The TVs at the gym are nonstop-tuned to Olympic coverage, so even I, the least sports minded of people (saving FIFA soccer of course) am getting the latest as Canada remains blocked from the podium and Michael Phelps is posed to out-medal Mark Spitz. Watching the relay swimmers arc and knife through the water (I was lying on a mat reading Glamour magazine at the time) I wondered: What's it like to do something perfectly?
Outside the colossal venues, the CBC reporters tell us, the people are equally awed as they look up to the night skies. The smog reduction program has worked so well the moon and stars are visible for the first time in years.
