In beijing 2008,China topped the gold medals tally(51) against usa(36), then the western and indian media commented that it is because of home advantage.Just prior to the start of london 2012, the same set of media predicted that since the chinese are on foreign soil,their gold medal tally will diminish by at least 40-50%, thereby projecting a figure of around 27-28 golds and the usa tally to go up to 43- 45 golds. Moreover china would slip to third place behind usa and russia(28-30 golds).
However after the first 3 days of london 2012, china is leading on foreign soil with 10 golds followed by usa with 7. I wish western media specially bbc and our dear indian media to stop such biased commenting and reporting. Pages were written on the rivalry between lochte and phelps but there was no mention of sun yang and ye shiwen who both won breaking olympic records and even a world record.Frankly speaking it all leaves a stink of jealousy.
But then how can anybody accept the mind-boggling success of a country governed by the 'outdated' communist philosophy?It is unthinkable.All the so-called 'democratic' and capitalistic countries should rally together to control the 'chinese communist beast'.Otherwise the world is in danger of being swallowed by the red dragon !!!

The french swimmer Agnel also beat Lochte in the last 50m of his race. How dare he? He must be on drugs. He too needs to be tested and quick....
