Summer Games

Canada’s team first travelled to the Olympic Summer Games in London in 1912.

A few anxious moments, this morning – my first in Beijing. Bolt awake at 5 am, I went to the window, looked out and saw a giant panda. Now, since I arrived in daylight yesterday, and looked out the same window several times, you’d think I might have noticed an anthropomorphized bear, two-storeys high (a relic of the 1990 Asian Games) but jet lag will do that sort of thing to you.
