Beijing-My time here in Beijing has flown by; I cannot believe that I leave tomorrow. Just two weeks ago, I wondered if I would even make it on the plane. Now I am already in reflective mode.
My role here in Beijing has been to cover swimming for a Canadian swimming magazine, and as writer I received media accreditation through the Canadian Olympic Committee. However, two days before my flight, I got the call that Joey Cheek's visa had been withdrawn. I thought I would be next, especially after Kendra Zanotto, who was supposed to be in Beijing to work as a synchronized swimming reporter had had her visa denied as well. Fortunately, I was admitted, and I have been able to witness perhaps the greatest swimming competition in history and had the opportunity to once again celebrate the Olympic Games.
