i don't think the meat standards are what they used to be, or perhaps something else. it'll be interesting to see how hard the us will push japan to accept tainted beef.

I do not think that she is worthy of carrying the national flag of Japan (still). Ususally this right is given to a champion, world medalist, record holder. There are many multiple medalists from previous Olympics, world champions etc in the Japanese team. They should have chosen somebody who deserved…
