2008 Beijing Summer Olympics

they should get stripped of one medal at least, they have a 13 year old girl on the gymnastics team and the limit is 16. not to mention all the controversy over the opening ceremony, fake fireworks, lipsyncing kid, ect.

What you think of China getting most of the gold ?

I think that the referees are in the chines side . I watched some event where chines get a high mark even they do not perform good .

 

There was only one event where I really felt there was Chinese favouritism and that was the womens gymanstics - beams. Other than that, I dont really know where china got all their medals from, they seem to have got the majority of their golds before track'n'field events have even started (does team golds count as x3 or x4 gold maybe?).

 

other than that, only thing I should mention is Usain Bolt. I'm far too much of a cynic to not think there is something dodgy going on with that guy. He wasn't even going to run the 100m? Now, after that ridiculous performance in the 100m ("Don't run full speed, you'll draw too much suspicion. Maybe do what Asafa Powell does and always lose in the finals, even though he's at least 0.1 secs faster than everyone else..." except it looked like Bolt forgot that until the last 20m), it looks like he'll give a more 'convincing' performance in the 200m.

IOC says their ages are legit. Their 16 and you don't exactly calling the IOC a bunch of liers.

 

On the favoritism part, Women Gymnastics was probably where it all was. It's by far the most hype event at this olympics after, uh, well what else is there to talk about. Women Gymnastics is the Olympics this year as far as I'm concerned with all the drama behind it.

 

(And I <3 Women Beach Volleyball)

[L.S.D]

I don't bother with it except for Badminton where my country lost to CHina in the final

USA Women's Beach Volleyball win again!

 

And since when were there cheerleaders for the event? All of a sudden when there was a timeout there were more girls in bikinis dancing around the court...
