Gearoid Towey writes his first blog post
I am writing this on Friday, August 8th, the day heralded as the new beginning for China, the opening day of the Olympic Games 2008.

I watched the first day of the rowing this morning, what a day for the Kiwis! Seven of the New Zealand crews were on the water today and they brought home five first places and two seconds.
Simon Barnes who writes on sport and nature for the Times is one of my favourites. His pieces often look behind the obvious and trite and he frequently sees beauty and poetry in sport.
Heather is blogging on Row2K the US-based rowing website. She is in the Canadian Womens 8 at Beijing.
Update to yesterday’s post about Olympic Bloggers:
Adam Is blogging on CBC – he also missed the opening ceremony last night.
Drew put up two blog posts on Friday. Here is the link to Drew Ginn’s Blog
Fran is writing on the BBC blogs site . Seems missing the opening ceremony was the only option for the rowing crews!
Liveblogging the Heats on Day 1 of the Olympic Regatta.
Richard Chambers has written another installment from Beijing. Thanks to the Guardian.co.uk for hosting his blog.
