Olympic Photos

The Today Show filming at the pool at Beijing Normal University.


Chicago Mayor Richard Daley speaking at a Chicago 2016 media reception.


Our two U.S. Embassy staff members, who have been loaned to us throughout the Games and work out of our office in the Main Press Center everyday. They transcribe the local papers for us to keep track of local coverage, attend press conferences to liaison with Chinese reporters, help translate and assist with anything else we need. They are very serious, soft-spoken, professional and hard working!


The Roger Federer press conference was packed.


I tried pigs feet! Very fatty.



Sadly, Venus and Serena Williams were duds. During our time in the green room they reminded me of child actors who are stars and end up socially awkward. James Blake was terrific - charismatic and well spoken.


The Water Cube and Bird's Nest on our first clear day in a week.


The Today Show set on the Olympic Green.


Taking a photo with a local girl who liked my blonde hair. Despite having never seen foreigners before, she spoke perfect English!
