No mas...........

Well, we finished the games last night. The early rising, late to bed, quick meals, sprinting to buses, learning how to shoot a sport in 1/500th of a second, sniffing our stinky photo vests marathon is over.
A lot of hard work, but a challenge that we enjoy.
And although we are a little sad the games have ended, we are glad they are done.

I had lots of cool little moments, on of my favorites had to be seeing my name in lights on the infield.
Well, not exactly my name, Scott Russell, our Javelin finalist.
But it was still nice to look at the score board and have an Olympic daydream!

So after the games are done, what do journalists do?
It involves Beer!
Seems our Chinese counterparts are a lot like us, including this crew that created their tribute to the Great Wall!

Wow!
