Someone told me that all the Aussie track competitors pulled out because they can't breath? Also no-one should be going while they invade Tibet. Wars have been initiated over less than that.

1. Ticketing will be a debacle

2. China will win the medal count

3. There will be the usual smattering of positive drug results

4. Several athletes will be overcome by smog and humidity - high DNF rate for the marathon

5. Terrorism will continue to raise its head

6. The USA will win several high profile gold medals only to have them revoked in 8 years time due to drug results after they have collected several million dollars in endorsements and no one will remember who came second or more importantly, who was knocked out in the heats and should have made the finals

7. Bruce will say "Special"

8. IOC will say "Walking and Synchronised Swimming will remain in the Olympics forever"

9. China to lose the ping pong *jks

10. Australia FTW!!!!

Only 1 certainty:

There will be no Judo shown on Australian TV!! Despite the fact that we have a full team of 14 athletes going to the games and 2-3 legitimate medal chances!!

- only chance might be SBS for about 30 seconds around 2am on a Monday morning... but it would be a "gag" section ..

Thats true but go back in time do some research and you will find out what Australia was doing during the Melbourne Olympic games. Ill leave it upto you kids to do the research.

I was in China in late June, all i have to say is thank the GODS that the games are not in Shanghai, the air quality there was well look 4 yourselves.
Point being, dont always take what you hear as truths.
