Exquisite attainment
Awe-inspiring claims
Breathtaking amazement:
the Olympic Games
Superb agility
Zealous muscle flames
Stunning ability:
the Olympic Games
Pursuit of perfection
Record breaking aims
Adonis reflection:
the Olympic Games
Nanosecond measures
Wins by snapshot frames
Judges score their pleasures:
the Olympic Games
Awarding of medals
Latest household names
Avoiding soft-pedals:
the Olympic Games.
