Here you go Dee

a link to the schedule

http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/Schedule/index.shtml

Cycling (road) - starts tomorrow 8/9. Swimming - starts Sunday 8/10. Cycling (track) is 8/15. Triathlon isn't until 8/18 and 8/19. Um, and "track and field" isn't listed at all? Hm. I'm obviously missing something.

Don't count on cycling being on tomorrow. I heard the event got delayed because of the air quality.

that's been a real issue for the whole thing hasn't it?

Actually there was a really interesting article I was reading... a couple of former athletes who are commentating over there went for a run in the air a couple of  days in a row to see how it affected their normal training and whether it really is that terrible...

They seemed to think the heat more than the pollution would be a factor... felt that the pollution while not something you would want to live in was not that bad.

I dont remember it being bad when I was there years ago... but a different time of year i guess..  

agh!!  I can't even find an online listing

I hope he shaves.  I don't know about that stache.

It entertains me.  It's definitely grown on me.

Damn cyclists and their weighing less than me and being 6" taller.  Not fair. 

Eh... need shoulders and a back to swim 

yeah - I think it needs to go too.............

exactly!

I don't so much need the stomach.  

they're still parading on TV

Hey Dee!

Sweden's flag bearer was pretty cute.   

Oh I just figured out.... you guys have the opening ceremony on repeat or something now???

Thats more civilised.. I was up til 2am watching it last night! 

But basically with work the way it is you have nothign to worry about in at least the next month I suspect! 

Yes.  We're so far off China's time that they are doing weird things with time delaying lots of the stuff.  It makes it a little annoying to watch final events because they like to put them on at night to et more viewers.

But thats just me!

Im trying to remember what they did for Athens here... I THINK we got live coverage and delayed/rpt stuff during the day too so you could watch anything you missed...
