is also one of my favorite sport and I know how challenging this game is.

The special from this pair was they beat their opponents all in straight set.

This would be the last olympic for Liliana Natsir,
She rose up from previous 2012 olympic failure and guided her junior Tontowi Ahmad.
She came from poor but working hard family, chased her dreams to Jakarta even with insufficient fund.
She once rode ship for days instead of airplane to attend a tournament due to lack of financial ability.

She never give up and become inspiration throughout the nation.

Congrats to Tontowi Ahmad and Liliana Natsir!

My fav athlete this time will be Joseph Schooling, swimming. I have 1 picture as an explanation. here it is :

From this picture shows us....in 2008 Phelps is actually Joseph's idol. But 8 years later Joseph competed with his idol, Phelps, US legendary swimmer, legend for event like Olympic and I think it is a surprise for everyone that this Joseph Schooling can won gold medal for Singapore by beating his idol, Michael Phelps. From Joseph we can learn, that nothing is impossiblel. The message for me is, it does not matter who you are now, as long as we have passion and dedication for what we're doing, we can achieve something, even by beating someone who is our idol/mentor. I'm not Singaporean. I'm Indonesian. But this time I would say Joseph Schooling is such an insipration for me.

And the reason for swimming is : swimming is affordable by everyone. And we can do it individually. It is not a sport only for certain class of people. It is simple sport. But even it is simple sport from this time Olympic we learn a lot from Joseph's case. Well done Joseph and Phelps. Both of you are legend!

My favorit atlet is Michael Phelps.  Swimming
Because he is still the world-record holder for the 100m butterfly (49.82 seconds), 200m butterfly (1:51.51), 400m individual medley (4:03.84) and the 4x100m (3:08.24) and 4x200m freestyle (6:58.55) relays, the greatest swimmer of them all has set himself one final challenge at Rio 2016. 
I like Michael Phelps because he is my role model.  I like to swim because swimming can cure asthma (trouble breathing)  If u dilligently swim regularly since childhood.

Favorite Athelete: Valentino Rossi
Favorite sport: MotoGP - The fastest motocycles race in the world

Since 1949, only 25 riders have won MotoGP title. Some of them won multiple times. There are only 2 man up to now, has won the MotoGP title more than 5 times. One of them is Valentino Rossi (7 titles). He has been racing for 20 years with many different great rivals and historical battles to the finish line. They come and they go; but Vale is always there. He pushes his will, his body, his bike to the limit every years. Now, he is still working his way to his next MotoGP titles.
How many more races? how many more titles can he win? Is he the greatest of all time? Time will tell

My favorite Athletes: Michael Jordan
My favorite sport: Basketball

Michael Jordan is a former American basketball player who led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships and won the Most Valuable Player Award five times. One of only seven players in history to win an NCAA championship, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal. He is a living legend in basketball sport.

Beside that, he's more than an athletes, a successful businessman.
A well-timed investment star athlete Michael Jordan come into the billionaire ranks in 2015, and is keeping him there this year.
MJ is widely acknowledged as the greatest basketball player of all-time, but his salary rarely matched his stature.
He was the NBA's highest-paid player only twice during his 15-year career. His total career playing salary was $90 million, but Jordan has earned another billion from corporate partners since he left North Carolina in 1984. His biggest backer has always been Nike, which generates billion in revenue annually from the Jordan Brand. Nike commands 90% of the U.S. basketball shoe market, with the Jordan Brand representing more than half of that. MJ maintains his longtime endorsement relationships with Gatorade, Hanes and Upper Deck. He also owns seven restaurants and a car dealership.

His famous quote that can we adapt into daily life is:
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”  

Hope this story can inspire the others too.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
