The Opening Ceremony was truly a sight to behold!!!! The fireworks were truly amazing!!!! As with all of the Olympics, I worry about the safety of the teams and all those attending. Just read that a relative of the US Indoor Volleyball Coach was killed and another seriously injured by "a knife-wielding Chinese Man" at the Drum Tower which is a tourist site 5 miles from Stadium. The assailant then committed suicide by jumping from the tower. The victims were not wearing anything that would indicate they were from the US so this appears to be just another random act of violence that is such a part of our existence these days. My heart goes out to their families. Let's all remember them in our prayers.
