Olympics 2008[edit]

I have removed the following from this article:

Organizers feared that nationalistic feelings might get the better of them and make them turn their guns on each other.[1] However, those fears turned out to be unfounded.

I find it very hard to believe that there were genuine fears of the competitors shooting each other. I cannot read Chinese and so am unablecheck the reference. A brief check of some major English-language sources (BBC, New York Times) doesn't mention this at all, so I think this should not be part of the article unless a reliable English source can be found.
