Canvas on Backboard.

arenasart.JPGAdidas' slogan is "Impossible is Nothing," which apparently seems to be the motto that anyone hoping to visit the shoe giant's new Olympic-themed art exhibit needs to use to find the place. The exhibit, titled "Sport in Art," is not an easy place to get to, and certainly, you wouldn't guess from the dinosaur statue outside the museum that inside, they're housing art by U.S. Olympians like Allyson Felix, Tyson Gay and Jeremy Wariner, along with a few other names you might recognize: Gilbert Arenas (pictured above), David Beckham, Lionel Messi and Ian Thorpe. The exhibit -- which started in Shanghai and has toured five cities in China this year -- is open here in Beijing until the end of the Games.

It's our duty here at the Rocky's Olympic blog to take you inside things (un)related to these Games. So enjoy an inside access tour of "Sport in Art." The address for how to get to the exhibit is after the slideshow. It's a bit easier to find it if you have it.

    Hi


    Would you ever buy an item off Ebay if the seller states :"No returns accepted", have you? If you don't receive it, under such circumstances, would Paypal not refund you?

    My advice: The signals names send are so limitless and contradictory that tracking down every possible variable is a fool's errand. Instead, try approaching it like nutrition. Amid the constant whirlwind of new dietary research, the standard common-sense guidelines still hold. Eat a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and you should be fine. Similarly, a spellable, pronounceable name that gets a positive reaction from the people you admire remains your safest naming bet.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers? I'd really appreciate it. does breast actives work http://breastactivesdigest.com/
