Chinese fake portions of Opening Cermonies

The sixteen year old gymnasts may look too young, but there are some fakes unfolding on the China front during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
It appears that portions of the Opening Ceremonies were faked.

Smog contributed to one of the fake productions.

The other was the beauty of the young person performing. You can't have an ugly duckling singing to the rest of the world, representing the face of China's youth. So, the Chinese officials pulled the seven year old out and put in an older replacement. The older nine year old lipped sync to the seven year's voice.

So, do you have a favorite Olympic sport to watch?

Much to the disagreement or surprise to my family, swimming is my favorite Olympic sport to watch.

It certainly has been an outstanding sport to follow so far during the 29th Olympic Games being held in Beijing, China this August 2008.

Most of my family selected women's gymnastics, which based on the ages of the youngsters from China and the USA, should be classed as girl's gymnastics. With many sixteen year old gymnasts going on twelve leading the team from China, the term "women" doesn't seem appropriate for the sport, as compared to, women's sand volleyball or many other Olympic sports, for that matter.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of swimming is the fact that both Olympic and world records are on the line each heat or event. We are certainly seeing many records fall, as I type tonight.
