The Chinese have already been caught cheating and the games have not even begun.
Several of the gymnasts that will represent china will be under the required age of 16. Here is an article that mentions one only being 14. http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90779/90867/6416685.html Here are a couple of videos....yes gymansts are small, but these girls are suspected to be 12-14 |

The summer olympics blow. It's too easy to win multiple medals in the swimming events, and running, on its own, is boring. Running and then diving to catch
a football is more impressive.

Are they still being aired by the network of brain surgeons that thought 384 consecutive hours of John Tesh would improve the ratings?

I only watch Olympic hockey.
You won't find me watching Synchronized Trampoline for the four years leading up to the Olympics, so I don't know why I'd watch it during the Olympics. |

What's wrong with gymnasts only being 12-14? Is there an age limit? I thought Nadia was 14 when she scored all those perfect 10's?

So...which events are you all looking forward to? Avoiding?
The only Summer Olympic sport I follow/pay attention to is gymnastics (woman) although I enjoy watchig the men as well. I have been watching the trials on NBC and am very excited for the actual competition once the games begin. ..the rest? Meh. |
