Bejing 2008 Olympic

14 days great games. China won big with 51 gold medals and 100 medals in total. The first time China is in the first place of golds and the second place in the totals.

US won 36 golds which put it in the second place but a total 110 medals in leading of all other countries.

In all US news these days, the table is in the order of total medals so US is still the #1 Sports country. Americans always think and believe they are the greatest country in all categories, despite its economy's sliding down these days.

Bejing 2008 Olympic is a good sign for China's rising. But the city evictions of the poor and immigrant workers are really appaling. It would be better if its political advancements could be in pair with its economic growth.

Ok, back to the games ---

Micahel Phelps, Usain Bolt are the two great athelets in the 2008 olympics. Phelps won 8 swimming medals and Bolt renewed three world records in 100 meter, 200 meter and 100 meter relays. Great great performace.

Of course the great efforts of Chinese atheletes to achieve the 51 gold medals are being appreciated by 13 billion Chinese people.

Bird nest, Water cube, Artistic opening ceremony, Extravagant closing party....
All will be in the memeory of the world, and the history.

奥运像一场盛宴,给我们带来很多欢乐,至于谁得多少金牌我倒无所谓了。很喜欢开幕式的表演!

BTW,奥运期间驱逐民工的事我倒没有听说过,不过为认真当好东道主,奥运期间的一些管制措施确实给北京人民带来了诸多不便,但是绝大多数人都理解的。国家大人口多,有时候强权比民主更有效率。尽管如此,中国的进步还是让老百姓看得见。
