Two months before the Summer Olympics

Author:: Rocio
Date:: October 23, 2008

It just two months ago that the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing was ended but it seems that was long time ago when Michael Phelps became the most prominent athlete ever when he win 8 gold medals and breake 7 world records. During the days of this great sporting competition all the world was with their eyes set on Asia and the athletes, who go to the China capital to show their skills. And the same was four years ago in Athens and in 2000 in the Sydney Summer Olympics. But before the Beijing games the Olympic Committee was worried by the conflict between China and Tibet, but only a few protests were held.

Surely one of the ones competitions that Committee was more worried about was the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States, when a man placed a bomb in one of the scenarios from the Olympic Village and where a concert were giving. The bomb explodes and one man was dead and more than a hundred injured. The Committee reinforced security during the whole competition and no other violent incident were reported. But, above all, the Olympics were always a celebration; let us hope that in 2012 England the celebration remain that way.
