Olympics 2008: Will pollution cause ANY event to be cancelled?
No reports found.
Background:
Please take a look at these pictures taken just two weeks from the start of the Olympics.
http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-49940
Polution must be cited as the reason for the complete cancelation of one or more events. (If the event is cancelled because the atheletes state that they do not want top compete because of the polution, this will suffice for a 'Yes' settlement, regardless of what the IOC or Chinese Government reports.)
If one or more athletes walk out, but the event is completed, this will settle as 'No'.
This market suspends prior to the opening ceremony.
Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
