 		Just sent this to Ariadne, to rule out my fencing spec:

Quote:
Have you ever had any inclinations or thoughts to try fencing? I only ask because the forms of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, and your remarkable affinity for them, seem useful to an "Olympic" sport (those doctors -- always creating colorful metaphors!) such as fencing...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fencing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fencing#Techniques_and_Tactics

Perhaps there's some fencing school around you could visit to see if they recognize you?


Will post reply, if any.

 		Ok, ive checked around, and Argentina did participate in the Olympics in 1920 in Belgium but didn`t win a medal until 1924, in Paris, France.
Now im doubting that Diego is Theseus or an aquatic sports athlete.
my head is gonna blow in any instant.

Right... Why it doesn't surprise me? Classic clichè about us... Apparently we Argentinians are only good for football/soccer....

Anyway, If "Diego" is a football player, maybe the others are athletes of their respective countries most popular sport... or at least, of the sport they excel at.


Yeah, it could be, but its not an old olympic sport such as 400 mts, or swimming, thats why I related Diego with two activities we are good at besides soccer, also the first argentinians who went to the olympics participated in rowing and another aquatic sports.
Maybe sports aren`t eve related to the game, who knows!


1920 was the first Olympics in wich there was an argentinean team, according to Wikipedia. Anyway, we don't know if the sports they practiced are relevant.

 		FWIW, Ariadne, if she is participating in this year's Olympics, could be in the Tai Chi exhibition being held before the official start of the games on August 2nd.

There are two celebrated caves in Okayama, Ikura-do Cave and Maki-do Cave (reference). Perhaps a line of inquiry would be to ask if she was found at either of those. (I'm not finding info on maze/labyrinths.)

Thats right, we dont know.
something interesting, the argentinian team traveled to Europe with a litle sailboat almost at the edge of sinkin they barely made it to France.
The team that traveled was specifically the rowing team

 		Jumping in w/ both feet here...
Ariadne has posted a second blog this morning here.

She is asking for translations of Noriko and Meihui's videos.
She is also unaware (evidently) that Larissa said Renata looked exactly like her.

Those who are already in contact with her might want to give her this info.

 		I've send to Marcus some pics of Germany:

Quote:
Hi Markus,

ich habe gehört, Du sucht nach Bildern von Deutschland.

Hier habe ich bei flickr einige Deutschland-Bilder upgeloadet.
Vielleicht hilft es Dir irgendwie:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/vladix/tags/germany/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/vladix/tags/hannover/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/vladix/tags/freudenberg/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/vladix/tags/urban/

Viele Grüße,


That were my fotos of Hannover, Frankfurt am Main and some other cities.

He answered:

Quote:

Vielen Dank für die Email - ich habe mir die Bilder angeschaut... Ich
erkenne überhaupt nichts darin. Ist schon blöd, ich hatte irgendwie
gedacht das ich dort vielleicht etwas erkennen würde.

Trotzdem vielen Dank für die Hilfe, ich hoffe Sie kønnen mir sonst
noch irgendwie helfen... Ich will unbedingt meine echte Identität
wieder finden.

Entschuldigung das es so lange gebraucht hat bis ich Ihnen zurück
schreibe - ich war beim Fluss rennen. Macht mir spass Smile

Alles Gute,

Markus


Short: he cannot recognize that cities and feels weird, because he cannot regognize anything Germany-alike. (Like his country feeling is gone.) He apologize for late reply - he was running along the river (he enjoys it). I.e. he has really strange "optimized" Olympic condition.

 		So Markus didn't recognize recent photos of the cities. If we want to extend the 1920 line of thinking, I wonder if he (and maybe others) would recognize photos of their respective areas from the 1920's.

So he's maybe an olympic runner. And Ariadne ... olympic martial arts? is there such a thing? She MUST have known Tai Chi ahead of time to get all 108 forms on the first try. But I don't think that there is such a thing as "Olympic Tai Chi".

Question
