I think a lot of this is not just political it's economic's too. China is emerging as an econimic force to be reckoned with. The States owes China tons of money. It wasn't an accident that China was chosen to host the olympics. Endorsments advertising will open China doors further in the world economy. Most of the top medal winners are from countries that are politically and econimically significant.
In wrestling one Swede through his medal to the ground in disgust. Both he and his coach were convinced of judges favoutism. I'm not saying this happens in all cases, as some events are more convincingly merasured.
Bolts breaking of the 100 metres is hard to beleive. I say that cuz it keeps getting broken year after year. How long can you break a record like this. Unless you start wearing rocket shoes. I'm not disputing he won. That's obvious but still hard to beleive. I'd have to time it myself to beleive it.
Canada has only started winning a few. All this stuff doesn't matter a hill of beans to me. I mean really does anyone care that much, that isn't involved fiancially. I can assure you my gluten free bread will still be six dollars a loaf, and that's a small loaf too!
