The Olympics

Ranked #58,339 in Sports & Recreation, #1,314,533 overall

I had a special interest in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 because my niece swam for Australia in the 4x100m and 4x200m Freestyle Relays. I write articles on her progress.

I hope you find the articles interesting. I will post some news here as they become available.
