Beijing 2008

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

He's probably right. It'd be so controversial that they would suspend them for at least 5 games.

Isn't that after the Olympics itself?
IIRC, I happened to catch some past paralympics coverage when the Olympics was already over.

Yeah it is 2 weeks after the olympics but we get no coverage over here. ESPN doesnt mention it if someone sets 9 world records, no news show talks about it unelss its an "inspirational" story. It sucks. I'd love to watch all my friends who made it but in this country that aint gonna happen

precisely...imagine if he'd had kept his head down and run all out? :lol:

More power to the guy though, to go dominate the field like that: awesome
