"Olympic"... (Yes, I'm a real headache when it comes to spelling.)

I think the basic idea is great.

Personally, I love the olympics. It is a good way to promote peace and friendly competition.

I don't really like sports and sports don't really like me. That's why I tend not to care too much about the Olympics.

Though sometimes I watch the games with my dad, if he happens to be home. 3nodding

Too much politics hidden behind there. I personally do not like the politisation of that event. Anyways, as soon as there is money in a game it becomes dirty, so I refuse to watch the games...

You are right but I know there are also many people that really like sports and play them for fun so I just want to see if they are going to win or, at least, to play well biggrin

Maybe, but usually "just for fun"-athletes are not found in the olympic games. The american swimming team starts with one of those brandnew shark-skins, improving the hydrodynamics to a few percent and another female athlete got disqualified because she was so doped up that she was rated male after a test.

Also the president of the IOC stated himself, that they have been too naive deciding for Beijing. The games will not change anything as many people think. It's quite a romantisation to expect that the Olympic Fairy comes and changes anything. I can't simply look at a picture and highlight a beautiful detail without seeing the ugly s**t around.

Olympic Spirit, fairplay or anything like this seems pretty much dead, today there is more of a "how do I cheat without getting caught"-mentality hidden behind.

yes you're probabily right but people can also play for fun I hope!!!
ok sometimes there're people who cheat but it's also in normal life and we are not all like this...at least not me and not you.
So there should be other people like us. 3nodding
But I have to admit I don't really like this year olympic too much money, too much commercial and too much of all...so sad...
