Nowitzki to finally live the Olympic dream

July 22, 2008

The other day Germany grabbed the final spot in the Beijing Olympic men’s basketball tournament. For Dirk Nowitzki it was a special moment.

On the reuters countdown to Beijing site Erik Kirschbaum wrote about how much it meant for Nowitzki to finally get to play in an Olympic basketball tournament.

This shows the special place that the Olympics has in the hearts of many a sportsman or woman and fans of the greatest sporting show on earth. Nowitzki earns millions playing in the NBA for the Dallas Mavericks however he probably gets more joy from playing for free while representing Germany at the China Olympics.

For myself the Olympics are special. I love to watch every moment that I can. I also love to read and study everything written about the Olympics.

With just under 17 days to go until the opening ceremony I am getting excited. It is even more exciting as in one week I will myself be in Beijing.

The first thing I will be doing is checking out the Olympic venues for myself. Watch for more from Beijing after July 30.
