Do you know who will be the first 3 countries in the world are the winners in this Olympic?

I saw that many western countries do not really believe of our Asians' capabilities. What do you think??

I believe Asians can be the formidable to other continents as well...

Yes I saw a show from TV having interview face to face with Liu-Xiang....The coach of the athlete said so.....

When Liu-Xiang obtained a first gold medal, many people and western medias did not really believe of what he achieved.

You must be talking about what the commentators usually say. When someone wins and especially if that athlete broke a world record, they usually exclaim, "Unbelievable!" or "Did you see that?" or "I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes." They are not literally saying that the person is incapable. They are usually expressions of surprise and sports commentators are notorious for exaggerated reporting. Typical standard of sports journalism.

Yeah...Different people have their own thinking and opinion.....some people say something bad towards the other or whatever....Overall, athletes are athletes...no matter how good or bad they perform, they are still human and we should thank them... ^_^
