While watching the Olympics the other night, I cameacross an incredible(难以置信的) sight. The  36  wasswimming and started with only three men. For one reason or another, two ofthem had a 37 start, so they were disqualified. That wouldhave been difficult enough, not having anyone to  38 against.

I watched the man  39  off the blocksand knew immediately that something was wrong. Now I’m not an expert  40 but I do know a good dive 41 a poor one, and this was notexactly medal  42  . I listened to the crowd begin to 43 this poor man that was clearly having a  44  time.Finally he made his turn to start back. It was 45  he made a fewdesperate(拼命的) stroke(划水) andyou could tell he was exhausted.

But in those few  46 strokes, thecrowd had changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to  47 .Some even began to  48  things like, “Come on, you can do it!”and he 49  finished his race. The crowd went  50 .Even though he recorded one of the  51 times in Olympic history,this man gave more heart than any of the other 52 .

In a competition where athletes remove their silvermedals, feeling they have  53 been cheated out of gold, orwhen they act so  54  in front of their competitors, it is nice towatch an underdog(败者), a man that gave his all --- knowing thathe had no chance, but competed because of his  55  and thespirit of the games.
