A casual discussion featuring:
- Stanford athletes who competed in the Olympics
- Head basketball Johnny Dawkins
- Sports columnist for the SF Chronicle Janny Hu
- Long-term residents of Beijing, sharing their views of the city, before and after
***Dinner will be served!***
Come find out about what spectators at home didn't see:
- Life in the athlete's village
- Doping and drug testing
- The real story about Beijing's pollution
- Navigating the everyday minefield of politics (i.e. free speech in an authoritarian country)
- How did ordinary citizens contribute to making the Games a success? Which neighborhoods were bulldozed for Olympic projects?
