Exactly one year from today, all of us on the show will be Beijing for the summer Olympics. It's China’s first time hosting the event, and my first time covering it.
To celebrate, we set up a swimming pool in the plaza this morning, which was somewhat of a "wash" because of the lousy weather. But it didn’t dampen the spirits of the American Olympic hopefuls who dropped by.
I was so excited to interview Paul Hamm—the gymnast who won the gold medal in 2004 in Athens —not just because he is such a great athlete, but because I wanted to tell him something.
It was August 2004. I had just arrived on Fire Island for a week’s vacation with my family when I got a phone call from the nurse who had been taking care of my mom, Elsie, back in Rhode Island. She told me my mother, who had been ailing for several months, had taken a turn for the worse and that I should come as soon as possible.
Needless to say, I took the next ferry out and was by my mom’s bedside that evening, along with my brothers. Despite the fact that my mother was in a lot of pain from cancer, there she was, propped up in bed watching the Olympics from Athens.
As long as I can remember, Elsie had never missed an Olympics. If she could have, she would have worn red, white, and blue every day of her life. Don’t get me wrong, she had plenty of complaints about politicians, but she was a true patriot. And no one smiled more than Elsie when an American was standing on the Olympic winner’s podium as they raised the American flag and played our national anthem.
One of her favorite events was gymnastics—maybe because she had always been so limber. She’s the one who taught me how to do a backbend when I was just a kid. We’d stand with our backs to the wall, raise up our arms, placing our palms on the wall behind us, and then we’d inch our way down.
Here she was, now 90 years old, and very frail. But as she watched the gymnasts, she seemed to perk up. It almost looked as if she wanted to give them a few pointers, not that they needed any. For the next few days, we kept the TV on in my mom’s room as she faded in and out. In the moments that she was awake, she knew exactly what was going on. She even made a joke at one point, saying, “Why so much volleyball?”
This morning I told Paul Hamm how grateful I was to the Olympic athletes for bringing such joy to my mom in her final days. I don’t know if I embarrassed him with my story, but I needed to share it with him.
My mom passed away on August 15th, 2004. Paul Hamm received his gold medal three days later. I guarantee Elsie was smiling.
Come to think of it, I’m not surprised she loved the Olympics so much. In my mind, she set the gold standard.

Bidding for the Olympic Games, in a way, an image-creating undertaking. The first and foremost thing is to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unipue image. What image does Beijing
intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity to host the 2008 Olympics?
It is known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games: New Beijing, Great Olympics. For me, the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors, yellow and red.
First, yellow is a meaningful color. The Yellow River is China's Mother River and the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. This color has a special origin and great significance for the Chinese people. Beijing is the capital of New China and previously the capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history. So, yellow will naturally add splendor to the 2008 Games.
Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red pageant.Red is another traditionally cherished color for the whole country. We adore red. On big occasions, we like to decorate our homes in red. It is the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity. Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe the future of Beijing . Beijing , together with the whole country, is becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernization. Should the 2008 Olympics be held in Beijing, the whole city will be a sea of red : the red torch,red flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of millions of joyful people.
Above all, the 2008 Olympics will be a green Olympics. Adding a green ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image, as we can't deny the fact that Beijing, at the moment, is not as green a city as what we like it to be. Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing. Big efforts have been made in pollution control, replanting and beautification of the city. According to a project entitled" The Green Olympic Action Plan", between 1998 and 2007, Beijing, we have invested 100 billion RMB in preserving and protecting the environment. Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the Fourth Ring Road. By then, the city's green area will make up 40% of its total. The city will also dredge its reservoirs used as a water supply to Beijing residents, controlling instrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.
Certainly, all of this is no easy task. But I am sure that all of us have confidence that we will realize these green goals. For now we have the full support and participation of the environmentally conscious citizens. Each
citizen is showing great concern for every one of the steps the city government takes. As the saying goes, United, we stand, and a green Beijing will be achieved.
When our aspiration becomes a reality, it will be a unique Olympics." New Beijing, Great Olympics"; will be weaved of these three superb colors: yellow, red and green.

the opportunity for partnership is here,now.
You are my adversary,
But you are not my enemy,
For you resistance gives me strength.
Your will gives me courage.
Your spirit ennobles me.
And though I aim to defeat you,
Should I succeed,
I will not humiliate youInstead,
I will honour you.For without you,
I am a lesser man.
—"Opponent", from Celebrate Humanity Image Campaign
机会就在眼前，惟志存高远者得之。
你是我的对手，
但你不是我的敌人，
由于你的竞争才激发了我的力量。
你的意志给我以勇气，
你的精神令我由衷钦佩，
我要尽力击败你，
但即使我胜利了，
也不会藐视你，
相反，我将以你为荣，
因为如果没有你，
我依然还是渺小的自己。
