WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE PARALLEL BARS AND OTHER GYMNASTICS PARAPHERNALIA?

THE OLYMPICS IS UNDERWAY AND THE GYMNASTICS ARE QUITE A DRAW INDEED, IN TERMS OF VIEWERSHIP.

BUT I DO WONDER IF THE PARALLEL BARS AND THE OTHER EQUIPMENT USED BY THE VARIOUS GYMNASTS ARE NOT UP TO OLYMPICS STANDARDS. THERE ARE JUST WAY TOO MANY GYMNASTS FALLING OFF THEIR ROUTINES OR LANDING BADLY AFTER AN ALMOST FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE. (THIS WAS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY -- THE 9TH AND 10TH OF AUGUST 2008.)

LET'S FACE IT -- ALTHOUGH CHINA HAS DONE AN INCOMPARABLE JOB IN ORGANISING THE BEIJING OLYMPICS, ON THE OTHER HAND CHINESE MANUFACTURERS, BUSINESSMEN, FARMERS ETC HAVE A HABIT OF PASSING OFF SUB-STANDARD PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN THE NAME OF PROFIT. COULD THE "TOOLS OF THE TRADE" THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO GYMNASTS BE OF SUB-STANDARD QUALITY?

THIS HAS TO BE IMMEDIATELY CHECKED AND CORRECTED. I THINK A REMATCH SHOULD BE ALLOWED THE GYMNASTS SO THAT THE TRUE STARS WILL SHINE AT WHAT THEY DO BEST.
