EL PLANO- THE MAP
theme than "sports" for this month
Para este mes st. Luke's ha propuesto hacer un challenge sobre el deporte aprovechando el momento "olimpiadas", bueno, pues aquí hay algunas fotos de la villa olímpica, lo primero que ves al llegar, ya desde lejos es "la órbita", una torre que después de las olimpiadas será un lugar que se podrá visitar, cuando llegas al parque, propiamente dicho, te encuentras con el edificio de los anillos olímpicos que es el centro acuático y al lado está el water polo arena, y detrás el lugar más llamativo que es el estadio olímpico, os he puesto un plano para que os situéis, una de las cosas más impactantes ha sido ver a la policía especial con metralladoras, bombas lacrimógenas, chalecos antibalas y también impacta ver al ejercito, al principio da un poco la sensación de que se está esperando que pase algo, pero luego, la policía y los militares son muy amables y te sonríen, eso le quita un poco de tensión a la imagen...
Evidentemente las pruebas de atletismo son las más esperadas, todas las finales donde ha participado el Sr. Usain B, han sido lo más visto, y otra de las heroínas ha sido la Sra. Jenni Ennis...todo fantástico, pero mi tarjeta para este challenge es un poco revindicativa...cuantas pensáis seguir las olimpiadas de los paralímpicos???, conocéis a algunos de estos grandes deportistas????, tenéis idea de como se entrena un atleta paralímpico con todas las limitaciones que tienen????...yo tuve la gran suerte de entrenar (cuando yo era una chica libre y sin responsabilidades familiares), en la misma piscina que, el nadador paralímpico con más medallas y campeonatos ganados XAVI TORRES, sólo hay una palabra para definir a este chico que nació sin piernas ni parte de los brazos debido a un medicamento que le dieron a su madre cuando estaba embarazada,TENACIDAD, TENACIDAD, TENACIDAD, era impresionante todo, como practicaba las zambullidas, las horas de entrenamiento, lo veloz que es...y además una persona comprometida socialmente...
Evidentemente los atletas olímpicos son dignos de admiración, pero personalmente admiro más a los paralímpicos, personas que deben superar la barrera de lo sicológico y las barreras de lo físico, ESO SI ES SUPERACIÓN, y un ejemplo.
Espero que podáis ver alguna competición paralímpica y apreciar el gran esfuerzo mental y físico que supone...mi homenaje personal a unos auténtico héroes anónimos...porque casi nadie suele saber el nombre de ningún gran atleta discapacitado...lo dejo como reflexión.

We want to see Tearing
Ayer llegué a casa y todavía estoy centrándome, me ha costado pensar en algo con papel rasgado, ya hicímos otro con papel rasgado e hice un barco con mar y la verdad no me parecía interesante repetir la idea, bueno, en esta la idea ha sido que rasgando el papel detrás hay todo un precioso mundo de color y vida..espero que os guste, aunque no estoy muy convencida esta semana, la verdad, esto de readaptarse no es fácil :D:D:D:D.
THANK YOU TO ALL MY LIMMETES FRIENDS FOR YOURS COMMENTS THESE WEEKS.
A BIG AND WARM HUG. FORM THE SUPERMELTED ISLAND 36oC.
I WILL TRY TO VISIT ALL YOU.
Me alegro de verte de vuelta y mi enhorabuena por tu visita a las olimpiadas, seguro que ha sido un viaje inolvidable. Y menos mal que tardas en adaptarte porque si no..... preciosa la tarjeta con el colorido y tantas mariposas en el aire. Besos.

Hi Loli! You were really thinking creatively this week! Fab card!!
ResponderEliminarFABULOUS photos, looks like you had a great time 0 thanks for sharing.
ResponderEliminarLove your LIM card too
It's pretty warm here in Bristol (England) today too but only reached 30-31°c and that's plenty hot enough for me!

Very creative use of the challenge theme, I am impressed. Muy bueno!
ResponderEliminarHi Loli - looks like you had a great time at the Olympic Games - fantastic photos. Love both your cards but the LIM card is really unusual; love the way you've teared the front of the card to reveal the inside. So pretty.
ResponderEliminarHugs.

WOW Loli what an interesting post, you have gone closer to the Olympics than most in the UK have, great photos, your paralympic swimmer is just incredible to have overcome his difficulties and become a champion, amazing. As for the guns etc, we have been on alert for so many years, I suppose it has become "normal" to see in London. It would be unusual to see them them in any other part of the UK.
ResponderEliminarYour cards are great, I love how you have done the tearing.
ah so you were in London for the Olympics and I see you also got to go to John Lewis!
ResponderEliminarGreat photos and a great sport card. I love your inventive tearing, it makes for a great card.

Great idea !!!
ResponderEliminarhugs hellerlittle
Wow - all the way from Spain and you made it to the Oylmpic park - we didn't manage to see anything live (although we did see Jessica's medal when she brought it back to Sheffield on Friday) Hope you had a good time in the park.
ResponderEliminarYour card is brilliant for our challenge - I too am amazed by the paralympians. We just had a drama on TV about how the games came about (they started in Stoke Mandeville hospital in the UK) and it was really interesting to see how they evolved.
Your LIM card is genius btw too - tearing the front was inspired.
Thanks for your continued support of our St Luke's challenge - we do love to see you play along each month.
