Sure, China won the most gold medals in the recently concluded Olympics but not without controversy.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics have finally concluded with China becoming the winningnest country among the competing nations in Beijing. And although the United States won the most overall medals, China won where it counts and that’s the race for gold.

Team China won 51 gold medals, the most among all the competing nations in the Olympics. However, there seems to be questions that need some answers about China’s gold-winning gymnastics team that can put their dominance of the Olympics in question.

Age falsification has been a problem in gymnastics since the 1980s after the minimum age was raised from 14 to 15 to protect young athletes from serious injuries. In 1997, the minimum age was raised to 16, and that minimum age limit is still being used today.

And although younger gymnasts are more prone to injuries, they are still considered to have an advantage because they are more flexible and are likely to have an easier time doing the…

Well, sort of anyway…

On Wednesday, the 2008 Beijing Olympics will have ”war,” probably in a literal sense as Alexandra Shiryaeva and Natalie Uryadova of Russia face Cristine Santanna and Andrezza Chagas of Georgia in an Olympic beach volleyball match.

For all ya’ll who didn’t know, Russia and Georgia have been blowing each other to smithereens the last couple of weeks. Hundreds of lives have already been lost since Russia invaded the breakaway region of Georgia which happens to be South Ossetia.

And if you missed it on TV, the scenes depicting this war was horrific, to say the least. You can just imagine the hatred that has developed between Russia and Georgia. Knowing that, will the four women players representing the two countries at war meet at center court and shake hands? Hmm…

International Olympic Committee (IOC) communications director Giselle Davies, for some reason, is happy about the fact that both countries were determined not to withdraw their athletes from the Games of the XXIX Olympiad.

”That very much reflects the Olympic spirit and values of the Games,” Davies said. ”The IOC believes this is absolutely the right decision especially for the athletes for whom this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The problem is, both Russia and Georgia couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Both countries would rather throw bombs than congratulate each other in a sporting event.

But perhaps what each country will be…

They should have something to prove come August 8.

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is merely a few days away and the USA basketball team wants one thing and one thing only, GOLD. You don’t need a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

While other countries may be satisfied with a silver or bronze, Team USA don’t have the same luxury. Showcasing the best athletes in the world, there is no excuse on God’s green earth that the red, white and blue shouldn’t retrieve what to them is rightfully theirs.

Taking a deeper look on Team USA, it is fun to watch these players take pride in every sport that they play.

They are backed up by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). The Committee supports American athletes, specifically Olympic athletes and selects which athletes will participate in the Games of the Olympiad, the Olympic Winter Games, and the Pan American Games. The Committee also provides training centers, funds, and support staff to elite athletes.

The USOC also acts as the United States representative for all Olympic matters, including for the…

Probably because they don’t want to have the same number of doping scandals this year’s Tour de France had.

The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China is almost here and the event’s organizers have begun running here and there to bring its fans the best only the Olympic Games so rightfully deserve.

In fact, the International Olympic Committee has come up with ”anti-doping rules” that they are hoping to be the answer to the somewhat dangerous trend the world of sports is in these days.

For starters, they have increased the number of tests in these Olympic events. From the 3,600 tests they made back in the 2004 Athens Olympics, they moved it up to 4,500 for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing, a clear example how they want to have fair play on the biggest sporting event of the year.

There are some new elements of the ruling too, like one where an athlete may be notified and tested more than once during the same day. If an athlete misses a test on two separate occasions during the Olympic Games, or on one occasion plus twice in the 18 months beforehand, that athlete will be considered to…

NO, this is not about the hottest club in China people.

What this is about is the places and stadiums the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will take place. Since international sports tournaments like this one have a bunch of games one athlete can play in, they’ll need more than just a little oval field.

The Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, will take place from August 8 to August 24 at the Beijing National Stadium. In this international multi-sport event of 2008, athletes from all over the world will be participating.

China, being the host country in this quadrennial event has made major preparations particularly in the venues where athletes from different parts of the globe will play.

The Chinese government has promoted the games to highlight China’s emergence on the world stage. A large number of Olympic venues have been selected for the Beijing Games.

The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games (BOCOG) is the organizer of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad. About a…
