Because they don't have the choice, especially in a "Japanese" company.

hehe... aren't we rubbing in a bit...
I first supported the ban because I thought the proposal had the support of the world. Looks like only rich nation supported the proposal.

"The Olympics these days are all money. The teams that spend the most on training, facilities etc., win more. The athletes who win more get cash rewards. "- Very true.
Imagine if the chinese government starts taking the Winter Olympics seriously, they will take over the standings. That's just my opinion.

i thought they did fairly ok. Don't think the people were that disappointed as the Japanese media might have made it out to be. I thought the media failed to focus on the right atheletes. There were so much attention toward the mogul uemura, figure stating(ando, asao), and the 15yr old skater. I was like the most of the Japanese who were expecting them to medal, but came out disappointed. When Japan won a silver and bronze in men's 1000m(?) speedstaking, most of the people in Japan didn't know who they were. At least it was better than the One gold medal(figure skating) they won in 2006. Or is it?

I just watched one of their interviews. They are brother and sister. I don't think they were raised in Japan. And I wish them well, too!!

i don't know which event. But if there is a event where only 3 countries always medal, it should be dropped. EXample. Women's Soft Ball.

Don't think Pluschenko was "robbed." there were a few noticeable mistakes and still Pluschenko scored that high. Imagine if he tried a little harder, he could have easily won it. anyways "robbed" is the wrong word to use.

Don't think Japan's coverage is centric compare to other countries. Japan Team is competing in all events. Only around five have a chance to medal and it's quite obvious the five would get a lot more coverage.(Unless an underdog Japanese wins a medal and he/she will get lots of coverage) US team has a lot more than Japan team that are capable of medaling. Obviously the coverage approach would be different. It's all about getting tv ratings. If the TV companies think showing more news about atheletes around the world more would get better ratings, they would have. Now I don't think it's fair to complain about what the Japanese want to watch in the Olypmics. If they want to watch more of there own althetes are doing, that's fine with me. If they want to watch Ian Thorpe type atheletes more than Japanese atheletes, that's fine with me.
