anyone else surprised at olympics
I don't ever remember the Chinese being so dominant with this many Gold medals in the Summer Olympics.
I always knew they were good in gymnastics because they breed the kids from like 2 years old and more then likely falsefy documents so girls younger then 16 can participate, but what I am surprised at is the number of gold medals for weightlifting, shooting and rowing.
Hell I can even understand judo and badminton and archery, but what the hell is going on in the other events.
Am I crazy or does it seem like China either spent years preparing for their home olympics, or is there possibly some other reason they are doing so well this year???

here's what they won, a lot of the dinky sports IMO. But give the chinese credit. In 10 years the chinese will be the top power in the world, bceause they don't dick around with political correctness and all the bull shit that holds us back.

I heard that for the first time they actually allowed foreign coaches to come in over the past few years to train their athletes. Obviously you would want to do everything you can to do well with the olympics in your country.

i dont even wanna talk about the womens gymnastics. #1 the US handed them the damn gold *wtf happened to our perfect girls!?!* #2 they cheated, those girls are to young. NO WAY are they 16, they look like 12 year olds (there has been a huge argument about that and people want the IOC to investigate further)... not that im saying i want the gold stripped from them because no matter what their age, they were better. but it still sucks...

I can't figure out what happened to the whole individual un-even bars for Liukin.
She TIED the Chinese girl in points. Exactly. But somehow she ended up with a silver?
I missed the event, so maybe someone can explain it to me.. but I'm sick of the girls gymnastics. When they really are better than everyone else, so be it. But when a Chinese girl falls to her knees in an event, or a Chinese guy falls off the still rings, and they both medal instead of other athlete's not from China that had decent routines and DIDN'T fall................... Something seems off.

Statistically speaking, when you have ~25% of the worlds population you're bound to have a few people that excell at things.

It was kinda like the gymnist that were on last night where they run jump off the spring board ect(forget what its called) Anyways the U.S. girl had 2 ok landings and the chinese girl had a good landing and then a bad landing right on her knees but yet her score for her horrible landing was still better than the U.S girls ok landings. Even falling on here knees she still ends up with a bronze medal and pushed the U.S. girl to fourth. It was really pathetic how obvious they made it that the chinese teams are favored since there the host nation.

What about in the Girls Vault final for gymnastics when alicia sacrimone had 2 decent vaults and barely lost her balance but didnt medal. Yet the Chinese girl who fell on her fuckin knees and shins gets a bronze.

They are messing with these kids ages because in gymnastics age is the curse. Also china is winning so much because its in china. The judging is fucked up and people are noticing this. They have to be 16 to compete yet a year earlier one of the girls was 14...
The real winners are the ones that do not count on judges and just look how many of those china has been wining compared to the rest of the world.
