half way through the journey

the women's weightlifting just now was exciting. the chinese competitor was trailing by 7.5 kg after the first round. but in clean and jerk she beat her opponent by 10 and clinched the 18th gold for china... hehe, yeah!

china's basketball teams had high expections. the men's aimed for top 8 and women's top 6. their fate are the same: eliminated in the qualifiers.... haix.

hopefully china can get about 25 golds this time round. that's the maximum i can count, hehe.

ham of usa got his gymnastic gold, but 3 refrees were suspended from their duty for him. the gold should not belong to him. it should have gone to the south koreans.

watched li jiawei's game. hehe. i think the north korean player got much stronger will power. though beaten 0-11 in one game, she never lost her confidence. king jong il rox.

later china still got one final event, men's foil in fencing. four years ago they lost narrowly by one point to france. this time round they are facing the world no. 1 italy...

mass media is quite misleading. Time and newsweek claims that china just emphasis on the more obscure sports to boost its olympic results. they cited examples of shooting, diving, even badminton and table tennis etc.... bleh. the americans are just frogs in the well. of course they only know track and swimming lah.. hehe. they alwasy think themselves as the world. sorry, u r wrong. that's why ur dream's team is getting so much trouble.
