Olympic Developments

Precisely one month out, and the excitement is starting to build. To be honest, though, I'm getting a bit sick of everybody interviewing swimmers and Jana Rawlinson. Anyway, here are some news bites:

1. The gymnastics podium in Beijing has been changed from vibrant red to blue. I personally didn't mind the red. The blue with all the concrete around just makes it all seem so cold, but understandably red is expected to be 'the' big leotard colour come August, so this change takes care of colour clashing.



2. Ashleigh Brennan has a blink-and-you-might-miss-it spot on a new Channel 7 promotion for the Games. Various athletes are smiling at the camera and moving in slow motion. Ashleigh is in a sleeveless training leotard chalking up her hands and, if the song is anything to go by, she's ready to flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.


3. P-Liddy has upped the ante from 'distraction tapes' and is now busting out a seizure-inducing light.
