The Games of the XXIX Olympiad begin this Friday, and there are many South Floridian athletes taking part in the competition. Did you know that badminton is an Olympic sport?
A shuttlecock kill is sure to be had in Beijing! Trampoline is another Olympic event as is Table Tennis. We refer to the latter as Ping Pong, but then again, it certainly wasn't an Olympic sport, especially the way I play.
Swimming will be one of the big events to watch because you have two major stories going on:
Michael Phelps, who'll take a run at Mark Spitz record seven gold medals; and Dara Torres who, at 41, will attempt to win the 50-meter race. It's her 5th Olympics, her first came before Phelps was born.
