I believe the stars are always aligned and they're as perennial as the universe. It's a question of whether yours are at a particular moment. Roger Federer's and Lee Chong Wei's weren't last night.
Roger Federer was all smiles and gracious after his loss (a premonition he has felt before the match began) but Lee Chong Wei could hardly hide his anguish. If you thought watching Dong Jiong sobbing uncontrollably at Atlanta (1996) when he received the silver medal was heart-breaking, watching Lee Chong Wei walking to the podium for the victory ceremony would leave you speechless.
Meanwhile, Usain Bolt thundered his way to a new 100m Olympic Record, 9.63secs - just 0.05sec away from his World Record that I would've loved see broken. It might look like I'm asking too much but wouldn't anyone want a more spectacular finish given that the Jamaican is the current WR holder and is 'expected' to win the race?
Perhaps, my stars weren't quite aligned, either.
Quinh did not hum along the Chinese national anthem at Wembley Arena yesterday.
