SPORT DOPINGWhen a 16 year old Chinese girl won a gold medal for swimming in the Olympics it should have been a time for mass celebration. But very quickly people started to raise questions about whether such an impressive performance would have been possible without cheating. It seems unfair, especially as there's no proof against the girl. But once again the debate about performance enhancing drugs has hit the headlines.MEDIA INTRUSIONA few weeks ago a 13 year old girl was killed in a quad bike accident. It was a horrible moment for her family that was made worse by the media coverage that followed. Helicopters flew overhead recording vision and reporters drove onto the property to get photos. Is it fair for them to be going to that length to get the story? Or do the family have the right to grieve in private?KOREAN GAMERSImagine a world where playing computer games is a national sport. That's what it's like in South Korea. The best gamers have become rich and famous and are treated like pop stars. But to get to this level of gaming takes a lot of time, effort and sacrifice.I AM ELEVENWhat's it like being eleven? One Melbourne filmmaker reckons it's about the best age that you can be. She's made a film that's all about being eleven. She's talked to kids all around the world and Sarah found out what some of them had to say.RACE WALKINGOne event you might see at the Olympics is race walking. Walking might sound like a really easy sport but there's a lot more to race walking than you might think. We meet an up-and-coming race walker and he takes us through the rules of the sport |
