    Didn't catch any of the badminton players in the China march-past :(
    It was all Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming!

    Yeah, but he is just such an icon for China. Even Liu Xiang can't beat him on that.

    I didn't just focus on Yao the entire time, no, I really appreciated the small kid next to him. Apparantly, that kid is from the earthquake district, and saved someone. Can you imagine, such a young boy saving someone. Not afraid, no! He deserves being down there next to Yao! *Although I'd be quite scared looking up to Yao if I were him :)*

    That's a valid suggestion.
    It's a lot of work... but, yes, it will be done ;)
