Sportal has sent two of its most experienced journalists to Beijing to cover the biggest sporting event in the world in the nation with the biggest population.

In between reporting on all the latest from the venues, Angus Morgan and Murray Brust will do some sightseeing - if they can see through the haze - to give us an insight into how Beijing and its people are coping with the Olympics.

Stay tuned as Angus and Murray offer their own take on the Olympic experience and the local flavour, as well as catching as many Aussie fans in action as they can.
