Volume 39, Number 15

This week at Weekender

With the world’s eyes on the long anticipated, and at times controversial, 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the sight of those fit and healthy athletes can inspire even the most reluctant of us to get active. In our feature on pages 8-9, you’ll find a complete lowdown of activities and sports that you can participate in, from the fun (try hula-hooping in Yoyogi Park) to the conventional. On page 20, Ian de Stains looks forward to the 2016 Tokyo Olympic bid and on page 25, there’s an Olympics for kids to take part in this summer. It’s all about sporting inspiration!

Enjoy!
