    It doesn't matter where she is from, I just adire her for her fortitude in striving to excell in a sport that we as fans of the olympic sports think of weight lifting to be more for the male gender in Olympic compitition. I take my hat for this MOM!

    Chinese Government is whole bunch of jerks. As usual, they always find a way to put USA down to the world in order to make them look great. What a low attitute of who they are Chinese type blood. How dare they cutted off our American anthem when we're celebrating the gold medal awarding for Michale Phelps? If they did the opening so well with no errors then how can they made an error on just a recorded of our anthem? Obviously, this is about politic! What a low class government!
