BIRD'S NEST: THE BEST

BIRD’S NEST: THE BEST

Roger A. Davis

National Stadium, one of its two names
Home for track & field of the 2008 Beijing Games
Saw a show about the making of this venue
The most artistic stadium, I agree; would you?

National Aquatic Center: The Cube is its nickname
Home of Michael Phelps’ fame
Eight Golds earned, one for each race
Most World Records won in one place

Olympic Basketball Gymnasium in Beijing
Sand covered colored waves; a beautiful thing
One World, One Dream
Home of the USA Gold Redeem Team

China’s showcase, untold millions spent
A+ for the Olympics overall event
TV coverage showed the ancient and the new
My vote: in the future, an encore is due
