Olympic Fact: Dark Secret of the Olympic Village
Dark Secret of the Olympic Village
I was searching for some unusual Olympic information and I got something that you should know. Let's try to sneak into the Olympic Village and check the dark side of it.
Remember whatever you read here, leave it here. (LoL)
When people meets new faces, something will definitely ignite their senses. The excitement to know them and the thrill to be with other races who can't speak your own language gives you more interest. This is the typical feeling of any athlete who joins the Olympic event.
Now, to what extent are you going to socialize if you are going to be part of the Olympic squad of the Philippines? I will leave that question to you. My main purpose of this article is to show the dark side of the Olympic Village. (Isn't that obvious? That's the title of my article, LOL)
If we talk sports it's just like we are referring to ESPN. And that's where I got the next series of information which I call the "Dark Secret of the Olympic Village".
TAKE YOUR MARK
Home to more than 10,000 athletes at the Summer Games and 2,700 at the Winter, the Olympic Village is one of the world's most exclusive clubs. To join, prospective members need only have spectacular talent and -- we long assumed -- a chaste devotion to the most intense competition of their lives.
Coach Rio: World-class Running Maestro
A very inspiring story that anyone should not miss to read!
WATCH the Official video of Coach Rio as he competes against hundreds of participants.
Safeguard Active sponsored an innovative running event called #BeatCoachRio last June 5, 2012 held at the back of Terra 28th Park in Bonifacio Global City. This was a very rare event where participants had an oppotunity to compete with one of the most popular personalities in Philippine sports--Coach Rio Dela Cruz. A huge crowd of athletes ran against the video of Coach Rio which was flashed on the LED Billboard parallel to the participants.
#CoachRio is a three-time UAAP Champion and a world-class running maestro. Coach Rio holds a record of 2.3 seconds for the 20-meter dash. The current record of #CoachRio didn't intimidate hundreds of amateur athletes.
If Manny Pacquiao is to boxing, Coach Rio dela Cruz is to running.
But did anyone ever know the humble beginning of Coach Rio Dela Cruz?
The humble beginning of #Coach Rio Dela Cruz
Coach Rio Dela Cruz grew up in Bato, Camarines Sur. He is youngest of 14 children, Rio was raised by his father with the support of his paternal grandparents in Bicol.
Early on, he saw his future in running. He asked the school coach to let him join the tryout for the varsity team. But the teacher chose two others. But Rio was persistent so when his schoolmates were unable to consistently attend training, he stepped up and asked the coach again to accept him. He got in.
