er... were there any protests in China? I had heard you had to apply for a protest, and that was basically the government's way of skimming info about future troublemakers, and that no protests were ever approved or even staged.
From a pure sports perspective, I'd say these were one of the better olympics in terms of that. From a perspective of trying to get China to progress on its human rights, I'd say epic fail on that part. Not that the IOC really seem to care about that...
