a chinese aquarium is staging an underwater olympics to mark chinese new year. the event, at underwater world in qingdao city, will feature sports including fencing, shooting, cycling and gymnastics, reports qingdao morning post. all of the competitors will all be qualified divers and the sports have been adapted to take account of the 'conditions'. for the fencing contest, participants will fight while blanced on a steel cable with the one falling off first being declared the loser. and for the shooting, competitors will use specially made harpoon-style guns to pop balloons fastened to a board. organisers say some events - such as gymnastics - will be easier underwater because athletes' bodies will feel lighter.

copenhagen: rio de janeiro was chosen as the host city for the 2016 olympic games after an international olympic committee vote in copenhagen on friday. the brazilian city beat madrid for the right to host the summer games after chicago and tokyo were eliminated in earlier rounds. the result was announced in a presentation due to start at 1630 gmt. rio de janeiro and madrid go through to a final round of voting, after chicago were eliminated in the first round. tokyo were eliminated after the second round of voting for the 2016 olympics host city. it was a stunning defeat for chicago, which was expected to be one of the two finalists. not even the presence of president barack obama and first lady michelle obama — nor a long list of celebrities — was enough to help the united states' third-largest city. chicago had seemed to pick up momentum in the last few days, with many international olympic committee members seemingly charmed by mrs. obama. but when ioc president jacques rogge announced the results of the first vote, chicago's name was announced. hoping to persuade the ioc to award chicago the 2016 olympics, obama and his wife led a heartfelt and, at times, very personal plea friday. source 1) the world is ending in 2012 anyway. 2) 75% of chicago didn't want this drama to begin with. thank. gawd

footsteps, fireworks, and apsarases lifting the five rings. a very impressive and surprising moment.
from nbc. confucian scholars chanting his words while moving blocks presenting chinese characters, the great wall and flowers. i have to say the narrators are so much better than the chinese ones....
a video demonstrating the making of an ancient chinese painting leads to this astonishingly beautiful performance: dancers literally draw a picture on the giant scroll. the narration is in chinese but they didn't do much anyway.
2008 tai-chi performers form a perfect circle. the whole scene totally blew me away. must be even more powerful to see it present. ---------------------- since my internet connection sucks big time i probably wouldn't be able to upload the 5th and the 7th act to spiked. you can see the whole nbc version of the opening here: http://www.lakersmedia.com/?p=211 ~ http://www.lakersmedia.com/?p=217 (divided into 7 acts)
