Bad luck for Yamazaki
Yuki Yamazaki from Japan who competed in the 50-kilometer walk in Osaka was mistakenly led into the stadium by an official. He still had 2 kilometers to complete.
Unfortunately for for Yamazaki he was listed as “not finished” for the race. He was coming in ninth place at the time and a finish in the top eight would have seen him clinch a spot in the Beijing Olympics.
Stockmarket to continue to boom post-Olympics
China’s already over heated stock market is predicted to continue to grow once the Olympics has finished, according to the investment firm UBS.
“If history repeats itself, we would likely continue to see a positive stock market return for China in both 2008 and 2009,” Shan and Huang wrote.
