 		While searching for Parkour-Olympics info, I found out that "climbing" is supposedly an event in 2008, which sort of borders on Parkour.

In that board I found anti-UF mention. Does somebody know, what is UF (UrbanFreeflow), and why somebody is anti-UF? I ask because I found in Germany often recently graffiti "anti-UF" (I thought at the first moment about some unfiction-unfriendly persons, hehe)

I also thought about Parkour, but there is no link with a olympics sport except of artistic gymnastic. Maybe this is our lucie's sport.


Actually, I seem to recall reading that there was going to be a Parkour exhibition at this year's Olympics. Here's a little article about it.

Do we have to think that's there a link between the amnesiacs and the exhibition sports?

 		A chat with Lucie
in french
I should say up front that I don't speak any french and had to do all the translating with Google translator (which IS a better tool than BabelFish). So please excuse all of my very bad French - its Google's. And if it turns out Lucie's French is bad, then maybe she's using Google too.
Quote:

Me : Lucie - I hope that you are doing well
quiestlucie : gorilla!
bonjour, tu parles francais?
Me : haha - you may not know who you are, but you have a funny sense of humor
sadly, no - english
deutch
espanol
have you met the other people who have lost their memories yet?
Ariadne, diego, meiui, etc?
Sent at 9:51 AM on Wednesday
quiestlucie : j'essaye de comprendre dans le traducteur de google, tu parles espagnol tu dis?
I am not talked to the others now, i wll do that... what I say?
gorilla, peut etre en espagnol on peut mieux se comprendre c'est plus proche du francais
Me : si, yo habla un poco espanol
sorry
quiestlucie : aaaaah je comprend rien!
bon il faut que j'écrive a ariadne mais je ne sais pas quoi lui dire, ca me fait un peu peur toute cette histoire
tu la connais toi? elle est sympa? elle va pouvoir m'aider?
elle est ou d'abord?
Me : J'ai échangé des courriels avec elle, mais je ne sais pas son bien
Il ya parfois les mêmes choses sur vous.
quiestlucie : et elle est sympa?
je lui dit quoi moi?
Me : Elle se réveilla dans un labyrinthe, aveugles plié en jogging outfit
quiestlucie : hein, ariadne?
j'arrive pas a tout comprendre sur son blog...
moi aussi je me suis réveillée dans un labyrinthe...
Me : Désolé - oui, Ariadne. Se réveilla dans un labyrinthe - les yeux bandés dans un costume de jogging.
Diego (en Argentine) s'est réveillé dans un labyrinthe, les yeux bandés, dans un costume noir jogging

Noriko (au Japon) se réveilla dans une grotte, je crois - le port d'un costume noir athlétique
quiestlucie : oh
Me : Markus, qui est allemand, mais se réveilla en Angleterre - il était aussi vêtue de vêtements athlétiques. Ce sont tous des athlètes olympiques nous pensons.
quiestlucie : hein?
athlètes olympiques? quoi?
tu crois vraiment qu'on est des athlètes olympiques?
Me : All six of you seem to be strong and fast - like olympians

Ce n'est qu'une estimation, mais nous pensons que c'est un bon deviner.
quiestlucie : c'est complètement fou
Me : Oui, sa folie - très étrange
OK, vous êtes maintenant? Avez-vous un où dormir?
quiestlucie : c'est trop bysarre, faudrait que je parle a ces gens... mais je sais pas, c'est tro, ca me fait peur cette histoire
oui j'ai trouvé quelqun de sympa, elle m'héberge
Me : Vous devez absolument parler à ces gens. Il sera plus difficile de trouver la réponse, si vous n'avez pas partager votre histoire avec ces autres personnes.
quiestlucie : mais je ne sais pas quoi leur dire, moi... je sais pas ca me fait flipper, je sais pas si je dois leur dire que j'existe
peut etre vaut-il mieux que je reste inconnue pour voir ce qu'il se passe...
Me : Je suis heureux de l'entendre. J'ai lu que vous étiez belge. Comment savez-vous que vous venez de la Belgique au lieu de la France?
Je suis sûr que c'est effrayant d'être perdu et seul, sans identité. Mes amis et je tiens à vous aider. Pouvez-vous m'en dire plus sur tout ce que vous avez des rêves? Vous pensez que la ville de Paris est le rêve?
quiestlucie : attend tu me pose trop de questions d'un coup la...
je ne suis pas belge, qu'est-ce que tu dis?
qui a dit que j'étais belge, tu crois que je suis belge? pourquoi tu penses ca? peut etre que c'est vrai, pourquoi, tu connais quelqun qui me connais?
ca m'interesse ce que tu dis mais qu'est-ce qui te fais penser ca?
Me : J'ai vu un profil de vous quelque part, ce matin, que mentionné que vous étiez belge. Juste une minute
http://www.dailymotion.com/icilucie
Ce profil vous dit que vous êtes âgé de 21 ans et de la Belgique
Http://www.dailymotion.com/icilucie

J'ai vu que vous aimez le sport, sport et sport de plus. Lesquels sont vos préférés?
quiestlucie : mmh, l'age je met toujours une date au hazard parceque je ne sais pas...
je crois que je dois avoir entre 20 et 30 and il me semble... mais je dis ca au pif completement
et pour la belgique, c'est un peu compliqué, en fait ma copine a fait un truc sur mon internet pour pas qu'on voit ou je suis
mais je savais pas que c'était la belgique qu'elle avait mis, c'est pour ca que je ne comprennais pas ce que tu disais

Here is an English translation, courtesy of Google:
Quote:
Quiestlucie: I try to understand the translator google, you speak Spanish you say?
I am not talked to the others now, i wll do that ... What I say?
Gorilla, may be in Spanish can better understand is closer to the French
Me: if yo habla espanol un poco
Sorry
Quiestlucie: aaaaah I understand nothing!
Good must j'écrive a ariadne but I do not know what to tell him, it makes me a little scared this story
You know you? It is nice? She will be able to help me?
Or is it first?
Me: I exchanged e-mails with her, but I do not know her well
Sometimes the same things about you.
Quiestlucie: and it is nice?
I told him what me?
Me: She woke up in a maze, blind folded in jogging outfit
Quiestlucie: hein, ariadne?
How do I understand everything on his blog ...
I also I woke up in a maze ...
Me: Sorry - yes, Ariadne. Se woke up in a maze - blindfolded in a jogging suit.
Diego (Argentina) woke up in a maze blindfolded, in a black jogging suit

Noriko (Japan) woke up in a cave, I think - wearing a black suit Athletic
Quiestlucie Oh
Me: Markus, who is German, but woke up in England - he was also dressed in athletic clothing. They are all Olympic athletes we think.
Quiestlucie: huh?
Olympians? What?
You really believe that we are Olympians?
Me: All six of you seem to be strong and fast - like olympians

This is only an estimate, but we believe that this is a good guess.
Quiestlucie is absolutely crazy
Me: Yes, his madness - very strange
OK, you are now? Do you have a place to sleep?
Quiestlucie is too bysarre, should I speak to these people ... But I do not know, it's tro, it frightens me this story
I found someone so nice, she m'héberge
Me: You must talk to these people. It will be more difficult to find the answer, if you do not share your story with these other people.
Quiestlucie: but I do not know what to tell them, me ... I do not know ca me fait flipper, I do not know if I have to tell them that I exist
Peut etre is it better that I still unknown to see what happens ...
Me: I am pleased to hear it. I read that you were Belgian. How do you know that you come from Belgium instead of France?
I am sure that it is frightening to be lost and alone, without identity. My friends and I want to help you. Can you tell me more about what you have dreams? You think that the city of Paris is the dream?
Quiestlucie: awaits you ask myself too many questions at once ...
I am not Belgian, what are you saying?
Who said that I was Belgian, do you think that I am Belgian? Why you think that? May be that this is true, why, you know someone who know me?
Ca m'interesse what you say but what makes you think that?
Me: I saw a profile of you somewhere, this morning, that mentioned that you were Belgian. Just a minute
Http://www.dailymotion.com/icilucie
This profile tells you that you are 21 years old and Belgium
Http: / / www.dailymotion.com / icilucie

I saw that you like sports, sports and more sports. Which is your favorite?
Quiestlucie: mmh, age I always put a date hazard because I do not know ...
I think I must be between 20 and 30 and it seems to me ... But I say completely random ca
And the belgium is a bit complicated, in fact my girlfriend did something on my internet for not seen or I
But I knew that it was not the belgium that it had, for ca comprennais that I do not know what you are saying

If we are to follow this spec.

Different sources tell us that tai chi and parkour wil be some sort of exhibitional sport in Beijing. This Wikipedia page also tells about the sport Wushu. Can any of the other amnesiacs fit to this sport?

Not necessarily - perhaps we found people quicker than expected, and it is just referring to one of the amnesiac fellows.

Another possibility that has occurred to me is that we're meant to physically go out and "find him" - in other words, one of us needs to arrange to actually meet with someone. It seems a bit unlikely that there'd be someone near to those locations who speaks the right languages to make this a feasible option, but who knows?

 		 atlantis
I like it
I like the idea of Atlantis.

"Find the lost ring" - maybe refers to the five rings of the olympic symbol. Each ring referring to a continent. So maybe we need to find the lost continent - atlantis?

Atlantis was also around in the time of Greece - wasn't Plato the one who documented Atlantis?

Are these people from Atlantis? I can't believe they are - they all seem to be culturally comfortable with our modern lives.

But I like the Atlantis-angle

 		Some IM company is missing out on a HUGE fortune by not making a add on that supports mutli language translation... seems like between bablefish and google translator someone could make that work.

Lucie indicates that the church she woke up in is in Britagne.

I believe the church is actually "Basilique de Guingamp" in France.
For information and pictures see here:
