From David Rotter, Scheck & Siress prosthetist:Track and field: I finally get an opportunity to go in to the national stadium, also known as the Bird’s Nest for its interesting architecture.
I have not ceased to be impressed by this incredible complex.
The national stadium is fantastic. Not a bad seat to be had in the house. We were able to watch long jump, shot put, discus, running events and wheel chair racing in the span of four hours.
What an incredible experience! The most moving of all was the blind runners running with their guides. It is just amazing to watch the two tethered together running down the track.
In the women’s 100-meter final, the Chinese competitor won and the stadium erupted in cheer.
During the medal ceremony, that competitor found her guide’s neck and put her Gold medal around him. There wasn’t a dry eye in the place.
It is now midday and they cleared the stadium for the evening events, which I can’t wait to get back to!
