The Beijing Olympics are in a lot of problems.Number one-China is a very populated place so the is a lot of pollution in the air.Some of the athletes don't want to go to China because they are scared that the pollution will damage they performance in the events.Secondly the Tibetan might mess up the Olympics by there protesting.They have already blew out the Olympic torch a few times.My speech is coming soon so toon in.
