: Although a quake was reported on August 21st, this appeared to be directly on the border of Myanmar/China
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2008vzbb.php#details
Other news sources have the quake as a 5.9 "IN" China, while the question's background states that a quake must be at least a "6.0 in China"

A 5.9-magnitude earthquake jolted southern China near the border with Myanmar yesterday, killing a woman - one day after another quake damaged homes in the same area, state news media reported. Tens of thousands of people spent the night in a square and on playgrounds after the quake, which destroyed many houses in Yinjiang county, where the quake was centered.

will any athlete fall down (running, gymnastics ... ouch, other) because of a tremor.
I know we've already heard about the tremor, but it happened "hours after the torch stop". I think there is some bad Feng Shui going on somewhere.
