Just found it....
"Led by NBA star Yao Ming and Lin Hao, a primary school student from the quake-affected Sichuan province, the Chinese delegation paraded into the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games on Friday night.
The 9-year-old Lin walked ahead of the 1,099-member delegation, side by side with the 7-foot-6 basketballer, who carried the Chinese national flag.
Team China, which includes 639 athletes and has an average age of 24.4, will compete in all 28 sports.
Lin is a second-grader at the Yuzixi Primary School in Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County. Wenchuan was the epicenter of a devastating 8.0-magnitude earthquake on May 12 that killed over 69,000 people. "

came across a rather interesting olympic tie in or cross over while shopping. to directly quote autoweek: "Olympic-caliber athletes share our enthusiasm for high-performance machines, so each week, we're profiling the automotive passions of one the top contenders for glory and gold in this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing"
hot bodies and hot cars.

For the overall title, Torres beat out then-little-known female open-wheel racer Danica Patrick, who won the professional category.

I expected Jeremy Wariner's cars to be more pimped out.

Glad to see they didn't feature LeBron with his Bentley, Maybach and Mercedes.

The Great Britian team is magically delicious. I'll have to try & find a pic. I had the olympics on as I was cleaning the apt, and happened to pass by the TV and was like whoa!

These were inspirational articles. I would have loved to see Eddis make the team. Kids from East Cleveland typically don't stand the chance of finishing high school let alone college. And no one would ever expect an olympic-class swimmer to come out of East Cleveland.
