The 2008 Olympics Ups And Downs
The 2008 Olympics was both filled with success and scandals. This years Olympics gave 43 world records and 132 Olympic records. Among all these records there were two people who stand out. They were Michael Phelps and Usian Bolt. Michael Phelps won eight medals and all gold. Usian Bolt won three medals and also all gold. Along all this extraordinary achievements there were scandals. If we start with Sweden there was the wrestling scandal. Ara Abrahamian the Swedish wrestler was unfairly treated during the semifinal against Andrea Minguzzi. The judge gave Andrea point because he thought Ara was crawling away from the wrestling mat. But after looking at the videos of this match it was proven that the judge was wrong but they wouldn’t change their minds about their decision. Over to taekwondo we have the Cuban fighter “Angel Valodia” who lost his control and gave the judge a kick towards the face. It hit the judge on the lip. The judge was Swedish.
