Karen Cockburn of Stouffville took silver in the Women's Trampoline yesterday. Karen had previously won a Bronze in Sydney, and a Silver in Athens.
Also, Ian Millar, 61, and competing in his 9th Olympic games, finally won a medal, a Silver, in the Team Jumping equestrian event riding his horse "In Style". Too bad "Big Ben" isn't around, as they were a pair for a very long time.
Canada also has lots of potential contenders coming up, with finalists in several events over the next few days.
I finally got out to see the Great Wall yesterday (and am exhausted today). I will have a full post on this amazing trip later, but here's a photo of me and Canadian wrestler Ari Taub, of Calgary, who I met out on the wall.
Ari retired from wrestling in 1990 because of bone spurs in his neck, but found out 10 years later that it was a mis-diagnosis and started wrestling again.

Hey Sean,
Thanks for taking the time to keep us all posted on the games and the various sites. I really love the pictures and your commentary.
Are you keeping an eye on the track and field for us too?
I hope I have expanded your fan base as I have forwarded this link to my classmates who will be visiting China (Shanghai and perhaps Beijing) in Oct.
