Rio 2016

Rio here we come 
Where are these Tiger Stripes from? 
The Malaysian contingent 
On Olympic medals bent 
From the other side of the world 
Looking for silver and gold. 

For the Malaysian team  
A 26 hour in flight dream 
A pinnacle for sports  
Athletes in high spirits caught 
Competing against the world`s best 
For the Tiger Stripes a difficult quest. 

With fighting spirit forging 
Competitors overcoming 
Breaking Olympic and World records 
Full praise must accord 
Cruising over Brazil 
Over rain forest covered hills 

With outstretched hands standing on a hill 
 Christ the Redeemer standing still  
Seeing such spectacular features 
Also Copacabana, Panema beaches 
Samba dancers with a warm welcome 
Tiger Stripes with all these overcome.

Archery, Athletics, Women`s Tract Weightlifting 
Syncronised Diving, Cycling and Swimming  
Climax with badminton 
Three golden chances gone 
Mixed doubles, doubles final 
Lee Chong Wei`s distress in singles final. 

His nemesis Chen Long 
All wondering what went wrong 
Still the best ever performance 
Four Silvers and one Bronze 
Para Olympians, one Bronze three Golds 
Tigers Stirpes determined and bold. 

Our team a rousing welcome 
Well-wishers receive them back home 
In 2020 at the Tokyo Olympics a new chance 
All must prepare well in advance 
Mind and inner strength bold 
The ASEAN cart rolled with silver and gold.
