To bring different countries and races together all in one as a competitive games
YANGON, April 11 (Xinhua) -- China is certainly able to overcome difficulties and make the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games a success, U Ko Ko, CEO of Myanmar's Yangon Media Group said Friday.

In an interview with Xinhua, U Ko Ko said the disruption of the Olympic torch relay is masterminded by some people.

He said that it is an apparent plot to discredit China's image by using the Tibet issue to sabotage at a time when the Games are approaching.

They do not bear to see China developing and growing stronger, he noted.

The Olympic torch relay is a journey to spread the Olympic spirits and should win widespread supports, he added.

Meanwhile, some ethical Chinese residing in Myanmar also expressed their indignation to Xinhua after seeing the Olympic torch relay met with disruption and sabotage in some countries.

They said they resolutely oppose the trampling of the Olympic spirits and firmly support Chinese government's handling of the Tibet issue.

for people to see or watch to see how people do thing and why. and to so if you had a question like who is the best swimmer you can see on the olimpics.


The Olympics exist to try and bring the nations of the world together competing in sports in a peaceful way. The Berlin Olympics of 1936 did not prevent WWII from occurring (and Americans Jews were prohibited from attending). The Munich Massacre of September 1972, in which Israeli athletes were murdered by Palestine commandos, (with the help of East Germany), showed that the Olympics do need tight security as did the bombing of the Atlanta Olympics. For the most part, the Olympics have shown that the world can compete in sports in a peaceful way, but, the Olympics can not work miracles. If people hate one another outside of the Olympics, they are not going to love one another because of the Olympics. Security has been an important part of the Olympics since 1972 and will continue to remain. Wars are still going to take place in spite of the Olympic spirit.
