BMX got in; hence, I wouldn't be surprised that skateboarding will be within next decade.
Sadly, wushu had it chance, but everything was against it from the start, i.e., politics, and no major sponsors.

2008 olympics theme music
by 12 girl bands and 5 lucky dolls or fu wa.
SPJ I need to ask clarification as I can not view the video from work;
do you mean 12 separate girl bands or do you mean the 12 girls band that performs pop-like tunes using traditional Chinese insturments?

I guess we'll all have to stick to our Big Macs and Starbucks at the Olympics.
Dog meat off the menu during Beijing Olympics
(07-11) 08:17 PDT BEIJING, China (AP)
Canine cuisine is being sent to the doghouse during next month's Beijing Olympic Games.
Dog meat has been struck from the menus of officially designated Olympic restaurants, and Beijing tourism officials are telling other outlets to discourage consumers from ordering dishes made from dogs, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Friday.
Waiters and waitresses should "patiently" suggest other options to diners who order dog, it said, quoting city tourism bureau Vice Director Xiong Yumei.
Dog, known in Chinese as "xiangrou," or "fragrant meat," is eaten by some Chinese for its purported health-giving qualities.
Beijing isn't the first Olympic host to slap a ban on the dish.
South Korea banned dog meat during the 1988 Seoul Olympics by invoking a law prohibiting the sale of "foods deemed unsightly." After the Olympics, the ban was not strictly enforced.
Dog meat is also eaten in some other Asian countries, including Vietnam, the Philippines and Laos.

This article actually just spawned a big debate at work over whether or not it's fair to ban dog meat during the olympics. I likened it to not walking around the house in your underwear when you have company over but others have considered it an unnecessary restriction on personal freedom. But it's by far not the most potentially contentious issue. What do people think of this, of banning half the cars off the road, temporarily shutting down polluting factories (rather than improving their environmental standards), etc.?

Fair warning,
before the crowds thinking about having a wild party.
there will be many police/security, para military police, anti terrorist police--
watching the whole town.
even local residents are encouraged not to move or travel into town during these "especial" times of games.
50% local cars are not allowed to drive, we may use public transportation such as buses and trams, --

as China "strives" to be a good host and welcome everyone.
not a party pooper
but games crowd would be good guests, too.
