I think they will, and I think the Americans will find it very hard to take.

There's no democracy there, no free press, and it's a Communist country. Why did the IOC decide to award it to Beijing?

I am a student in China.

Some people think that the government shouldn't spend a lot of money on big, expensive sports facilities because there are more pressing needs in society. What do you think?

Chinese government spent $40 billion on 2008 Olympic
Maybe this even will bring huge wealth to China
BUT I really think that all the money should spent on something more important (such as food security,human rights,air pollution ...)

In the Olympics, each country sends a team to compete against all the other countries. But some countries are very large and some are very small. A large country, like the USA or Russia or China, has many more athletes to choose from than a tiny country does. So is it fair that they must compete against each other?

Maybe they should have three different divisions: small, medium, and large countries. You only compete against your own division.

Maybe there should be a population limit, (like Little League Baseball does). Each state of the USA would send a separate team. Very small countries would combine teams.

The way it is done now, can Lictenstein or Monaco every win against the USA or Russia?

I have always heard that in order to compete in the Olympics you have to be an "amatuer' athlete, and figure skaters for example, have to keep that status as long as they want to compete. But hockey players on olympic teams are all from the nhl, they are profesionals, so what is the deal?

I want to get started on being able to do somewhat decently on th Pommel horse. But i have no experience in gymnastics? What must I do to be able to rotate at least once on the Pommel horse?

It seems like you need good balance and strong arms? What should I work on to get started before I actually attempt the Pommel horse?

She did a terrible thing and her teammates are going to suffer because of it. Should they also be stripped of their medals that they did indeed work hard for or should only Marion be stripped of hers?

If you take into account the fact that countries like USA and China have a huge pool of people to find thier athletes from, then their olympic medals will probably be brought into line with countries with smaller populations but less medals, such as Italy or Finland. So my question is: by looking at the ratio of population to medals, which do you think is the best country at sport?
