Olympic Games

As you all know the 2008 Olympics will be held in China.
The lucky China number is 8.
That means that the Olympics will start on the 8th month, the 8th day, the 8th second and the 8th millisecond!
China has a very tough task ahead of them. Pollution in China is so bad that you can't even see the sky, they only have a couple of blue sky days. Last year there were about 7 blue sky days from what I can remember from watching the news. Between now and August they are trying to reduce the pollution in the sky by having 'no car' days. Cars with their number plates ending in a odd number cannot drive their cars on every odd number of the week and cars with their number plates ending in even numbers cannot drive their car every other day. China have trialled the 'no car' days last year.
But that has already taken the toll on some athletes as Haile Gebrselassie.
The Ethiopian Long Distance runner (who has broken 25 world records and won numerous amounts of Olympic Medals) is not participating due to the pollution.
He thinks it will destroy his health.
So do you think that China will reduce their pollution to a acceptable limit by the time the Olympics start?
Do you think the no car days are a good idea for China?
Post your opinions about this topic.
You can also have debates about this.
