There's plenty of athletes who object to the Chinese regime - but most want to compete in their events and just get on with it. Some athletes have even been banned from the games before they've arrived for saying something "wrong" ( here )
But what are the chances we'll see any political protests by athletes in Beijing? Will the sprinters open their tracksuit tops to reveal anti-China messages on their t-shirts? Maybe we'll see the cycling team wearing gags to symbolise the restriction of freedom of speech in China. Or the ultimate - athletes draping themselves in a Tibetan flag whilst on the winners podium receiveing gold?
So, do you think any political protests will happen?
