Dear Editor,
Niall Roberts: Olympian (Aquatics) and flag bearer of “The Golden Arrowhead” at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games (29th Olympiad).
The million dollar response from a private audience with this Olympian reads the following: “As an athlete, it’s your biggest dream to compete at the highest level possible. To compete at the Olympics, to have the title ‘Olympian’, I have not had a better feeling, was never more proud and will not have a greater honour that night walking into the stadium during the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympics, and carrying my country’s flag, high and proud. I saw myself on the big screen, got cold, my skin grew all over, my hair on my hands were up and I almost cried.” This in my books represents a lifelong memory which is un-erasable.
Yours faithfully
T Pemberton
