The face of the Beijing Olympics
After much balyhooing around the use of pollution-cutting face masks, the U.S. cyclist team walked off their airplane in Beijing donning the aforementioned masks.
The part I don’t understand is why it’s such an insult. It’s no secret that the air quality is bad. Lots of native Beijing residents wear masks every day. If I were competing for the title of best athlete in the world, you bet I’d wear one too.
