A Few Pictures from the Olympics
We went to an Athletics event last night at the Olympics and sat in the second row. Here are a few pictures I snapped:
An American long jumper, Grace Upshaw.
The gold medalist in the long jump, Maurren Higa Maggi, from Brazil. (note six-pack abs)
The gold and bronze medal winners in the women’s 5000 meter run, Tirunesh Dibaba and Meseret Defar, both from Ethiopia.
The silver medalist in the men’s pole vault, Evgeny Lukyanenko, from Russia.
The gold medal winner in the decathalon, Bryan Clay, from America.
A star attraction, Usain Bolt, undressing. We sat in the perfect spot to watch the handoff to him in the 4 x 100 relay.
Bolt prepared to bolt.
Moments later, Jamaican gold medalists and new world record holders.
Headed home, the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube at night.

lionel: Thanks, I’m not into photography. I only have a ten-year old 2 megapixel Olympus camera, but it still takes OK pics. Here’s a nice collection of shots from the pros. :-)

That’s my man, Mr. Chairman alway being humble and polite. Bossman i’m gonna say just like my Polish buddy (who doesn’t know English that well) recently said to a girl on the job, “i please you can you move that merchendise off the floor :))))))))))) So just like him I please you come back to day trading and school us with those trades of yours :)
