TSINGHUA-The campus held its breath today as Tsinghua University Shooting 2008 began.One street in the residential area has been closed and an unusually high campus security activity has been reported patrolling the area. However, athlete lodging arrangements have not interfered with everyday campus life much.
The Second World University Shooting Championship is being held in Beijing, China, with Tsinghua University as the main host for the athletes of the games.
The latest number of attending countries amount up to 30, among them Finland, which has lately caught extensive media attention for using illegal practices in school shooting.
However, after a careful study of evidence, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and International University Sports Federation (FISU) decided to drop all charges against the Finnish national university shooting team.The championships will take place in Beijing from 8th to to 11th October. We will monitor the situation live as the event unfolds.
Update 1 @ 17:53 GMT+2: Got in :D. Will go to the Olympic shooting hall (where the real competitions were held) in Beijing on Friday. I'll be shooting, too. Just not with a gun, but a camera! Yay.
