I am in Beijing. Everything runs well.
Smog? How about a worked record and breaking a barrier in the 3000m
steeplechase for one and breaking another (Wang apart) in the women 10,000?
Intolerable heat? Much more pleasant than in Athens 2004.
So easy to seek faults. The fact is, so far every
The considerable publicity that has been given to the high smog levels
in Beijing has caused me to speculate on a world record holder who
would not have been able to compete in the Olympics if they had been
held there in 1968. If I'm wrong in the details, maybe someone will
offer correction.
