Good news for Olympic athletes who have recently been (sort of) granted permission to blog (but not podcast) at the Olympic games by the IOC.
Any media-savvy athletes however, will be registering their own domain names in order to avoid a blanket ban. We notice that www.LiuXiang.com has already been snapped up.

Sometimes it only lasts a few hours because they're updating the sophisticated blocking algorithms, but it's also possible they want to show the world that bloggers are free to blog as they wish.
Never mind. It's blocked again - at least in Beijing.
