Pollution is key to the Olympic games

One of the first Olympic game took place in Beijing, China, with the marathon that involved various athletes from around the globe. Here some of the pictures of the unhealthy environment the runners had to go through.
The race took place in a hot, humid, and polluted environment, which is the state that China is in right now. Some athletes are concerned of the status of the air that can have a significant impact upon their health, and the result of the competition.

The gray sky that covered the location of the competition is pollution, not fog or bad weather.
