In this interesting article from the Guardian, they 'sneak a look' inside the 'looping, swooping, stunning stadium' that will play host to the Beijing Olympics later this year.
There has been much controversy surrounding the Olympics, from the alleged 'hushing' of UK athletes with regards to them talking about China's human rights history as well as China's history of human rights.
This architecture is truly awe-inspiring, it is crazy to think that in only a few months these huge designs situated in seemingly barren surroundings will be the focal point of the World.

My girl Kerri Strug pulled it out for the US team in Gymnastics in 1996! One of my favorite Olympic moments!
