The Olympics in Beijing have three days off, I sometimes miss the benefits of press cards and privileges. It is like an umbrella journalist, goes on with his neck plastic press card, lucky journalists free access to the most important event and enjoy the cozy air-conditioned and comfortable transport. but I would think, for me the treatment of those with the , tired of running in between each track, chasing few words, with the other thousands of journalists flocked to Beijing to search for a hungry great news. think about these, then I will think of this week as sports fans to enjoy life, and my heart Also very comfortable.

Laura I do not good luck, at least she has a fan to cool the
Fuwa We often say that the way the Olympic athletes by blood, sweat and tears paved. And of an Olympic audience, this road also full of sweat; no matter where he went to watch the game.
no one can deny the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games is today one of the most spectacular live performances. But on Friday seems more should be known as the Bird's Nest pot. The stadium has a huge steel cross is the architectural masterpiece, TV aerial ideal goal, a good cocktail party topic, the general contractor for a big one; the same time, it is also a non-ventilated big stuffy furnace. We neither is the last rows of seats, not a hot seat in front, somewhere in between.
you can say I poor health, that my body is weak, that I was arrogant Californians. But sitting in the distance (to ensure the Chinese national flag to keep the swing speed of 85 miles per hour, and deliberately used) blower sweat less than 100 feet to watch the opening ceremony is definitely a unique kind of torture. not to mention sitting in my group the first two rows gung noise Dutch audience, they did not even sweating, but has a large beer in the leisurely; there and then the front row who do not know why the matter of Ms. restraint, in the spectacular opening ceremony of the wonderful performances, she Several times only occasionally aware of her inappropriate behavior. This is like four hours I spent in the water.
surprisingly, male toilet is the most comfortable place to nest. There is sufficient air-conditioning, but the audience stayed away from here would be advised. If the most important moment in the Olympic Games, so that the general audience the most comfortable place is the bathroom, then it is a little problem. Do not get me wrong. I did not leave or refund , and I still had the honor of a 90,000 audience witnessed one of the opening ceremony was excited and proud. But as I understand the current situation from the media, such a big problem but no one seems to mention.
Saturday morning we went to Chaoyang Park Beach Volleyball Center. We are in the Netherlands and Switzerland men's preliminary round to the middle. Most of the audience are Chinese, although they appear ready to cheer for both teams, but it seems everyone do not know how to cheer and when to cheer. Fortunately, the event organizers have foreseen this: dozens of volunteers stand ready audience, from time to time in the game space with signs of guide the audience cheer.

a reluctance to join the wave of the audience
example, in the few minutes we are seated, we the audience is sparse across the waves to lift people. I am and not very interested, because I hate the middle of the frequent physical activity rose to sit down. I only cheer for the wonderful performance, buy a drink or a hot dog or leave early to avoid traffic congestion in Los Angeles when to stand up.
is Obviously, hot and humid weather that morning affected the enthusiasm of the audience, and later, the person responsible for signs listless audience who saw the waves. He quickly grabbed the chance. Then, suddenly jumped out of the signs of five Olympic mascots Fuwa's image, there is a command: help. Fuwa on the display board stand waving his arms, seemed to be doing I do not like the wave action; this signal has been flashing, indicating a wave action a few servants; can say that I do not like.
serve as the athletes, blocking, spiking, display board operator constantly adjust the signal. almost every ball, the signal will change; wonderful, again, the wave was launched and more trip, finally arrived in time watching women's saber fencing hall gold and bronze medal match. highbrow sport, rules and more complex, so saber completely different games and beach volleyball.
two games are very exciting sword, especially for my novice. the United States Bekaa player. Ward (Becca Ward) battle for the bronze medal win over Russia's reversal of the situation. participate in the final two players are from the United States, making the audience interested in decline , in particular, had spared no effort in the Chinese audience cheer for the Russian player to help out. The most . Zagunis (Mariel Zagunis) won the gold medal in the U.S. national anthem, looking at her tears on the podium in the grand American flag on three sides The stadium rises.
sword is different from another point of beach volleyball, despite the huge signs prompted multiple times, but in that time before the final no one to lift the wave. spectators and news photographers too busy to see former U.S. president George HW Bush, and he missed the previous game looks, but at least in time for World War II medals. Although once was a politician, but he still unwilling to participate in some form of ;, as it may easily change the balance of power in the field of cheerleading.
