I'm starting this discussion because there have been many disagreeable responses to another discussion I started that was questioning the age of the Chinese gymnasts. I'm sprry to have brought up such a controversial subject, so I'd like to express my true feelings about the Olympics.
To me, the Olympics is a celebration and competition of the human potential. It's simply amazing what the human body can accomplish! The Olympics is a display and celebration of what our race can do. I'm proud of all the athletes who train and come to represent their countries. We should all be proud of what great feats can be accomplished when someone puts their minds to it, and dreams big!

Hi wrld,
[i]I agree but we also can't stop people giving their opinions if there are obvious cheating...It should be fair and each team must stick to rules..ANyway, i do know also if those are true but I know it's happening to some event!
Like, in our Country before, people found out that students were told to lie about their ages! Not a good modeling![/i]
