Top Ten Moments of Beijing


The 2008 Beijing Olympics were full of unforgettable moments. There were some low points of course, like that random stabbing, but other than that, the games operated as smoothly as a state-run economy. Because the writers behind The Linesman are the most incredible journalists on the internet, we decided to compile a list of these moments. Behold, here is a list. Replace your memories of the 2008 Olympics with it.
