Damo In Beijing
The weather is muggy but the smog is keeping the temp down :)He is sharing an apartment with the male shooters. He has a room to himself others have 2 to a room … benefits to being the only male member of a team!!
The gear is a skin tight fitting. They also are getting the new Adidas Boots
I Like the bit in the marketing - the boots have 'Bird's Nest' single layer ClimaCool® mesh developed specifically for the Beijing Olympic Games.
