2008 Olympic Disapointment

Why are the Olympics a disappointment this year?


Two of the Chinese gymnasts are definitely underage, violating that ‘you must be 16’ rule. Sure, the Chinese government came up with some easily created passports saying otherwise, but when you’re a communist country, there are no checks and balances. Who is to say the government itself isn’t lying.


Remember that cute little girl who sang in the in the opening ceremonies. Well, she wasn’t really singing. The Chinese government decided the origional girl who sang wasn’t cute enough, recorded her voice and had the girl we all saw lip-sync. Disgusting.


You thought America had a pollution problem, think again. China’s number one killer is pollution. A graphic, for those of you visual people.


China doesn’t only censor its citizen’s internet access, but also those of foreign reporters, even though China said “foreign media will be able to freely report and publish their work freely in China.”


However in some positive news, Phelps won 8 golds, and didn’t cheat: Phelps’ Miracle Finish in photos, courtesy of Sports Illustrated, in the 100-meter butterfly against Serbia’s Milorad Cavic.
