I honestly believe that Konnie Huq should have pulled out of the procession when she was supposedly thinking about it during the week, I am ashamed of those so called sports heroes that took part in this fiasco. You seriously have to blind, deaf and considerably stupid to not realize what is going on in China and what they're human rights record say and how obvious this olympic torch relay is being used politically. These people seriously need to wake up and admit to themselves at least that a silly boat race or a tv program are nothing when compared to life. I sit and wonder what is happening to this world when people put sport in front of human rights and the lives of millions. The Olympic comittee should have never giving the 2008 olympic to China in the first place, they must have known it was never going to be a smooth ride the second Chins was given the 2008 olympics. A seriously concerned citizen.

PJ, you need to eat more roughage. Sport and politics are seperate issues. Athletes have been training half their lives for these Games. Why should they be criticised for something that doesn't involve them?
