Our media does these little filler features on the great wall, strange foods in Beijing, etc.

Ugh. Such trivialities are one of the things I loathe most about mass media - they don't want to be "controversial".

Yes, the Great Wall is interesting. Yes, the cuisine is interesting. But in context...

That doesn't stop my awe at the beauty of a gymnasts routine or the spectacular performance of a diver.

Oh, I agree.. athletes are gorgeous. :)
