Hi everyone! Did you see the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics? It was wonderful! The drummers were very synchronized, making it look as though they were one thing, instead of just being individual. It was also very interesting to see the people dancing and painting on the very big "scroll".
The fireworks that were "walking" towards the stadium was quite unique too!(although it was computer generated, as I found out later.) The man that lighted the Olympic torch "flew" on the walls before lighting the big torch.
Which athlete will you be supporting? I'll be supporting Micheal Phelps, the swimmer, who will be trying to get all 8 gold medals in all the swimming events. He almost got a silver medal in the 4 x 100m swimming event. Luckily for him, Jason Lezak, the last swimmer, forged ahead, and beat the last French swimmer by just 8 milliseconds. Very very close, don't you think? Anyway, Micheal Phelps has already won his 6th gold medal! Well, let's hope he can go on and get his 7th and 8th!
Go Micheal Phelps!
