Beijing Olympics Lip Syncing

Its publicity know that the little gal that was singing during the Olympics opening ceremony was not actually signing but lip syncing. Apparently the reason they changed the girl was because the original girl who sang the song, ‘Ode to the Motherland’ was not cute, slim and apparently had bad teeth.

Was she that bad? I dont think so! What are your thoughts?

Chong Wei Trips

It was a sad end to Malaysia’s hope of bagging the first Olympics gold medal when our men singles player Lee Chong Wei tripped on the final hurdle. Lee Chong Wei the world No 2 was brought down by the world No 1 21-12 , 21-8 with ease to bag the gold medal for China.

I was very disappointed with the game because frankly Chong Wei didnt show up. He was playing was playing way below par and gave his opponent a easy ride to the top of the winners steps.

I’m curious, why on earth is Chong Wei wearing a chain, multiple rings on his fingers and a watch?? He just lost RM 500,000 and our a a priceless gold medal. Singapore might win more than us this time around now!

Usain Bolt is the Worlds Fastest

I watched the Beijing 100m finals last night and witnessed the new worlds fastest man breaking the world record with ease!! The 21-year-old broke his own world record of 9.72 seconds to take the world record too 9.69 seconds. He could have easily gone below that if he had not started celebrating about 15 meters thumping his chest in delight!

Another Olympic Opener Fake

The music director for the Opening Ceremony at the Beijing Olympics has admitted that a young girl who delivered a key performance during the show, lip-synched her song.

Chen Qigang says the pigtailed nine-year-old girl, Lin Miaoke, was actually a stand-in for the real singer who was not considered attractive enough.

The real singer, Yang Peiyi, is seven, and has a chubby face and crooked teeth.

Chen says organizers made the decision at the request of a high-ranking Communist Party official, adding that they were thinking about doing what was best for the nation.

So much fake..but for ultimately for a superb show!

If i were a medal winner during th games, i’de check my medals!!

Olympic Fireworks Were FAKE!

I didnt get to watch the whole opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics but i managed to catch the fireworks which i thought was brilliant! Now this comes up, ->

The global television audience of more than three billion people watched in amazement as a series of giant footprints outlined in fireworks proceeded through the night sky from Tiananmen Square to the Bird’s Nest stadium — except they were watching a computer animation.

Even the giant television screens within the stadium itself broadcast the fake images.

Stunned viewers thought they were watching the string of fireworks filmed from above by a helicopter.

But in reality they were watching a 3D graphics sequence that took almost a year to produce.

It even included a “camera shake” to mimic the effect of filming from a helicopter.

The dupe was revealed by China’s Beijing Times. Speaking to the paper, the man responsible for the animation said he was pleased with the result.

“Seeing how it worked out, it was still a bit too bright compared to the actual fireworks,” Gao Xiaolong told the newspaper.

“But most of the audience thought it was filmed live — so that was mission accomplished.”

The designers even added some haziness to simulate the polluted Beijing skyline.

How about that!! This is taking the whole Olympics to a new level!

China Olympics

Its a Olympics year this year! This edition will be hosted by the fastest growing economy of the world, China!This installement is also set to be one of the most controversial Olympics ever with many requirements to host by the International Olympic Committee with the games nearing.

There have been so much drama with regards to the torch runs have not gone as smoothly as one would expect with resistance in many legs of the torch run. People have been loosing their homes in older neighborhoods as Tiananmen Square looms in the background. Old buildings and alleyways are torn down to make way for modern development in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, often forcing residents from their homes without compensation.

In the name of development and preparations there are lots of un-pleasant things that are happening. I hope that these issues are looked at as criteria in awarding games to a nation.

Having said that, speed clean-up’s normally leaves many holes in the system, Should countries be given the honor of hosting a world event like the Olympics if there is so much dirt that is still no cleaned up?

This is a series of stories building up to the games..Watch this space
