2008 Olympics

The Chinese teams are great. I have noticed however that they don't seem to win any medals in sports that have a real score. They don't do well in swimming, racing, rowing, basketball, volleyball, kayaking, shooting, archery, soccer, or fencing. They do seem to be superior where the winner is picked through a subjective process of measurement involving judges. They excel only in those sports where judgment is a factor. Arguably the judges have a spotty history and have been known to be prejudice and biased. Even so its their venue and I suppose they paid for it so it all may work out in the end.
