Olympic athletes arrive at Querzakhi

It was 16.03 o'clock when the team of the Saidercrayan Olympic Commitee (SOC) left the airplane of SaidercrAir after a flight of several hours and set foot on the earth of the city Querzakhi, on whose stadium the eyes of the sports world will fix during the coming days.

For the first time ever, Saidercray will be represented by these athletes at a supraregional sporting event. The men and women from 18 to 39 years are a mothley mixed ensemble of nationwidely famous notabilities and young, aspiring talents like Michael Arebarm or Susan Chaah. The nation's hope for medals focusses on the national football team, consisting mostly of the same players who enthused us half a year ago, the penthatletes, the female basketball team and the marathon runners.

The atmosphere within the team is dominated by anticipated joy towards world's most famous and most time-honoured sports competition with its history going back into the ancient days of Greek antiquity. Concerning the expectations towards success, most may subscribe to what 100m runner Disa Foldap said to an STV reporter at the arrival in the Olympic Village: "For most of us, this is the first international competition, thus it's hard to say where we stand compared to the others. But we're all highly motivated and want to emit the best for our country."

Directing the attention to the national football team's matches and to final decisions where Saidercrayan athletes can win medals, Saidercray Today will report from the Secund Summer Olympics. Let's keep our fingers crossed for our athletes.
