&lt;p&gt;Quando candido&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;il suono compone&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;un chiarore e &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;una dolce poesia&lt;/p&gt;

For the spectator, even looking at archers and shooters, calmly go about their activities is an exciting experience. My deep appreciation and gratitude goes out to Mr Usain Bolt, and Mr Phelps, for making &amp;nbsp;this Olympic Games what it is. I do not care much for the 100 M sprint, but I feel that Mr Carl Lewis represented the track and field event to a lot of people. This is indeed significant, considering that Mr Daley Thompson, &amp;nbsp;Mr Sergei Bubka, and Mr Edwin Moses, also represented the track and field event. For me, the epitome of perceived athletic beauty, was Mr Carl Lewis participating in the 100 M sprint.&lt;/p&gt;
