It will take place this afternoon our time and you won t want to miss it. Tomorrow the competition begins in earnest. Well, there will be hockey, beach volleyball, traditional volleyball, shooting, handball, basketball, fencing, swimming, table tennis, gymnastics, water polo, boxing, badminton, weight lifting, judo, and cycling. The Australian women are heavily favoured in this event and nothing but a gold medal will satisfy the home country supporters. Last week, we looked at the Thai boxers.
Experts say they have the best chance of winning Olympic medals.
This week, I want to focus on some Olympic events where Thai athletes have only an outside chance of achieving a medal. Swimming Swimming is one of the glamour events of the Olympic Games. That means it is certain to receive a lot of attention. It begins tomorrow in Sydney s magnificent Aquatic Centre. More than half of it is devoted to swimming for the whole family.
