[Lumpy2a]

Channel 7 is An Australian Free to air T.V channel and has shows such as Desperate House Wives, Brothers and Sisters and Dancing with the stars Australia. Channel 7 I thourght did an amazing job of covering the olympis on T.V BUT THERE WAS Absolutely NO INTERNET Coverage !!!!!!!

[bnjifar92]

i wish the Chinese Olympics were forever and never end up

[OscarLiu24]

dude, how many teams did EU sent? You cant total up individual team medals because you have WAY MORE participants than other nations are allowed to have. For example, how many basketball teams EU sent to the olympics? FIVE, and every other country can only send ONE.

[jamesrosevear]

Why didn't the USA participate at the 2008 Olympics?

[henrysinaga]

where did you get the fact, USA participated at the 2008 olympics

[cesarisaias95]

USA did participate.

[OscarLiu24]

uhh man.... did you have a vacation on Mars during 2008?

[letshaptic]

lmao, even someone in Mars would've know lol

[readerliz]

the olympic games are meaningless now.. just a ritual get together every 4 four years of world's nations large and small to 'compete' (pointlessly).. we all konw how high, fast, long further, etc a human being can compete .. who cares what country gets what or how many medals.. it's all now just a 4 yearly sport ritual.. nothign else..

quite meaningless really.. or it should be in one place and use the same venues agian..

[PeacockJade]

u're right!! let one place hold the Olympics every four years using the same venues, all participating countries should pay for the expenses, that's truely a great idea!!!! It saves lots of money. A portion of the earnt money should be donated to those hopeless 3rd world countries. Here comes the question: Which country should it be? I would say the neutral nation: Switzerland.

[OscarLiu24]

i think we are renewing records in almost every single event right now... so we don't know how high, fast, long, further, etc a human being can compete

[haydenisalegend]

great olympics ill remember them

[rocknsixties]

EUROPEAN UNION FIRST at Pekin's Olympic Games with more than 270 medals won !

Viva EUROPA !

[TritonSonOfPoseidon]

Agree!

EU rules!

[2MarDunJac2]

How can you say that, The EU wont even allow bendy fruit!

[LANNIE1994]

Im British and can safely say, the EU sucks :D

[omydel]

Most Spectacular event.

[pinoytuner94]

Athens 2004 was nothing compared to Beijing 2008. Athens showed how to get it embarrassingly and disgracefully wrong. Beijing has shown the world how to get it magnificently right. Congratulations Beijing!

[mmvangela]

um, juts beecause it has one race, doesn't mean anything.

plus, dont you know that chinese has over 1 BILLION people int here country, well duh, they'll get more then half the medals of the USA. They had like 1000+ members, the USA had 600.

The Chinese are very hard workers.

if the usa say they 15 they are acually 14 cus they add a year in china

[Harvarder]

China has almost double the gold metals that the US has. Also, remember the US population is composed of different ethnicities, and different race has different genetic adaptations (i.e., use black people for track & field); while China uses only one race (one people). I'm a natural-born US citizen myself, but what does that matter...

[Thugmunk]

Hey, only one race on the planet my brother. The human race. ;)

lol

[SendinK9]

Heyyyy Egg Rolls for everyone!!! and a coke.

[dakarateboi]

Yes! Communist China must do 1000 Olympic Games more for showing their respect to HUMAN RIGHT! Fake fireworks and fake infant singer are only the little cheats on Games. Those are just the beginning of the shows in Communist Chinese lands. Can we believe them, Commies in China???

[siuevan]

American is also good at making fake, such as fake report on the war agaist Iraq. you do remeber it???

[q1ax]

Your Retarded dakarateboi, you need to open your eyes and you will notice that american government is more commies than chinese government, lol fucking western faggots lol go to hell.

[xsweetredrosesx]

eh you think what ever you think but it won't stop from having china beating u.s.a! lol i felt like saying that. ok. i'm done.

[kmh1207]

China beating USA? You're kidding right?

[piratemermaid]

Yes for now, but there are still many games to compete.

[xsweetredrosesx]

nooopppeeeee. don't underestimate the power of asian ppl. we may be smaller than you white ppl but oh man oh man we can woop anybody's ass. haha i felt like saying that but no i'm not kidding. watch the olympic games for a change. it says so. its practically EVERYWHERE.

[kmh1207]

:o But, I'm not white!

Ok, so I may have underestimated certain countries, my bad.....

And I most certainly underestimated all those international judges that despise the USA.....

Oh, and I definitely underestimated the fact that around 73% of the non-U.S. athletes competing for other countries either train in the U.S. or have coaches from the U.S.

You can check those facts too.....

[fdsaffff]

yeah, like the u.s. have all those chinese coaches right?

[kmh1207]

You mean those 2 right? Women's volleyball and the shawn johnson's....

[fdsaffff]

right, chinese coaches.. and for that reason they got the medals

[godcake]

right on brother ;-)

[NIUEZHERO]

what? USA too pussy to handle the truth....

[kmh1207]

Yeah man, the thing they pulled with that little girl singing was pretty messed up.  That kid was adorable too.....

Haha, not to mention China's "16 year old" gymnastics team.....

[fdsaffff]

now, have a heart attack with all that hate.

[kmh1207]

Heart attack with hate? Lemme get this straight..... You want me to have a heart attack from stating facts that were actually said and noted during the broadcast? Thats a lot of people having heart attacks.....

[fdsaffff]

yeah worship your facts and have a heart attack with your hate.

[kmh1207]

I hate nobody, I merely love to pull for my country, is that illegal? If anyone has hate its you.....

Have a heart attack? Man, I'm glad my life isn't so dull that the only thing I spend my time doing is praying for heart attacks on random youtubers.....

[you3bee]

leave it alone and just go to hell, then you won't have any chance to get heart attack.

[ike74ph]

Of course the fireworks were fake. It was that obvious because it was too clean when it exploded so close to the "camera." The girl did suck.

Of course China doesn't have a monopoly of fakery. Remember Saddam's weapons of mass destruction?

[hullo222]

this lip synced too?

[michaelzv8]

one world one dreams

[tenzin0153]

hey you didn't complete the whole line.... its actually: One World, One Dream, Free Tibet

[haydenisalegend]
