Hello everyone!

I apologize that I didn't introduce myself yesterday. I found this
group late at night and I was too sleepy to write anything sensible
(considering that English is my second language which I still learn).
So I had to put it off.

Here's a little info about me.

Name: Madi
State/Country: Warsaw, Poland

Favorite Sports: playing Basketball and Football (Soccer), watching
Tennis, Summer and Winter Olympics. I love watching sports (basically
every sporting event).

Hobbies: studying international relations (and issues such us: world
matters, conflicts, geopolitics, climate change and more), learning
about arts and cultures of other nations. I usually say that I'm
interested in everything what interests me :)

First time you saw Cathy: 1996 in Atlanta. I saw her in the 400m
semifinal and well... there was something about her. I saw that great
passion in her eyes. And the way she run... so naturally as if she
loved it. So from that moment I've became her devoted fan. But it was
the internet that gave me more opportunities to find news and
informations about her.

Did you bother your family watching ever bit she was on on the
Olympics? (lol): My parents know that I'm crazy about sports. So I
had no problem with 'forcing' them (lol) to watch the 400m final. My
parents enjoyed the race very much and lighting the cauldron as well.
By the way the opening ceremony was fabulous... especially Cathy.
I was so nervous before her every race. And I was nervously mad
before the final. And her victory was one of the greatest moments
I've ever seen and which I will never forget.
Every detail of this event is phenomenal for me. Cathy is a
phenomenal athlete and a great inspiration.
I have all her Olympic races recorded on one videotape so maybe
someday I will be able to show it to younger people and tell them
that dreaming is not a waste of time.

Any good websites that you recommend?: I humbly recommend mine..
There you can find nice computer wallpapers with nature to download.

That's all about me.

I have one question. There's an information that Cathy is left-handed
but I saw a photo of her giving an autograph with her right hand.
So... is Cathy right-handed or left-handed?

Oh, you can find me on ICQ: #31971218
