Olympic Teaching Materials?

Hi there, I'm just looking for some materials for teaching about Beijing Olympics, I've got a class plan to make but not sure what kind of materials I should use. I did a google search and found a few little things, mostly just the olympic website itself. But I found some translated stuff about beijing olympics here which is cool cause its got chinese characters in it too, its called http://www.lazyteach.com

does anyone know of some places to find some info about specific athletes?
