You can accomplish a lot when you don’t take an individual’s well-being into account. Some people look at Beijing & Shanghai and see dazzling buildings. I see hordes of migrant workers sleeping on site, working in dangerous conditions, and not getting paid. Who is their advocate?
The Olympics used to be something to believe in. Now they are an insult to sport and athleticism, as well as the international community.
Regardless of ages, clearly this was two different competitions going on. Young ladies versus children. Rather than remove the age criteria, I say remove this event entirely and let girls get back to their childhoods.
I think with world politics the way they are currently, this is not a time to hold nationalistic pissing contests. Or is it bread and circuses?
