Are China Caught up in the medal game of old?

Question

It is so bad they are willing to break rules to satisfy their gold fever.This again reminds me of the cold war.

Answer 1

Oh boy, in before the anti-American lying crybabies.

Answer 2

Cheating is wrong and I hold it against them.

2 wrongs don't' make a right and this is one stupid way of showing America how "changed" they are.

corrupt commie china, and will always be that way.

Answer 3

I think China did very good at preparing for the Olympics. They have won like 36 Gold Medals, compared to United States' 22. They have worked very hard and this is a big moment in their history.

More people have cheated in the Olympics then any other sports event in the world. It is almost known for cheating. I would not be surprised if China tried to get a few advantages. I don't hold it against them. They do much worse things, like oppress Tibetans. So, who cares if the gymnast is 12-years old?

Answer 4

lol.

Maybe America is caught up in the medal game?

Just because China is doing so well in the Olympics...

Nobody said anything when America was TopDog eh?

Answer 5

Some people say the Americans are being cry-babies about the gymnastics age situation, but there's been SEVERAL instances where a Chinese Olympiad has been favored or had rules bent for them and others where weird rules have penalized other athletes.

It serves them right with the whole "empty seats" problem they're having. Lets just hope they lash out at the IOC who then learns their lesson about giving the Olympic location to a Communist censored country.

Answer 6

China is just another example that Communism doesn't work. They can't abide by the rules of the games and they are unable to produce quality athletes without enhancement or out-and-out lying about them. wait until the olympics are finished, they will get their due.

Answer 7

You can be mad about Nastia not getting gold, but you have to blame the correct people: the JUDGES. None of the judges were Chinese or American (they aren't allowed to be), so you can only blame those that were there. It's really not China's fault that the judges did what they did.

Answer 8

Can't we all just get along.........

in a feww weeks noones even going to remember this.......

get a life all you antiUSA or antiCHINA olympic nutbags!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

China are communist cheaters that will do anything including hire ignorant uneducated judges, take 3 year old's to become robots, falsify proof of age, and cheat  cheat cheat to make their so called history...how pathetic!  Do they think the world is that stupid? I think not!

Answer 10

Someone posted these links as "proof" that the Chinese are illegally changing the birthdates of their athletes so it may appear that they are of legal age to participate in the Olympiad.  See what happens when you click on them.

hhhmm...is it ALWAYS a coincidence that any proof or information that is posted on the Internet or even in print somehow disappears and is no longer available to the public...i.e., newspapers in China quoting different ages and bdays for one same athlete - with direct quotes from the athletes themselves - and then even a different one on the passport? how many different birthdays can one single person have!..

or publications discussing the lip syncher Chinese officials hired to "sing" in the opening ceremony as opposed to having the girl whose voice they used appear because she was too "ugly" and "fat" to appear during the ceremony..oh and had crooked teeth! come on, how must that little 7 year old girl felt! how disgraceful and disrespectful.

Not to mention the insane number of world records broken at these games because of the way the buildings, roofs, walls, pools, tracks, structure, materials, foundation, basically everything in the arenas have been designed and built!  These people are obsessed!  What would be wrong with a standard pool in a good ol' standard stadium?  Nothing..but not for the Chinese because they want these games to be known as the best..too bad they're the most sucky!

I understand the Chinese want these games to be the "perfect" games because they always try to be perfect at everything, but nothing can be perfect, and they don't realize that in their strive for unrealistic perfection. And besides, they are only giving themselves a bad name by trying to be known for the most "perfect" games because they are not honest and sincere in their approaches..these Olympics are a big joke!

Answer 11

I heard their training their 7 yr olds 7 hours a day for the future :S,

The Olympics isn't just about gold if it was most people won't bother competing
