The whole world unites in the beauty of the olympic games.May the peace and unity of the olympics be with the whole world.
Lets join the updates. At this moment there is a perfomance by doves of peace and the bringing in of the olympic torch after a long journey around the 5 continents of the world.

The olympic torch still on its journey to light the olympic flame being carrid by different Chinese greats. The last person a gymnast is soaring to the sky.

See effizee. The guy seems to be doing some skywalking.

Extraordinary says the commentator.
Special says i.

O boy this is awesome. The flame is lit. Welcome to the spectacular opening of the 2008 olympic games.

Wow!

The World is watching a dream come true. The fireworks is WOW!

Yes o! Let the games begin. Once every four years the the opening of the games keeps getting better and better but really this is spectacular. Peace to the world.

I missed it cos of work

Sorry dear friend, it was something to see. I hope you and all who missed it will have the pleasure of watching it again somehow, somewhere. Meanwhile NEPA has done their thing  . Make i go find as i go on gen.

China is the next wonder of the new world. the ceremony is a 7-star performance.

Damn. I missed it. Hope CNN replayes it.

the CHINESE went all out rite.i was in total awe the entire time.damn did ull see the countdown. every lil thing done in unison perfect timing i cannot believe those were human beings . i dont care how much time they had to practice that was just heavenly.

It was awesome

This Opening Ceremony beat all the ones i have seen hands down

They are simply winches nuff said

I'm watching it now. Beautiful opening by the Chinese

So depressing watching the [parade though and seeing all these countries that don't allow women on their teams like KSA, Afghanistan, Iran, etc

Imagine the lone woman on the Afghani team having to run away seeking asylum because she's been receiving death threats for wanting to be part of the Olympics

So pathetic.

the Americans are the star attraction here, everyone wants to take pictures with them.

Gorgeous ceramony.

I so cannot believe I missed it.

Am on the phone with my mom now, and she's telling me about it

Ugh!! anyone got the link, so I can watch it online?

I watched a little bit of it on the news, it looked so beautiful!!

Damn. I missed it. Hope CNN replayes it.

You're not the only one.

The lighting of the olympic flame was nothing but spectacular . . . but in my opinion it still comes short of Atlanta '96 when Ali lit the flames and captivated the whole world

This is the best ever

the lighting of the torch capped a spectacular performance. the best i have seen.

OMG. I saw it on NBC. It was so darn beautiful. Better then Athens!!!

speCTacular. The only word good enuff to describe the opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I watched it on TV though a replay of the event.

That sky-walk just killed it for me Even Jet Li would have been proud of those effects

Does anyone know when CNN or NBC will replay the opening ceremony?

It was BEYOND AWESOME!!! China Brung it!!

Bet the British are Peeing in their tight conservative panties wondering how they'll top this.  

They have 4 yrs, hopefully they skip tea and biscuit to practice.

@ Sisikill,

Take that sarcastic mind of yours off. . . .
How dare u diss the Brits??
We would top what CHINA has done. . . . Just watch!!!!
The whole opening ceremony would take place on River Thames.

So, we shuld be expecting Gr8 Britain 2 take us 2 Mars 4 D next Olympic opening Ceremony.

The opening ceremony was simply breathtaking. Never seen such perfect coordination of movement and people as the Chinese displayed yesterday.

Fireworks display was out of the ordinary. It was a well done job.

@SEANT,

I finally "nagged" dreeldee to give me a list of site of the ceremony.

Here they are, atleast we can now watch the pieces

They cant as they dont have culture. Unless they wanna show women in petticoats talking about various types of tea and what to eat baked beans with.
