Que gran fiesta que son los juegos Olímpicos. Que despliegue de tecnología en la inauguración.
Que ganas de estar por allá.
La fiesta olímpica ya empezó y los dueños de casa, hasta ahora, van liderando el medallero (Agosto 11 10:37 AM GMT -5) con 14 medallas, de las cuales 9 son de oro.
En cuanto a la delegación ecuatoriana, los resultados son promedio. Los judocas Miranda e Ibáñez y el tenista Lapentti perdieron en primera ronda. Los boxeadores Porozo y Góngora ganaron sus respectivas peleas y pasaron a la siguiente ronda. La pesista Alexandra Escobar, que era una de las que podía conseguir medalla, quedó en 5to lugar, mejorando su participación de Atenas 2004 en la que quedó 7ma. Por poquito lo logra, pero la china maldita que ganó de entrada levantó 130 kg. y terminó con 133kg. si no me equivoco. La china Chen Yanqing revalida el oro conseguido 4 años atrás.
Tengo esperanzas en Yamilé Bahamonde y en todos los de atletismo.

Olympics opening had fake fireworks footage for TV
Giant pyrotechnic footprints that marched across the sky in the countdown to the Bejing Olympics opening ceremony were faked for video coverage.
According to The Beijing Times what people inside the stadium and watching on television saw were computer graphics of the footprints inserted into coverage.
Gao Xiaolong, the head of the opening ceremony visual effects team, said it had taken almost a year to create the 55-second sequence.
Actual fireworks could be seen outside the stadium but it was logistically impossible to film them by helicopter, so the decision was made to recreate the effect digitally.
The last foot print was visible from inside the stadium and was captured on film.
Mr Gao said the animators had gone to the extent of getting weather information so as to recreate the night time smog conditions and camera shake was added to simulate filming from a helicopter.
“Seeing how it worked out, it was still a bit too bright compared to the actual fireworks,” he said.
“But most of the audience thought it was filmed live – so that was mission accomplished.”
