According to the Associated Press, there are going to be 500,000 security persons at the Games to match the number of foreign visitors expected. There are about 7-8 million tickets for the Olympics with 75% of tickets for sales in China and 25% for overseas sales - almost 2 million tickets for worldwide sales. I expect 5-10% attendance will come from US alone although I have heard reports that many athletes families cannot attend due to traveling costs. While there are many reports that tickets are selling out fast, many hotels in the area are still not at full capacity or even 75% for the Games. Many of the Chiinese must be attending.

Milorad (Mike) Čavić was a Serbian swimmer at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, whose parents moved to America a year before he was born in 1984 in Anaheim, California. He grew up in Irvine, California, attended the Univrersity of California at Berkely, and now lives in Islamorada, Florida. He is twice a gold-medalist at the European Championships.

In the Olympic butterfly event, he won the silver medal, with a hairbreadth 1/100th sec 2nd place to Michael Phelps, who decided to try an extra stroke instead of gliding to the wall.

Chad sent two athletes, Moumi Sebergue and Hinikissia Albertine Ndikert, to participate in the 2008 Games in Beijing. Both competed in the 100 meter dash and were eliminated in the first heat.

In the mens race France come second.
