• Running a marathon in Beijing will be tough, as will other endurance events (e.g., cycling), but can you imagine the Olympic 10K Marathon Swim athletes who will have to swim about 2 hours in the humidity, smog and the very warm waters in the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park? These athletes have to take gel packs in their swim suits because there is only 1 "feeding station" along the course where their coaches can give them water or Gatorade to drink. In addition, the swimmers wear very tight compression suits made out of neoprene which will only serve to elevate their body temperatures to dangerous levels. Information on these athletes is at www.10Kswimmer.com. In reply to: "One month before the Olympics, the dirtiest air in China is in Beijing"
