 The debatable surveys:

 1, Liu Xiang, again, Liu Xiang's withdrawl really made us crazy. Will his absence harm the overall quality of the track & field competitions? 

 In this survey, 46.87 percent said "Yes", and 46.28 percent said "No". 

And the comments are against each other as following:

Liu Xiang is a great man, and so are the other athletes, so Yes, enjoy the rest of the Olympics, even without Liu Xiang. Enjoy them all, they have all trained hard.

In Beijing, he only scored 4.4 on his last shot in the men's 50m rifle three positions final and handed the gold to the Chinese again.

Two surveys for him:

In the first survey, 35.29 percent chose "Nervous", 23.53 percent said Yes to "Accidental", and 23.53 percent support "Unlucky". In the survey of "Which of the following do you think is the most important for an athlete?", 38.29 percent chose "Gold medal", and 36.71 percent chose "Health".

 3, Millions of Chinese were expecting to watch the Olympic match between China's national women's volleyball team and its American counterpart. And finally the Chinese lost the game to Americans coached by Lang Ping, a former Chinese volleyball star. It has triggered some criticism of Lang for serving as the head coach for the Americans.

 What do the netizens think of china's coaches working for foreign teams, here comes another debatable survey:

In this survey, 35.35 percent of surveyed said yes to "There should be no borders in sport." and 28.54 percent said "I don't care. We also have foreign coaches". And comments added as well.

Of course it is fine that Chinese coaches work abroad as long as they remember where their roots are .It makes a nation proud to win all the medals in a field ,but it may saden the world.
