...at the Water Cube

Two weeks ago, the Synchronized Swimming Qualifying Event "Good Luck Beijing" toward the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 was held at the National Acuatics Center, better known as the Water Cube. An amazing geometric structure made of soap-bubble-like walls stands holding within the pools where Swimming, Diving and Synchronized Swimming will be held during this year's Olympic Games. If the pictures show something awesome... just wait until you see there yourself :) I was very lucky to have the opportunity to Judge during this event and even if it was the Qualifying Event, there were over 8000 people in the audience, that was pretty much alike to what the Olympic Games will be. I climbed up to the 50th row to make this short video, needless to say, I was tired when I got up to the last row but the view was worth it :)


Hace dos semanas, el evento Clasificatorio "Good Luck Beijing" hacia los Juegos Olimpicos Pekin 2008 se celebro en el Centro Acuattico Nacional, mejor conocido como el Cubo de Agua. Una increible estructura geometrica hecha de paredes que parecen burbujas de jabon, guarda las piscinas donde veremos las competencias de Natacion, Clavados y Nado Sincronizado durante los Juegos Olimpicos. Si en las fotos el lugar se veia asombroso... pues hay que verlo por uno mismo :) fui muy afortunado al haber tenido la oportunidad de calificar durante este Evento y aunque fue solo el pre-olimpico, habia mas de 8000 personas en el publico, eso fue bastante aprecido a lo que va a ser durante los Juegos Olimpicos. Me subi hasta la fila 50 para hacer este video, no necesito decirlo pero estaba cansado cuando llegue hasta la ultima fila pero la vista vale la pena :)
