2008 Olympics: Beijing

[Nurvingiel]

Hey, I noticed a post on men's hurdles, which reminded me of women's hurdles. I absolutely love Perdita Felicien, but unfortunately she's injured and not going to compete this time. Wise of her to recover properly. She has many great years of competition ahead of her.

I can still cheer for Ontarian hurdler Priscilla Lopes-Schliep.

Eärniel, if you guys win the women's 4x100m relay, don't you dare share it with Mari! The Netherlands have 12 medals.

We have more than a few athletes who are originally from other countries. For example, Jujie Luan the fencer, originally from China.

She had a pretty good run. I think it meant a lot to her to fence in front of her home country. She had a little red flag that said "Hello my home country" in Chinese characters, IIRC.

I just heard about that. I've watched less than five minutes of actual competition.
