COMMENT | The Olympics has just ended. Personally, I am relieved because now we can stop hearing from all the instant sports experts that suddenly emerged from the woodwork with all kinds of comments, criticism, and complaints.

These “Professor Serba Tahu” are experts from the most popular sport like the 100m sprint right down to the most obscure ones like curling. But of course, in Malaysia, everyone’s an expert in badminton, diving, and cycling.

I like sports and there are a few favourites that I follow like basketball and a little bit of football. Now I have to admit, during the Olympics, I like to watch a lot more but I don’t think I’m much of a “Professor Serba Tahu”.

For example, I had to Google “keirin cycling” to get ready before I could comfortably sit down to watch Azizulhasni Awang and Shah Firdaus Sahrom compete. But I enjoy it and it’s fun to see our Malaysian athletes competing on the world stage.
