Now it says Geng is running August 7th, between 3:27pm and 4:19pm (Beijing time). The location has changed as well to some road in Beijing, it's really not important where because it's not the Great Wall. :| Does this mean I have to up in the middle of the night to watch him? The things I will do for you, bb. A fangirl's life, it is so hard!

Original poster says that the information was disclosed by the officials, so it shouldn't change. I hope that's true. HERE IS THE OFFICIAL SITE. This is fucking verified, okay, I am done!

I caught CCTV4 broadcasting the torch relay live last night (the morning of August 6th in Beijing) and saw JJ Lin! They broadcast the afternoon run live as well, but I was asleep. I guess (and hope) CCTV4 will continue to broadcast the relay live and hopefully some of us will have a chance to catch Geng on TV.

Additionally, there are 433 torchbearers for Beijing (which means Han Geng beat out all of them to win the top number of votes!) and everyone gets to run 50m. This takes about ten seconds, no lie. But I'm sure Chinese fans will have rips of Geng's 10 seconds of glory up on tudou within the day, if not hours. :)

ETA: LOL @ Chinese fans. They're so cute. They run around calling him "landlord" and "Beijing fried rice" and they're wailing about why it's being changed to the afternoon of the 7th when they have to work, instead of being on the 8th, when everyone had a holiday. Cute fans are cute.
