The Olympic Flame is the symbol of peace, not violence

The Olympic Flame is the symbol of peace, not violence

I’ve got the itinerary of the torch in Paris in February as the only media attended the last meeting between the French Olympic committee and the Chinese one, but I was told to keep it as the top secret.

Today I could see how serious it becomes now: the President of the “Journalists With No Borders” ( Reporters sans Frontiers ) spoke in front of everyone with menaced tune to the Mr. SERANDOUR, the President of the Comité national olympique et sportif français (CNOS) since 1993, that if he still refuse to let him accompany the Olympic torch with his famous handcuff T-shirt, things will get messy and Mr: SERANDOUR has to take the responsibility…….
“……………..it is already a symbol of democracy and human right today we let you express your opinion here in the press conference organised by the Olympic Committee and the Paris City Hall……I will not let you in the occasion of the French sportsmen handling the symbol of Olympic and the peace… my answer is no, and I am assuring my responsibility. …………….You are menacing of making a situation even yourself could not taking responsibilities, thus you are a man irresponsible….”
Of course, I doubt whether there will be any French media using these sentences as obviously, as soon as the RSF took the microphone, most of journalists were so excited, seem they were waiting only this!
I do respect the organisation and what they had done in the world to get the respect of the journalists, and protect very much the freedom of making reports, and even lots times, the safety of our journalists, I do admire their courage.

But today, I saw only a fanciful furious man threatening with violence towards the symbol universal of peace and union, and fair playing.

Not because I am a Chinese, but I will feel the same no matter which country it is.

In the capital of the country where came the creator of the modern Olympic Games, Human rights and freedom became the best weapon to take the peace and union, the sports people worldwide, the Chinese people who are all expecting this first chance to really open to the world as hostage.

Anyway, I do enjoy the interview with David Douillet who looks much less violent though he is much bigger:-))))

He told me that he did regret of never having any competition in China before, and he wants to give the message to all the sportsmen in the world: Live the most beautiful show!
