holy crap guys... if I had a dollar for everytime I heard someone whine about favoritism during the Olympics... I'd be so rich, I'd BUY China. Anyway, since when haven't people whined with favoritism? It's in every sports competition World-wise or nation-wise.
I'm just laughing everytime I read some whiney ass column about "China is getting bias results here.." or "China is the favorite here.." blah blah blah. WHINE WHINE WHIIINE.

I mean, look at the diving contests! XD When Russia was going up against China, every single score the Russians gave the Chinese was so far below everyone elses it was hilarious. XD That happens in every event with different countries!

All I can say, is kudos to China. They've been trying to be recognized by the world for a long time and they're struggling to show they're on equal grounds. (I'm talking about the Chinese people now, I'm not touching the government with a ten-foot pole.) It's good that they'll get some recognition, I just hope the pansey World can get over their whine-fest.

(I'm a Chinese major, I'm used to this stuff. ^_~ )
