Tales from the Diplomatic Corps 5

Hey folks!

Things are taking up speed on the Olympic homepage and now we are introduced to a new Ambassador every day - hooray! We stopped with Brazil yesterday, so today it's time for Chivinn from Cambodia. Being a former wrestler, Chivinn is a really strong guy, but don't let his finishing move fool you: He is a very calm and absolutely peaceful person. To illustrate this, I want to share the following story with you.

In Singapore, we decided to make a little video for Suzanne, who is responsible for us at the IOC and always keeps us uptodate with the latest trends. Unfortunately, she didn't come to Singapore, so we made a little video to thank her for the amazing job she is doing. The task was simple: We were sitting on the bus, Callum was walking down the aisle with a camera and everybody should say some acknowledging words in his/her native tongue or in English respectively.

Chivinn was sitting one row behind me and when it was his time, he said: "Hey Suzanne. I love you!!!". Unfortunately, the video is not public, but believe me: It is one of the cutest moments we had in Singapore. I honestly doubt that there has ever been a better case of "Love at first Youtube video" in the history of the world. In this spirit: Let there be love!
