An Olympic article from you that's interesting, and mostly without the fact-free slurs with which you've padded out your previous efforts -- I like it.
Here's what I wrote elsewhere about the eventual (down to the last shot!) Indian victory in the shooting event you mention:
Shooting -- the most boring sport in the world -- was utterly transformed yesterday by an utterly amazing competition between a Finn, a Chinese, and an Indian. The Olympics literally doesn't get better than that. I watched it in a Beijing suburb with an air-conditioned McDonald's upper floor full of laobaixing (Chinese for "regular folk") sitting in front of their small sodas (the price of occupying a table), who reacted to the eventual Indian victory with the most incredibly generous and warm-hearted statements. I am a stone-hearted cynic, and I was moved to tears.
Cheers!
