Sources in Beijing tell me:
absolutely GORGEOUS morning; should be great for vaulting
although surprisingly breezy



I also hear that for the press to get any kind of internet connection at the Stadium they had to pay $1000 :eek:

Samsu makes it

Badurova runs through (she must not be 100% if she is coming in this low)

(Badurova's run looks good, she just doesn't have the speed and power she did last year. Understandable considering she is just coming back from surgery)

Agirre has a big make.

Vandy misses
