I thought I read somewhere that the mens and womens 10k swims in Beijing will be held in the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park, but lost my source. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, does anyone have any thoughts about this type of venue? Can this be considered an open water swim or simply a long distance swim?
Thanks,

How many competitors in the Olympic 10K event? I thought I read the US is sending 2 men and 2 women to Spain but from there only 10 will swim in the Olympics event. Can anyone confirm?
If it is only 10, that seems like such a small number, perhaps totally driven by the chosen rowing venue. But couldn't there be heats, maybe 10 days or so before the final? Couldn't the course be divided in the middle by a cable instead of running next to the stands? So many possibilities. --mjm
