Rest of the results here News - Latest Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:08:22 +0100 http://olympicnewslondon.co.uk/joomla/index.php/Latest/North-Korea-and-South-Korea-refuse-to-enter-the-Opening-Ceremony-Together.html Korean peninsula seems to be heating up again after several South Korean workers expelled from the north-south friendly city of Kumgang prompting north and south korean officials refusing to let there teams march together at the 2008 Beijing Games. It was the straw that broke the camel's back after numerous "accidents" and suspicious murders of South Korean visitors in Kumgang this year. A bit of background on Korea though. Officially Pyongyang is the capital of Korea however the country divided in 1953 and splitting into two independent states. Seoul is the capital in the south. The cold war between the two states continues even today. South Korea however continues to aid and help the communist north despite its dummy spits and because of the latest tantrum they cannot seem to agree to walk into the Summer Games together as an attempt to reconcile like we saw in 2004. However there are over 320 Korean athletes entering the games. The majority from the south. BBC are running a couple of great articles found here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/7547147.stm) and here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7539368.stm) News - Latest Thu, 07 Aug 2008 21:17:40 +0100 http://olympicnewslondon.co.uk/joomla/index.php/Beijing-2008/Whos-taking-bets-Olympic-Gold-for-china.html Home town advantage is likely to return high profits for bookies when the games get underway. In this multi-connected world people are placing bets on outcomes of the Beijing games all across the globe. People are betting on the record amount of medals china is likely to win in addition to other outcomes like Liu Xiang winning the 110 meter hurdles. One prestigious university maths team predicting China to win up to 45 which would be a new record for our hosts. If we recall back to any of the Olympic games over the last 50 years one will see an outstanding trend particularly in the countries that are hosting. They seem to do very well.

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett are creating the title sequences for the channel's coverage of the Beijing Olympics and hopefully produce an official Team GB theme. "Monkey and the characters will travel across China to Beijing," Hewlett explained. "While they will use magical powers to fight off various monsters and demons, they'll also use all sorts of Olympic sports as well. So Monkey might use gymnastic powers, Pigsy will be hurdling and Sandy uses tae kwon do." I think we can agree this will be a light hearted production of which you can find out more here (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/may/29/news.gorillaz) News - London 2012 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:00:00 +0100
