Do you guys get the feeling that the judges aren't as impartial as they should be...I mean on certain occasions like the diving competition they gave Sooo many points to China but when the US came around they would always find something where they could take off points. Anyone else think so?

Duh.

I think the saddest thing about this year's Olympics is that the stands are almost always only 70% full on good days :-(

Yeah they are...but I guess we can thank Bush and his policies for the world hate we are receiving. Sad part is Olympics are supposed to be an avenue where politics aren't supposed to be included but....

There's still a whole bunch of teams they need to face. I'm personally looking forward to see them face Spain. ( I think it's the last game on their schedule)

On the balance beam, the US got a higher average than China did.

There is probably a little bias but there always is.

It's nothing new really, it's really interesting how the host nation at almost every sporting event seems to do much better thenthey did before.

The Olympics voting has always been politics, for almost all of its existence.

Google "bloc olympics judge" for background.

well I am not talking about the crowd...they have been instructed to cheer for every country..I am talking about the judges, those are the ppl who ultimately decide the winners and losers
