Just 10 days till I am off to the Olympics. I will be seeing all of team USA's games as well as two of China's games. The first game of course is against the US and the other against Germany. China's qualification for the medal round could well hinge on this game. So it will be a great challenge for Yi to go up against Dirk. Hope he'll be up for that game.
