Beijing Bloopers

August 20, 2008

Swimming finished a few days ago, but I still have a week in China. I'm going to the Great Wall in a couple days, and I've been able to check out some other events. I got to watch the final of the Men's 100 meter dash. Usain Bolt's dominating 9.69 was the first world record Mark from flotrack ever saw in person. It was an amazing experience, but it just re-affirms my belief that it's a great time to be a swim fan.

Some of the swimmers are still around, but for the most part I'm going to be lucky to get any more swimming stuff. Here are some of the out-takes/bloopers from our adventures thus far, and some pics from that night at the track...
