Overall, has it been a boon to the world, or have there been too many downsides?
I have not really watched, anybody have a take on this?
-
Boring to say the least. The stadiums are half full. The fuckers only cheer for chinese athletes and it's dead quiet any other time. The atmosphere has no electricity. Nothing special at all. No one gives a fuck if a slant eye wins a gold. No honor in it.

Sydney shits all over it.
-
London should be good
-
"Re: Has Chinese Olypics been successful...?"
Yes, but your Spellcheck hasn't.
-
The games apparently have been well run. China is still a shit hole of a country though. HTH
-
Food delivery in small white boxes has been excellent.
-
From what standpoint? The Olympics should never have gone to China in the first place, as it was a recognition of the world offender of Human Rights in the world. The IOC should be ashamed of themselves. Letting bodybuilding into the games would have been a better idea than allowing Beijing to host them.
-
I've enjoyed it more than most years. A lot more surprises and a better showing from some smaller nations.
-
I think it's been an excellent Olympics - they get better every time and London will be better still.

Looks like the anti china propaganda is working on the sheep, thanks fox

Absolutely, anyone who thinks the Olympics is boring is a hater w/epic jealously for GREAT athletes.
-
who cares, people are always going to complain no matter where the Olympics are held, Australia, China, South America, US, Europe, there's always some bitter, disillusioned souls that will criticize everything.
-
I have found the games to particularly successful - the Chinese have done a great job hosting and everything organisational wise has been top notch.
The ceremony, stadiums and facilities have been world class and will remain unrivalled coming into London 2012. I think some of you let your bias against the Chinese affect your judgement when determining how successful the games have been.
The Great British team has been fantastic, i have been very impressed with our progress thus far - this has been our best performance for many many years and British athletes deserve an enormous amount of praise.

Agreed. The IOC are a bunch of fucking hypocrites and only care about $$$, fuck the "Olympic Ideal" Not only have they tuned a blind eye to Chinese human rights offenses, for years they let star athletes get away with being dirty and only disciplining 5th and 6th placers. Busting big names = loss of money.
The only reason the bust from the balco scandal came about was because a disgruntled trainer who hadn't been paid sent in a syringe. The inept IOC would have NEVER caught it.
Too bad. Imagine Bolt on THG. ;D

i tend to agree with that. i have been watching mostly track and field and its obvious the chinese dont know much about the different events.
the track and field events have been very good tho, but not thanks to the crowd. I dont think its necessary to call them slant eyes tho.
-
fantastic to say the least. the stadiums are all full. the fuckers cheer for all athletes and are real respectful any other time. the atmosphere oozes with electricity. really something special. everybody is excited if a honkey wins a gold. a lot of honor in it.

Well we need to stick together just as our rivals are doing.
UK and US will always have a special relationship - it is in our best interests to play the little brother role for the foreseeable future.

Mike Dusa, being the great patriot that you are, you would agree that using Old Glory as nothing more than a decoration is disrespectful, correct?

That is correct, EMN.
It is said it should not be worn, trod upon or adorned in any similar fashion save for being flown aloft.

I hate to break it to you, but China has been filling a lot of those stadiums with "volunteer fans".
http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/Volunteer-fans-fill-the-stands-in-Beijing?urn=oly,100302
As I watched the beach volleyball game last night I noticed that there were a group of fans dressed in yellow t-shirts that filled up the lower section of the stadium. Each person was armed with a pair of thudersticks and seemingly made noise after every point in the match. As Peter Foster of the Telegraph points out though, these "fans" were actually volunteers who have been brought in by the Beijing Olympic Committee to make the stands look more crowded.
After telling the public that every ticket had been sold for these Olympics, officials are now admitting that fans are not coming out to the events in the numbers that were expected.
"We are concerned about the fact we do not have full stadia," said Wang Wei, vice president of Bocog, "We think it is due to the weather, the humidity and then the rain, and on the first couple of days there were not many spectators who showed up"
Enter the yellow-clad seat fillers.
"If local venue managers find there are not enough people in the venue or too many empty seats they arrange for local volunteers as cheerleaders," said Mr Wang. "They are told to cheer for both teams to create a better atmosphere. If the ticket-holders turn up then they get up and go."
Isn't this the same strategy that Hollywood employs during an awards show?
When I see this group of volunteers sitting at various matches, I feel like I am looking at a bunch of teenagers who are on a field trip at summer camp. The Chinese are undoubtedly going to take a bit of a PR hit because of this story, especially after proclaiming the Games a "complete sellout," but I think they deserve at least some credit for attempting to infuse energy into otherwise marginally full venues.
You've got to remember that most of these matches, especially those with Americans, are taking place early in the morning in China, to accommodate American television viewers. I'm sure the athletes appreciate the support from the crowd ... no matter where they came from.
