And speaking of swimminig..........the French Team laid down a little smack......"they came to smash the American Team"...............in Chinese we say never awake a sleeping tiger........it might just bite you! Well, as you might know the American relay team won an in...Read more
If you missed the Opening Ceremony........you missed a really awesome show.........2008 Guys doing Chen Taiji.........and Li Ning flying up to light the Cauldron.....2008 drummers......and a light show that was fantastic........ they did put the emphasis on the athletes........as they took forever to march in.............I got home after practice at UC......it was testing nite........only two students tested.......an all time low........but in time to see the start of Badminton, Boxing, and Fencing. The Games have begun. It was kind of f...Read more
All preparations are done, rehearsals complete the 2008 Olympic Games will begin soon. A thank you should go out to the people of China for doing a bang up job! Xie,xie! Regardless of the governments policies this event could not happen without the people......this without doubt was a great undertaking.....not without sacrifices. The air quality of course was related to industrial development in China but also the fact that it took longer than they thought it would......I was told that all construction was suppose to cease by Januar...Read more
Olympics is coming.......................they just finished up the second rehearsal for the Opening Ceremony..........everything is getting ready. Today though 3 Americans and a British Woman were arrested for trying to put up a Free Tibet Banner in the Chaoyang District.....................what were they thinking........this is China ......a communist country........where you are not allowed to protest without "proper" approval.......................goes to show that people still have not learned that the political tactics of...Read more
Four Days to the Games. Finally today IWUF made announcements about where, and when the Wushu Tournament will be held. It was announced that the Beijing Wushu tournament will be held on Aug 21-24 at he Olympics Sports Center Gymnasium in Beijing. Though at this time they don't have a place for the athletes to stay.....and of course currently they will not be part of the opening ceremonies......maybe closing??

Six Days to the Opening Ceremony for the Olympic Games, certainly an exciting time for any athlete.....and wannabes too!! Weather is cooperating in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Tianjin.......all official host cities for the Games....but it will be no picnic......temperatures will be in the upper 80's-90's and humidity probably over 60%-80%.........it will be like taking a sauna every day! the good thing is rain is also forecasted....which will cool things down and clean up the air.....when training in Beijing in the past ...Read more
Seven more days to the Olympics!! For those who have asked about Wushu most likely there will be no official coverage......you will probably have to watch HK TV, Korea,or Japan......to get a chance to see Wushu...........that's what happened during the Asian Games........those were the only Countries that reported the Wushu Tournament. That's a big boo.........and you can imagine what the American Press will do......nothing....what's Wushu?? Report on the weather was good today, as this was the first day that Beijing has had Blue...Read more
Eight days and counting to the Olympics!

InMat started out bright and early, as Glenn, Marvin ,Helen, and I left for San Jose at 8am. When we arrived the CPAA Facility was not ready for the Tournament to start....they were finishing up their aerobics class........which had seemingly over 100 students.........the place is well used as it houses classes of all kinds.............dance,music, calligraphy,and martial arts..........all being taught by professional artist from China. Turns out we did not have to worry too much as only about 50-60 competitors showed up for the event....p...Read more
Just finished a photo shoot with the Sf Chronicle.....they wanted to know how the Chinese Community feels about the Olympics............and my basic response was that the Chinese Community is quite proud of China, though we realize China still has a ways to go........but without the Olympics China would not be under the scrutiny of the world.........this is key to China changin, it's also important for the world to actually see how Chinese Society operates........and to find out how the people are............friendship thru sports is a p...Read more
