As the Beijing summer games get closer, our fellow bloggers around the b5media network are starting to add their thoughts about the Olympic games and the athletes that will be participating. Here’s just a sampling of what they’ve been saying:

• At “Ladies Court,” Joe talks about the WNBA’s Becky Hammon’s decision to play for the Russian Olympic team.
• Matt at “The Chicago Traveler” talks about Chicago getting closer to hosting the 2016 games.
• “Ladies Court” also announces the Women’s Olympic Basketball Team
• Stephen at “Hoops Fantasy” shares that the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili will be ready to lead the Argentine Olympic team

And this is my favorite blog post this week from the blogosphere at large about the games: Mike at 08:08:08 posts about kites in Beijing shaped like the Olympic characters.
