No.2 Red girl among the Indian delegation.

During the opening ceremony, a red girl appeared among the Indian delegation. No one knew who she was. The Indian delegation said she was not Indian.

Well, it turned out that she was a volunteer. But no one can explain why she appeared among the Indian delegation.

No.4 London Olympic Organizing Committee should learn how to raise flag.

China's Sun Yang and South Korea's Park Tae-hwan both won the silver medal of Men's 200 meters Free Style. However, China's nationa flag was hung below South Korea's national flag.

Later, London Olympic Organizing Committee explained that the flagpole was a bit short.

No.5 Is it difficult to distinguish DPRK from South Korea?

The host introduced the women footballer of DPRK but put up South Korea's national flag next to her. The women's soccer team of DPRK protested and refused to play the game.

Maybe, the host realized their mistake. When South Korea's athelete defeated her Russian rival and won the gold medal in women's sabre competition, the host announced that the winner was from DPRK.

No.6 National Anthem.

Szilágyi Áron won the gold medal in Men's Sabre competition. Unfortunately, the national anthem of his country was out of tune when he stood at the platform. He even refused to believe that it was the national anthem of his country.

A girl from Lithuania won the gold medal of women's 100 meter breast stroke. At the awarding ceremony, the national anthem of Lithuania was broadcasted. Suddenly, it stopped. Really embarrassing!

Do they play pirate copies of national anthems?

No.7 Fragile bronze medal.

A Brazlian judo player won a bronze medal of judo. He loved his medal too much. He took it to bathe but it fell down and got broken. He pled to the IOC for a new bronze medal. The IOC finally agreed.

No.11 The Olympic torch at stadium is extinguished and put in somwhere else.

Considering that the Olympic torch might disturb the track-and-field competitions, the workers extinguishes the torch and put it in somewhere else.
