I don't know that how many u read this article ... Our Girish Natu, BWF certified umpire, went to Beijing 2008 for officiating badminton matches ... He told his experiences while officiating matches to TOI reporter.

Chinese national coach Li Yongbo threated officials during the Olympics matches ... Also this same man is the chairman of the technical officials committee (TOC), Asia, this committee recommends umpires in future tournaments ...

Unfair Play!!!

I did not find a general Olympics or gymnastics thread, hence posting in this thread.
