violence is assured unfortunately... i also predict some serious health issues for long-distance athletes. i just hope the US doesnt embarrass itself in such delicate times...

It doesn't really matter if they aren't at this stage. The show must go on...

The US has already been made to look a bit silly after some of their cyclists got off the plane wearing facemasks to protect against the "bad air".:blink:
Prima-bloody-donnas, as one of my colleagues put it.

Ah, I see. However there may be an uproar if any gold medalists wore face masks during the events.
(also, I remember some stock footage on the mainstream media showing the locals wearing face masks while outside.) I guess its like a skater (wheels) wearing pads and a helment, they sure look dumb, but they're not likely to get hurt either.

I don't call a 0:0 between Germany and Brasil "kicked off".
Sweden and China played yesterday, ladies football, loss for the Swedes

What do you find amazing in that?At least from what im seeing right now, they were ready for the ceremony!
I'm just amazed
Share your thoughts on this.
It's enough to went there once to see that they are building and developing at crazy speeds.
In Shanghai, for example, there are a new skyscraper built every 8 days.
No reasons for them not to be ready.

He's saying that the opening ceremony was amazing. Which it was.
A new skyscraper every 8 days? I know Shanghai is developing fast, but that seems to a bit too sensational.
