Funny Olympics? And "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho? ?

Question

Does anyone know of an interesting or funny event/happening at the 2008 Beijing summer olympics?

Also, who would be a good actor to play Santiago if a movie were to be made of the book "the Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho?

Answer 1

Hmm, not funny but quite gross.

When the guy doing weight lifting dislocated his elbow!

Answer 2

in the swimming events just before the race when the camera introduces each swimmer and you see some of them wear see through goggles and the goggles are so tight that their eyes bulge out...that is pretty interestingO_O funniest is when that beach volleyball player nicknamed, "Jaws" screams and shows his scary teeth when he is hyped up.either that or the opening/closing ceremonies are pretty interesting.
