7．I'm not an athlete，but I am a lover of the Olympics．My biggest sports moment ever didn't require me to be the fastest，the highest，or the strongest．It just required me to be in the right place at the right time，and catch the opportunity when it came to me．It was to carry our national flag for the Olympic Torch Relay．
As a part of the celebration，flag bearers（旗手）were needed．I served in the army at that time and the Olympic organizers asked for volunteers to help carry some of the flags．Although it demanded that I give up part of my weekends and get up early，I thought that it was the chance of a lifetime．
There were several different groups that took part in the event as flag bearers．We soldiers were going to be out in front leading them．On the day of the event，we arrived early at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum．Many people arrived to see the flame arrive from Greece，and the beginning of the Olympic Torch Relay．It was exciting to wait for our turn to enter the coliseum．
As a flag bearer，I was supposed to run out in front．Though the flag was fairly heavy，I picked it up and ran with it．I ran past rows of people．I ran through television cameras．It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life，being able to carry our national flag in an international event like thp Olympics．I was very proud of it．
I had never been able to attend the Olympics，and I might never be important enough to carry an Olympic torch or anything like that，but I did get to carry our national flag in the torch relay，although I will no longer have the opportunity to carry the flag in the Olympics，and that would be one sports experience that would be difficult to forget．
