The Chinese way: When in doubt, fake it
Why sing when someone else can?
Why bother with the closing ceremony..? They can just replay the opening.."

World record in swimming

The news:

"Bernard, swimming in the first semi-final, clocked 47.20 to better the record of 47.24 Sullivan had set in the lead-off swim of Monday's 4x100m free relay.

Minutes later Sullivan sliced a further 0.15sec off Bernard's minutes-old record to reduce the world mark to an incredible 47.05 seconds."

The response:

Within 5 mins and 5 seconds, even before Bernard's achievement was officially recorded down, his record was broken by Sullivan! He would, however, still be given a certificate as a recognition.
