Gold Medal For Lebanon @ Beijing Olympics

Alf Mabrouk for Lina !
And best of luck for our 6 athletes in the upcoming days !

BEIRUT: A painting by Lebanese artist Lina Kilikian won the gold medal at an international exhibition of art in China preceding and accompanying the 2008 Olympic Games opening on Friday in Beijing. For the exhibit entitled Colors and the Olympics, in which hundreds of sculptures and paintings by about 700 artists from 81 countries around the world were competing, Kilikian submitted three works, one of which won.

Kilikian will travel to the Chinese capital on Saturday to receive the gold medal and an Olympic torch as an award for her winning painting called “The Terrestrial Globe During the 21st Century.”

I was holding a blank paper and some painting pens, so I drew what I was feeling at that moment. I drew the way wars can change the landmarks of the terrestrial globe and hurt human beings along with the pollution and the catastrophes of the nature,” she told The Daily Star.

    Does anyone think they have the balls to do it?

    ذكت صحيفة “النهار” ان هناك موجة داخل نواب 14 آذار تدعو للتصويت بورقة بيضاء او الامتناع عن التصويت احتجاجا على سلوك المعارضة بعد اتفاق الدوحة والتي “نالت الثلث المعطل في الحكومة وقانون الانتخاب لعام 1960 وادراجها طرفا مستقلا في معادلة ثلاثية تتضمن حق الشعب والجيش والمقاومة في التحرير، لكنها كابرت ورفضت عبارة “في كنف الدولة” لتحديد اطار المقاومة”.

    In fact Solange and Elia Atallah will not vote for trust. It is a very good and promising move, but unfortunately not enough.

    Mabrouk for Lebanon the Gold Medal, it will be the last one, since I don’t think any of our athletes will be able to win any medal.
