And are journalists really going to be digging around for human rights stories during the 2 weeks or will they be too busy covering the actual sports?
The BIG story would be if something happened during the events.
I'm waiting for the first FREE TIBET t-shirt worn on the podium.

The results are part and parcel of the Games; there will be those who go and cover the medal counts and the performances, and that's it.
You can bet your bottom dollar there will be journalists trying to tackle the big political issues as well; there is too much potential to stir the pot while all eyes are focused on a questionable regime. What's China going to do, start jailing well-known journalists? Like that will go over well. Sure, there will be a few that will get in trouble, but you can bet Amnesty International and other like-minded organizations are going to be stirring the pot.
