CONCERNS AND CONTROVERSIES OVER THE 2008 SUMMER OLYMPICS

1) Name one contreversy that happen during the Beijing Olympics which you feel strongly about and explain why you have chosen it.

Allegation of underage gymnasts. As a girl which is competing in the Summer Olymics, is only 14 years of age. Because of the age, it would be also called violating the minimum age requirements of Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). the governing body of sports. The women's gymnasts team members must not be 14 years of age or under. So, I feel strongly about the allegation of underage gymnasts.

2) If such a big event were to take place in your own country. would you, as an organiser, ever do something like that? Why or why not?

If I'm an organiser, I would not allow this things to happen as it would bring shame to my own country. Even if this happen to other country, I would also not going to allow this thing to happen. As an organiser, if this such thing happen to this big event, it would bring shame to the organiser. Not only these, people from other country would think little of this particular country. So, I would not let this such thing to happen.
