One Year Out

Posted by Jesse@Active Aug 8, 2007

Today, August 8th, begins the one-year countdown to the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing, China. Spending more money than any other host city ever, Beijing's venues are nearly ready for competition, with several staging test events in the next six months. To say that China is excited to show itself off to the world would be an understatement.

Fans of the Olympics should also be excited to learn that NBC will broadcast over 3,600 hours of coverage. The majority of it will be available via live streaming video online, a first for American viewers. This amount of coverage is more than the total of all previous Summer Games combined. Prime-time coverage will feature live swimming, gymnastics and beach volleyball.

hey cool to see that other Olympians are in the web 2.0 space.

I am training hard for the Windsurfing trials to go to the 2008 games
hopefully all will go well, it is a pretty cool venue over there except the air quality issue

too bad they can't clean up the water, air, and human right abuses before we get there.
