Poem Title:
Poem
It is amazing yet so true about top notched sports stars... There is always a time when they're the undisputed stars... They'll be top seeded in all the major tournaments they entered in... And unsurprisingly and unceasingly they perform to cement their top billing.... At such periods in time, their reign is sublime and they're the ones to beat... Probably their aura of being top seeds quelled the fight out of many a lower seed.. Only in such periods when time seems to stand still as they reign supreme.... Best exemplified by Datuk Nicol Ann David who was 109months queen supreme ... Like any other champion, she gets dethroned but she'll soon regain her top ranking... But as age catches up, her subsequent reign is not going to be smooth sailing... It's impossible for her to equal ever again that record setting 109months reign.... It took years for her exorable climb up to such a pinnacle of excellence... For a champion, long hours and back breaking training sessions are unseen ...... And a professional teamwork are in place to ensure such perennial dominance... But the fact remains, after a period of unceasing dominance.... All champions, whatever their game, will fade into the distant horizon... Makes you wonder, stars of yesteyears, if age is not in the equation... Will their mastery, skills and experience match new and upcoming champions? Take a look at Datuk Lee Chong Wei in badminton, he was once the top honco... Losing was never an option and his invincibility was an aura lesser players yield pronto... After an unfortunate enforced lay off from badminton due to suspected drug misuse.... Therein lies several episodes of labourous climb back into the world rankings... These days yesteryear champions are unceremoniously chucked out of rankings... Each time an eager young turk charges into the finals and resets the ensuing rankings...
