So here is the second part to the Fake Olympics. I left off with the openning ceremony problems. Now I shall go into the actual games. Im pretty sure that there's more stuff that happens behind the scenes...all I'm doing is commenting about the stuff that I read about. So here goes....
As many people will agree with me, the citizens of Asia have inherited this "fountain of youth" trait. No matter what age they may be, they still look fantastically young. Its amazing...if only they can take this trait, put it in a bottle, and sell it for at least three payments of $29.99; they would make millions..."Age-B-Gone" is what they should market it as. Anyway, so apparently three gymnast from China, not mentioning any names, is underage and should not be performing in the Olympics. Under Olympic regulations, female gymnasts must turn 16 years old during the year of competition. AND...yes AND...this isn't the first time they did this. At Sydney a Chinese gymnast who was listed as 16 when she won double bronzes at Sydney, later went on Chinese television and said she had been 14 when she competed. But let's not go into the 2004 Olympics shall we, because then I'll have to talk about the little leaguer who said he was 13/14 ( I cant remember), but he was actually something older (to me he looked like 23). Whatever happens and whatever verdict comes from this...all I know is that the Gold will loose its luster with these medal winners; and they can blame their country for allowing this to happen. Its a shame. It is outrageous and rodonculous!
Moving from China and to other countries...we come to Sweden. A Swedish wrestler was stripped and disqualified AND sent packing after showing what I can only say a terrible immature, un-athletic, and disgraceful act. Mr Swedish home-boy here was all pissed and through a huge hissy fit when a disputed penalty call decided his semifinal match. Whats' worse is that the person he was wrestling when the call was made eventually won the Gold...what a slap in the face huh. But that's not it tho...what he did after that was the shocking part. So in protest of this penalty call that endid his Olympian career for 2008, he took the bronze medal from around his neck and dropped it on the mat during the medal cermonly and walked out. AND...oh yes this gets better...AND...the IOC (International Olympic Committee), took away his medal for doping. Message to Mr Un-Cool Wreslter, if you're going to be all bad-ass and show your dispute and anger to the WHOLE world in protest of the judges' call during your match then fine...go ahead...more power to you. BUT then don't do it if you know you cheated in the event to begin with. This just proves that cheaters dont succeed. I mean come on dude, win the event fair and square. You sicken me!
There are more stories but I am pretty much done and over with this whole Olympics debacle. I mean, dont get me wrong, I absolutley adore the athletes who actually put in the time and train for four years to be work their asses off so that they could one day be called an Olympian Gold/Silver/Bronze medal winner, but when you read or hear about these scandels; it just becomes depressing. People do cheat, no one is perfect. I myself have cheated a couple times...im not going to lie. Where and at what have I cheated I will not say, but you can take my word bout this though...I have never ever cheated during an official sporting event.
This is probably my shortest blog ever. Please comment and share your feelings about these so called Olympics...which really should be called...Cheatalympics.
Pondering thought: If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead."?
