Love these end of the week reviews where we can see what articles we talked about this week and catch you up on articles you may have missed. We launched our Olympic series this week in an effort to let you, the readers, get to know the Olympic hopefuls and athletes before they head off to Beijing this summer. We kicked off our series with a look at the chosen cyclists and the swimmers.
Focus on the Olympics
This week’s Olympic series began with Focus on the Olympics: New Series which addressed the goals of our new series. Athletes we met this week include cyclists Sarah Hammer and Donny Robinson who will be representing the U.S. in Beijing. Swimming hopefuls Natalie Coughlin and Ben Wildman-Tobriner are both terrifically interesting people who will be trying out in June to make the final cut for Beijing.
The Olympic series is going to be a lot of fun as we spend time in June and July meeting the U.S. Olympic team that will be heading to Beijing. In August, you can expect some serious coverage of the Beijing Olympics, even if I have to get up at 2 in the morning to watch the events. Personally, I’m looking forward to it.
