BEIJING -- First, Carol Huynh blew kisses to her family.

 They were easy to pick out among the crowd the China Agricultural University Gymnasium, what with the red-and-white hand-made "Go Carol" T-shirts they were all wearing.

 Then Huynh waved in every direction as she ascended the podium, her smile a permanent beam of white light. Then the tears came and they kept coming, but the smile never wavered.

 "Tears of happiness," Huynh explained.

 Finally, as O Canada was played, Huynh lost the battle to contain herself and was overcome with emotion.
