Where has the " Spirit " gone !!!!


Every morning I watch India's news and read articles @ Rediff.
Rediff is my primary source of info when it comes to interesting articles. Today when i opened Rediff's site i saw a an article which was on a Cuban martial atrs Olympian. He hit the Match referee ( actually kicked him on his face ). The reason was that the referee ruled the match in favor of the Cuban guy's opponent due to something ( the match wasnt over officially ). I dont know who was at fault, but hitting the officials or the opponents is just not in the spirit of the any game. Even if it was the referee's fault, he should have gone and talked to the event chairperson or the olympics commitee.
I do understand that these atheletes get only one shot in 4 years, so things are intence and the pressure of Olympics is in itself is titanic. So its very easy to get carried away and do things like these... but why take matters in your hands and be the " LAW ". Its is quite possible that the Cuban guy wont get to represent his country anymore in any international event. He just did not kick the referee, he also kicked his future Goodbye !!!!!.

What was even more disappointing, was when the Cuban guy hit the referee, the other guy was still rejoicing over his circumstantial victory. He just did not care about what was going on at the other end. He was busy is monkey style dancing.
He didn't even make any attempt to stop the Cuban guy from going any further.

here is the video : ... initially few pics will be displayed but after a while the complete video on the incident will start.
