Default 2008 Summer Olympics Thread... v. China

The Olympic Games are starting in a few days.

Anybody going to be watching? :wiggle:


Predictions on medal counts?
My guess will be no different than the last olympics with USA/CHINA/RUSSIA leading the way. Mainly because they send SOO many atheltes.

My favorite events are usually the Track/field type with the 100m dash as the top, then the marathon. Sadly a lot of good marathon runners have pulled out of the olympics because of China's pollution levels and the fear of damage it might do to their lungs... :hs:

Speaking of which, many countries have had athelets pull out because of this problem. Also i heard equestrian participants are not sending their horses because of fear of disease and pollution :ugh:
