We thus bring you our August issue, devoted to the Olympics and their 2008 host country, China. Inside you’ll fi nd the terminus of Neil McGowan’s rail journey east: Aft er months aboard a train, he’s fi nally arrived in Beijing, and tells a bit about it (page 16). As Andy Potts notes, the year of the rat has been a good one for Russia, athletically speaking (page 20). So, for those gearing up to take in some sports on TV, Passport gives you a viewing guide of selected Olympic events (page 3) as well as a primer on Russian athletic achievements past and present. Meet J.R. Holden of the Russian national basketball team (page 22), some Russian medal contenders to watch (page 24), and Soviet gymnastics legend Larisa Latynina (page 28). Th en we look ahead to 2014, when Russia will next play Olympic host, with two articles on Sochi (Weekend Getaway on page 14 and Real Estate on page 32). While many Muscovites may be enjoying themselves out of town, those of us left here in August John Ortega can take some refuge in the metro — that is, in the conclusion of Ray Nayler’s eight-part series examining Moscow’s underground transport. Owner and Publisher Plus, have you ever wondered how Russians came to love tea, not to mention why they call it chai? Turn to page 30 to fi nd out. Along with our regular monthly fi xtures (columns on the arts, law, and Lipp Service along with wine and restaurant reviews), check out highlights of Olympics past in Last Word (page 48), Passport’s poll of most memorable Olympic moments. (And if that’s not suffi cient to sate your alliteration appetite then perhaps you should look at Larisa Latynina again.) Do you have a story you’d like to tell?
