Beijing, China—Over thirteen-thousand people from all over the world packed the indoor stadium in Beijing to “watch” the Rhythmic Gymnastics final late Friday evening. It was estimated beforehand that outside of the participants taking part in the event, that somewhere between 30-35 people would show up for the event. However, early Friday morning Olympic officials started to notice that their 50 plus fold-out chairs were not going to hold as “family members” and “loved ones” showed up from regions across the globe to show their undying support for a sport that closely resembles that of children playing with sparklers.
One self-satisfied fan was Dave Nelson, 23, a senior at George Washington University who passed up tickets to see the USA Men’s Basketball team play Greece so that he would have this story to tell his friends back home.
“I’m so hilarious”, said Nelson who then pointed to his “Atari” T-shirt. “Check it. I own an X-box though” he explained.
Romania's Dominque Medved won gold, however the medal ceremony was interuppted when the event was declared over and people got up from their seats to leave.
