Aboard the flight from Toronto to Beijing were the Cuban men’s volleyball team, a Cuban television crew, the Canadian Olympic Committee, members of the International Federation of Soccer, a handful of Brazilian athletes and a team wearing jackets with “Italia” Basketball Olympic insignias. The colorful passenger list also included three amigos sporting a traditional Mexican flag as a cape and oversize Sombreros. Yes, the Olympics are finally here! Arriving in Beijing a few days before the Games, the Tiffin University Olympic Academic delegation was somewhat exhausted but still wide eyed in amazement at how graciously China has opened its arms to international visitors. A saturated Olympic marketing campaign revealed vibrant colors, sponsor logos, smiling volunteers and English interpretations throughout the massive airport and the bright city. But despite all the excitement, there is still a major concern — sold out tickets.
