Beijing Olympics 2008

Indian shooters to blog during Olympics

Indian shooters Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and Abhinav Bindra will blog during the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games. They are part of the Lenovo blogging programme in which athletes will share their views and feelings before and during their athletic events.

The program is a historic shift in the Olympic movement as these are the first Olympic Games where athletes will blog during the competition time period itself. Until 2008, athletes were allowed to write blogs only until the opening day of the Olympic Games, and could then resume their blogs after the conclusion of the Games.

This year, new regulations from the International Olympic Committee enable athletes to write blogs about their experiences off the field of play during the actual 17 days of competition.
