Tidbits on the coming Olympics

Just fun, satire, and some facts.

* I will be the coach of our basket ball team. The NBA champion is my team and the runner-up is my bench. For good competitors, I'll send out the first team in the first half and the bench in the second half and reverse for poor teams. No need for coaching except making sure they do not fool around with the British escort services on the night before the game and pay the service fees unlike Obama's 'body' guards.

* If there are only two spots in any sport, we select the one from competition and the other one from the best in this year. Hence we do not lose some one due to his or her flu.

* The current ranking of countries is all wrong by no. of golds or by no. of medals. It should be a scoring system such as 4 points for gold, 2 points for silver and one point for bronze (.25 for 4th place to encourage the mediocre).

* We should deduct half of the points for both Olympians and coaches  who just migrate to a new country within a year and those rich countries using expensive gears like the Speedo. Trying to be fair to poor countries. Olympics should not be a puppet for the rich, but sadly it turns out to be.

* The bronze should not be given to 3rd place finisher, but to the handicapped. If the average of the final in a swim event is 6', the 3rd place should be given to the fastest athlete below the average height. 

* We should have another ranks by medals by capita. In this case Jamaica and Ethiopia could score higher while China falls behind and India will not even on the map.

* We should select host countries with all the facilities built already so we do not waste money to create elephants. Athens is a good bitter lesson.

* Every year we should give a gold medal to the country who participates for the last ten Olympics and never wins a medal like playing the loser's bingo. The motto is: 'Every time you lose, you come back'  or 'Every time you come back, you lose'.

* We should have a medal race for how healthy is your average citizen. You can randomly select 100 shoppers in your local WalMart in your country and average the time for the group to run around the building.

* To the Chinese bashers, the Olympians will not not lose their strengths from the chemicals from their attires that are made in China.

Sorry for the US official who said about Ye with the word  'suspicious' and he was slapped on the face by someone unknown from US to break the record. He represented himself but not us. There is no evidence of her taking drugs. It has taken out the thunder of her legendary swim, and makes the American more ugly. We do have doping incidents. Guess what country? One is US and US had doping incidents before. The worst if many agreed with him and make us all ugly.

Every system has its advantages and disadvantages. US's training using private funds leads to many families in poverty as reported in this Olympics. For every successful US Olympian, there must be a few families losing their shirts or even some are at risk of being raped by their coaches.

Chinese are poorer and individuals cannot afford this kind of financial investment. They take more hardship and sacrifice as the average body size is smaller than the west. Working hard to achieve something is to be celebrated and not to be blamed.

Besides the badminton scandal, Chinese are more gracious with losing and even waved the British flag in the open ceremony. I do not put all the blame on the disgraced badminton players. The coaches are the ones to be blamed and the competition system too. I would be angry to see these crowns play.

* I sincerely hope other countries share some medals from US and China. I still remember how the first gold medal for Hong Kong lifted the spirit of more than 6 millions. US wants to be #1 and China never says they want to be #1. Different cultures?

The following two are the satires I wrote for the last Olympics and that was my first time I blogged. I bet you will have a good laugh. I was born in Hong Kong, so you know where the jokes came from.

I enjoyed the opening. It is less expensive but provides good entertaining - thanks to the British culture.
