Sep 8, 2008 - China won over 50 gold medals, but what they don't tell you is that most of the gold medals were won in sports that offer very little international competition. In other words, the chinese win in sports nobody watches or plays. Too bad they can't win in soccer, a sport most chinese watch and play.

Sep 8, 2008 - 1986celica: all of the games included in Olympic competition MUST meet the popularity criteria. So all of the medals that China won are meeting the popularity standards. "little" attenion in us only. and neither is usa "big" in football. Football in China will emerge as a powerhouse some day.

zeeyeezone Says:

Sep 8, 2008 - The Opening ceremony in the paralympics was also very very very good! Bravo China!!!!

ltlg Says:

Sep 14, 2008 - That is the most pathetic comment I have ever heard. Sounds pitty and spitful to me, not to mention disrespectful to all the Chinese athletes. By the way Gymnastic was the most watched sport in this Olympic and if you have to been watching, you should know which country won the most medals for this.

Sep 14, 2008 - 1986celica,better learn something before starting to talk. The sports most chinese watch and play is table tennis. The number should be at least 10 times than that of football.

Sep 15, 2008 - To freddigler, Indeed. Now if only those street protests and fun making session were successful in stopping their government from starting illegal wars, that kills innocent people in another country all in the name of money making and oil. LOL

ProudKoreanGuy Says:

Sep 15, 2008 - It was a desperate, propagandistic attempt by the communist China to be accepted by the West.

1986celica Says:

Sep 15, 2008 - why are the chinese so into gay sports, table tennis, badmington, ping pong.

sleepingdragon76 Says:

Sep 15, 2008 - @1986celica, Because Balco has yet to open up an office in China.

aznkid3122 Says:

27Gene Says:

Sep 16, 2008 - Of course not. There is no jail time, but they will delete the video and close your YouTube account.

xingfenzhen Says:

Sep 20, 2008 - Actually that's wrong. according to CCTV's ratings, it's women's volley ball. Since there is other strong teams in there besides China.

hui35 Says:
