This Guy Is So Dead

Chinese Olympian Zhang Liang showed up ready to compete in the third heat of the singles rowing event on Saturday. Problem was, he was scheduled to be in the second heat, which had already taken place. He was disqualified, which is probably cool with the Chinese government, considering how laid-back they've been about this whole Olympics thing.

Oh, so he cost his country TWO shots at a medal. Well, I know China can be a little harsh with its ignorance of human rights and maybe a bit too controlling with its Olympic image, but I'm sure Zhang is fine. As long as he slipped over the border under cover of darkness and has done nothing but put distance between himself and his former home country, which he will never see again if he wants to live. I love happy endings.
