There is something wrong with this Beijing Olympic Games, right?
I don't know, the gymnastic judging have been awful, so is boxing and every sport where the winner is chosen by a judge rather than by competition. Also the air, and the murder thing. The 12 hour difference with United States don't make it better. In fact giving it a rate of 10, where 10 is perfect and 1 is well horrible, I will give these games a 6, yeah a 6.
Comparing I gave the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympic games an 8, the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympic Games a 9 and the Athens 2004 Summer Olympic Games an 7.5
What do you think?
How do you rate this Beijing Olympic Games?
9.5
Points for 1) great opening ceremony
2) appreciative crowd
3) good facilities built to enable world-class performances
4) outstanding efforts made to improve air quality in Beijing
5) good host to all countries participating in the olympics
6) providing top-notch security in the face of threats from
agitators, saboteurs, Tibetan trouble-makers;
7) providing fair commentaries for all sports (in Chinese),
and not overly-biased in reports of achievements; wide
coverage given to athletes of most nations
not over-indulging in coverage of local heroes, hence,
did not portray the "blowing of own trumpets" syndrome
The above points should endear world audience to the olympics show that are progressing very well at the moment. There is respect shown by the host to all participating nations, which is the most important factor. And, all are made to feel welcomed.
