What Will Happen With the Olympics This Year?
Did you hear the latest news about the upcoming Olympics in China? There seems to be alot of controversy surrounding this world wide event. My son, who is an assistant sports editor for a newsroom, said there is much coming over the news wires right now about this.
They may be canceling much of the Olympic activities due to pollution. All the endurance events may be canceled. Events such as running, biking and any outdoor activity would be squashed. He's wondering how Josh is going to feel about this. My son was planning on being there for his friend and for the experience of attending such a tremendous event. Now, as a newsroom editor, he can go for the business end of it as well.
Maurice Green, the sprinter even retired in order not to go through with this upcoming Olympics due to the heavy pollution. Many are questioning what this will do to their careers and health. It must be pretty bad for all this hoopla to be happening.
China is making an incredible stadium to redeem themselves. At least six people have died in the building of this stadium. From first accounts there was some denial but now have admitted to at least six deaths. So this will certainly be an unfolding story in the coming months. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
