Relive Beijing with Julia Mancuso
The Olympic torch has already begun its journey from Beijing to Vancouver for the highly anticipated start of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, now just 536 days away. For Julia Mancuso (Olympic Valley, CA) of the U.S. Women's Alpine Ski Team, Feb. 12, 2010 can't come fast enough.
The 2006 Olympic giant slalom champion from Torino got a preview of Olympic spirit, Summer Games style, experiencing the sights and sounds with NBC both in the stands and on the streets of Beijing.
"Beijing was a blast. It was incredible to experience all of the athletes stepping up to the challenge while the whole world is watching! Many records were broken, many hearts were broken, and being there I was able to experience them at a whole different level," said Mancuso who hosted daily segments for NBC throughout the Games. "I felt like I was a part of the Games, and at times, almost too involved for being just a spectator. All of the athletes have inspired me tremendously and I really look forward to my chance to take the world's stage in Vancouver!"
Highlights include training with beach volleyball gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, watching Michael Phelps win his first of eight gold medals, attempting to move wrestler Rulon Gardner and having her downhill speed suit made into cashmere and more.
