Hey Everyone!Today was another full day at the NIS. Thunderstorms exploded overhead while we worked inside. I got to work early to watch the U.S. Women's team compete. Later, I interviewed some German athletes during the third subdivision. There wasn't anyone in the broadcast mixed zone that spoke English (NBC, BBC, CBC not working at the time) so I helped out in the press mixed zone. After work, Ashley and I stopped in one of the sponsor pavilions. The Omega pavilion - the official timekeepers of the Games - had a store devoted to showing the history of their time pieces and the intricate detail that it takes to make one of the watches. Much of their handiwork could only be seen with magnification. It was really interesting. I'm hoping to stop by the other pavilions tomorrow. The atmosphere on the Green has really changed. Throughout the sponsor pavilion corridor, there are live bands and dancers. Last night, a Japanese group was doing a traditional dance. Today, a Chinese group was trying to do a Spanish song. There's also CocaCola, Samsung and Adidas pavilions - just to name a few. I hope they give out some freebees! Tomorrow evening, we're going to the Today Show on the Green. Tune into the show Monday morning and maybe you'll see us if we can make it out there!
