Had to go home to deal with some stuff, so I'm not actually in China right now. But I should be back closer to the end of the Games, when I hope to actually get to Beijing to get a feel for the vibe. Anyways, 8 predictions for the '08 Games:
- China wins the total medal count. Maybe the gold medal count too.
- Liu Xiang wins gold in the 110m hurdles. Barely.
- Events have to be moved due to the smog.
- Someone blames their losing on the smog.
- No (successful) terrorist attacks, but
- More and more coverage on Xinjiang and the Uighur separatist movement.
- At least one successful rally/disturbance/uprising by a foreign protest group that gets international coverage.
- Some scandal where China is accused of stealing medals by rigging the competition or tainting someone's blood test.
