I think the bowlers did really well, considering the quality of
the field. The koreans are good, let alone on homesoil; taiwanese
are always consistent; the middle-eastern players are very good
too. I think the squad was only expected to medal, but not many
would have given them a chance for gold.
I have to admit, when i heard the results of Remy's gold in the
singles, I thought the rest had a bad day. But upon hearing the
scores, I think he was outstanding. 
The award of ΒΌ-million dollars sounds a lot, and it is. But it has
always been that way to incentivise sports over studies locally.
Unfortunately, many parents still do not see the merits.
*sigh*
We have to have an open mind because some may think that's too much
money for a single feat. Bearing in mind all the work all the
atheletes put in that we do not see, I think it's well-deserved.
Afterall, the SSC doesn't pay professional atheletes well at all.
(Full-time bowlers get about $2000 a month for "allowance", the
last I heard. With the financial problems STBC have been having, I
guess that wouldn't change much.)
Last note: I think the bodybuilders did just as well, if not
better, than the bowlers. 
Theirs is the kind of training that really
breaks both mind and spirit. Well done to them.
