well, regardles of what she was told ,she now knows the official chinese government quote about the incident.....

"the national interest requires that the girl should have good looks"

ouch. that girl is going to grow up with severe low self esteem. her own countrys government essencially said your too ugly for the world to see.

thing is, I wouldnt have thought anything of her looks if she was singing and not the lipsinger and there wasnt all this drama. she also looked cute to me anyways.

That is so stupid for them to choose what they feel is a cuter kid and use someone else's voice. What a stupid and unfair thing to do. And Phelps is going to have how many more gold medals? How many times do the swimmers compete? It seems like everyday they are competing. By the time its over he will have a total of 20 gold medals.

It's interesting how in this generation, our (Australian) girls seem to do so much better then the guys.
I wonder why.


Just want to say something about boycotts. In ancient Greece the Olympic games were
deliberately intended to bring together cities that were in conflict. Sometimes wars were
ended by this.

So while I agree with using boycotts sometimes, the Olympics is the one event that
should never be boycotted. It shows ignorance of the whole tradition and ideals of
the games.

If you have Olympic boycotts you could never have stories like Jesse Owens

"That Jesse Owens was rubbish.....couldn't run, couldn't jump, etc....."

Usian Bolt is quite astounding. He will destroy the world record in the 100m Final tomorrow.

btw, I hadn't realised that Luis Aragones coached basketball too.....

Dickhead me posted in the wrong thread. Hop over to the footy topic to see Steve McLaren embarressing himself some more

A world record by Bolt in the men's 100 m final.Fantastic!

I think he should start taking requests for what to do in the last ten metres. Juggling? A mime show? Punch and Judy?

This Olympics has had all kinds of drama. Really crazy things going on.

Yes, indeed he did. I wonder what time he could have set in the 100m if he had given it his all. That 200m win was unbelievable, he was quite simply on a another planet than the rest of the field. That Michael Johnson record was considered probably the hardest athletics record to beat. Mind you, he did only JUST beat it, but unlike th 100m race, there's no doubt that he ran the 200m with the explicit goal of setting a new world record.

Usain Bolt: THE star of Olympics 2008.

I love the fact his surnames Bolt and he's a runner
