UC Olympians blog
August 22, 2008 | 4:51 PMKevin Roderick
While we have focused here on UCLA's presence in China, the UC Olympians blog is following all 101 University of California participants in the Beijing Olympics. (They include Todd Rogers of UC Santa Barbara, who with Phil Dalhausser won the gold medal in beach volleyball.) Six campuses sent student athletes, coaches or alumni to the Games. They are competing for 25 countries. To follow their exploits, visit the very attractive blog. It has links to blogs by UC athletes, daily news roundups, photo galleries and NBC's Olympics video.
