I don`t understand why the Olympics need to be so big and expensive. Half the sports should be kicked off, beginning with all team sports (totally contrary to the original idea of the Olympiad) , and things that are actually skills not sports, such as archery. This is not a sport, it`s a skilled activity, like curling, it has nothing to do with athleticism, you can be a fat 60year old and do it. We need to cut down on these so-called sports, otherwise this will only get worse, and no one will want to host the Olympics anymore. It will come down to 10 cities that think they can afford it...

That wasn't the Whispy Olympic Spirit floating over Beijing. It was their freaking mess of a smog.

Is it normal UK slang to write things like "seven percent" as "seven per cent", or was this article riddled with grammar issues?

It's good to see that they are keeping to their new policies of less pollution. I honestly didn't expect it of China.
